Shoot for one half of an hour of semi-challenging exercise every day.

5)      Lowering cholesterol for the long run has a lot to do with stress management. Deep breathing is a wonderful place to begin. Just 5 to 10 deep breaths have been proven for thousands of years to alleviate stress and make you feel so much better. Do some reading about the miraculous benefits associated with meditation and the Yogic arts.
