Eat a diet rich in soluble fiber foods like oats, barley, fruits, and vegetables, and include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and olive oil to help lower cholesterol levels at home.

Hi, Hope you are doing well. Based on what you have provided I would strongly advice you to start the following A regular calorie counted diet Aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, running, swimming etc) - 30 mins a day for 5 days a week. Start slow. Beyond the steps, it's important to have a dedicated half hour of activity too. Avoid alcohol and smoking Repeat the reports only after 3 months. The sample has to be a fasting sample (8 hours of no food, basically after you wake up give a morning sample) You don't directly need medicines to control this. Don't fall for that. Do consult for better information

As you don't have any associated medical disorders,you can continue with physical activity and diet changes.Your LDL cholesterol level is moderately elevated,high hdl level is good.As you are above 60 years, you can consider taking statins like rosuastatin 10 mg once a day for a few months to bring your LDL cholesterol level lower.
