Cholesterol: There are five types of cholesterol problems. Since you did not give us any specifics about your cholesterol panel it is very difficult to give you any specific answers. But, remember that cholesterol in general is mostly a genetics caused problem. Lifestyle and diet only affect this in small ways.
