Triglyceride level is mildly high.It should be below 150 mg/dl.
HDL level is good.
LDL is towards upper limit.It should be below 100 mg/dl.
Beside medicines you should be active in your daily life.
You should avoid red meat and high fat milk products.
Cook food in olive or canola oil.
You should take limited salt in your diet.You should also avoid fried and junk food.
Take lot of fruits and vegetables.You should also increase your physical activity in the form of walking and exercise.
Avoid alcohol and cigarettes if you take these things.
