Depends on few factors...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Cholesterol can be controlled with diet and exercises. However if cholesterol numbers are high and there are multiple other risk factors - age, diabetes, high blood pressure and so, it would be best to start lipid lowering medications like statin's to treat it.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
