| There is no need to to "manage cholesterol". The liver produces as much cholesterol as the rest of the body tells it too. Cholesterol is used for making hormones, building cell membranes, maintaining the nervous system, etc. And reducing its level doesn't make sense. The fact that cholesterol is also used to repair inflamed artery linings is purely incidental. Reducing cholesterol to prevent heart attacks is a bit like shooting the messenger. It does nothing to fix the fundamental problem.
It makes much more sense to put all your energy into reducing stress, eating well, and getting lots of exercise. Doing this really does reduce heart attack risk. I don't even measure my cholesterol anymore. The amount of cholesterol in my blood is irrelevant. It is what it needs to be.
