Respected Madam
Thanks for your query.
262 mg% is definitely higher than normal. You must get a detailed lipid profile so that exact treatment can be planned. Your clinical profile including history of diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, medication and cardiovascular disorders etc will be required.
diet should not contain more than 30% calories from fat and not more than 7% calories from saturated fats. Avoid fired items, butter, sweets, hydrogenated and trans fats. Take vegetables, legumes, fruits, nuts and diet rich in fibers.
