How I Can Bring Down Cholesterol Level?

hi - i just had my blood work done and I have a cholesterol level of 241 // HDL 69- I excercise and eat healthy but this level seems to me in the very unhealthy zone - could I have a genetical predisposition given my dad and granddad both had high cholesterol??
