Both your cholesterol and triglycerides are elevated,the LDL is allso well over the optimum mark of 100.It would help to go on a low fat diet,mainly polysaturated fats need to be avoided.Use of Fibrates/Nicotinic Acid/Statins/omega 3 fatty acids will help reduce the triglyceride levels,Losing weight if obese,ruling out hypothyroidism,checking that certain medicines which affect triglycerides are not being taken will help .Stopping smoking and limiting alcohol will also help.Your exercisae levels are good,a healthier diet will help.
