Look up the Pritikin Diet. Unless you've already been exercising vigorously, you should begin with walking. Start with 20 minutes daily. Work up to 60 minutes daily. You can do it in intervals so you can do 1x60 or 2x30, 3x20, 4x15 etc... You need accountability and a reward mechanism for behavioural change. Buy a Fitbit to monitor your daily steps. Your goal should be 10,000 initially, but you should work up to 15,000 as you ingrain the habit. To keep yourself accountable for your diet, do your blood-work every 3 months to track your success.

My cardiologist put me on a high dose of slow release niacin that has worked really good for me. I was unable to tolerate any statin (didn't want to take them anyway). I have to get regular blood work while on the niacin and once and a while get a good flush - but I can deal with it.

Eat natural wholesome, look out for bad fats like palm oil that is hidden in food, processed food is the biggest culprit hidden sugar and salt which cause havoc for cholesterol.

Eat as healthy as you possibly can avoid passive smoke stay away from main roads that chug out disgusting poisons into the atmosphere
