In addition to some medications that can be used to lower the level of cholesterol in the blood, you can also make some healthy lifestyle changes such as maintaining a heart-healthy diet, getting regular physical activity, losing weight if overweight, and quitting smoking. Focus on reducing saturated and trans fats and increasing intake of fiber-rich foods like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes.
