Thank you for the query high cholesterol can be detected by a very simple blood test known as fasting lipid profile. This will give you an idea of the total cholesterol, triglycerides, ldl and hdl. To control cholesterol you need to cut down on the saturated fat content of your diet (like ghee, butter etc) and reduce the intake of refined carbohydrate and carbonated drinks. Walking helps to increase hdl cholesterol (the good cholesterol). If high cholesterol is detected in the test you can go for the statin group of drugs (after consulting a physician).
