High cholesterol is not always bad despite with doctors might tell you. Be very cautious about possible staten drugs which can cause heart failure do to Q-10 co enzyme depletion as well as nerve/mental conditions do to the depletion of cholesterol in your brain. Cholesterol is actually very good for you, for the protection against cancers and many other conditions. It's bad fats such as trans fats that make your cholesterol bad. Just may need to change your diet alittle.

High fat snacks at night are bad, so is lack of fruit in your diet. Lack of exercise will keep your cholesterol high. Packaged baked goods ? Trans Fats. Eat more small colorful fruits and veggies. As HDL comes up, LDL also falls.
