If you don’t get your cholesterol down your arteries can get clogged up with cholesterol and this can lead to a heart attack or a stroke.

Weston Price is funded by producers of meat and dairy, so I wouldn’t take their medical recommendations seriously. (That would be like taking health advice from Phillip Morris.)
However, it is certainly preferable to lower your cholesterol naturally. Since you aren’t far outside of normal range, it shouldn’t be difficult.

Helpful Herbs
Cayenne (capsicum), goldenseal, and hawthorn berries help lower cholesterol. Kombucha Tea has also been found to lower cholesterol.

Supplements:
(use as directed)
Apple Pectin
Chromium Picolinate
Garlic
Lecithin
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Vitamin C with bioflavonoids

Dietary:
The following foods help to lower cholesterol:
Apples, bananas, carrots, dried beans, garlic, grapefruit, olive oil.
Increasing dietary fiber is very important:
Consume plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, barley, beans, brown rice and oats.
Drink fresh (unpasteurized) juices, especially carrot, celery and beet.
Avoid animal products, and fried or fatty foods.
Do not consume alcohol, candy, carbonated drinks, caffeine, gravies, non-dairy creamers, pastries, processed or refined foods, and avoid tobacco.
Get regular moderate exercise.

You don’t need to take drugs to get your cholesterol in a good range. Exercising and eating a healthy diet are enough to do that, but you can’t skip out on the exercising :\ Sorry! It sounds like you are doing a good job starting out, but keep going!

The concern about cholesterol is not overrated. Cholesterol slowly will cause your arteries to become clogged which can raise blood pressure, cause diabetes and lead to heart attacks. Unless you want these problems later, cholesterol IS something to be worried about.

It’s really important you start eating a normal healthy diet that consists mostly of fresh fruit and veg. If you don’t eat crap and exercise regularly then you’ll have no need for these drugs.
