Hi!
If you eat healthy and exercise and your cholesterol and LDL levels are high, then you need medications to keep them in check. Yes, diet control is necessary with effort being made to avoid high calorie foods and saturated fats, but I guess you are already doing that. So, please consult your doctor and it may be good to start medications like statins to keep the cholesterol and LDL levels under check.
Take care!
