INTRODUCTION
High cholesterol and lipid levels can significantly increase a person's risk of developing chest pain, heart attack, and stroke. Fortunately, a number of effective treatment options are available.
Lipid levels can almost always be lowered with a combination of diet, weight loss, exercise, and medications. As lipid levels fall, so does the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), including disease of blood vessels supplying the heart (coronary artery disease), brain (cerebrovascular disease), and limbs (peripheral vascular disease). This results in a lower risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. It is not too late if CVD is already present; lipid-lowering treatment can be lifesaving.
An explanation of what cholesterol and lipids are, how they affect health, and when levels should be measured is available in a separate topic (see "Patient information: High cholesterol and lipids (hyperlipidemia) (Beyond the Basics)"). This topic will review when treatment is recommended, the available treatment options, and the risks, benefits, and effectiveness of each treatment.
Now, all of you 'part-time MD's' get into the comments of effective treatment of high cholesterol.

Sounds like going for some exercise such as running or swimming is a better choice than anything else.
