Visiting your doctor is the best way to find out what your personal cholesterol level is currently and whether or not steps need to be taken to change it. If you prefer you could purchase a test and take it at home before visiting your doctor but a professional test tends to be more accurate. Also, you doctor will be able to advise you on the best steps for you personally and may even show you a food chart for lowering cholesterol which should help. The daily regimen will vary from person to person, as everyone metabolizes foods differently but it’s advisable to eat cholesterol lowering foods and use a home cholesterol test.
