Some people naturally have high colesterol, and having high colesterol doesn't always mean you will die. You don't need to eliminate all the bad things, but just cut back. Probably as important as reducing the bad fat is to increase good fats from foods like avacado, olive oil, and nuts, especially almonds and walnuts. Consider taking fish oil pills because that is another very good fat source. Regular exercise is very important for heart health, though it may not lower your cholesterol. My grandmother is 82, has had high colesterol (350+) ever since they first tested her for it over 20 years ago. She is very skinny too. She tried to control it with diet and exercise, but it barely budged. She stayed away from the drugs, and she is still kicking, and she walks daily for exercise.
