Regular exercise atleast 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week and diet regulation is a must... Avoid excess carbohydrates and cholesterol rich food in diet... Increase meal frequency and reduce meal quantity... Increase fibre and protein portion of meals... Monitor lipid profile after 6 months... If still not under control then we can consider medications along with diet and lifestyle modification...
