Ideal cholesterol level: Below 200 mg / dL
Borderline cholesterol level: 200-240 mg / dL
High cholesterol level: above 240 mg / dL

First you have to fast at least 12-14 hours before test....so your value is normal ....but i recommended to make anther test while you are fasting...

There is no range of cholesterol without fasting..i mean if you have heavy meal rich of fat...is different that meal with less fat.

About the food that decrease LDL:

You don't need to reduce your food intake (unless you are overweight) in a diet for lowering cholesterol levels, all you need to do is to substitute certain foods for more healthy ones.

Our bodies make too much cholesterol when we eat too much saturated fat in our diet. Saturated fat is the kind of fat found in animal-based foods such as meat and dairy products.

We also get some cholesterol directly from animal-based foods in our diet such as meat, eggs, and dairy products. Plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains do not contain cholesterol. Due to the high saturated fat content of the average diet, more than one-half of American adults have blood cholesterol levels that are too high.

you can read this article and news about Diet for Lowering Cholesterol : http://cholesterolbasics.info/diet_for_l...

Ideal cholesterol level: Below 200 mg / dL
Borderline cholesterol level: 200-240 mg / dL
High cholesterol level: above 240 mg / dL

Saturated fats contribute to elevation of LDL.
Minimize your intake of animal products such as fats, butter, and egg yolk. Substitute animal products with plant derivatives. For example, use olive oil.

less than 200mg/dl------DESIRABLE
200-239mg/dl-------------BORDERLINE HIGH
240mg/dl or high---------HIGH
