Well various studies suggests that any LDL above 90 is not good. Keep a watch on cooked-fat intake, promote high fiber in diet  and regular 40 min cardiac exercise which can be best done by brisk walking.  If levels remain high even after 3 months of such routine, then we should intervene with some medications.
