Does exercise lower cholesterol and triglycerides?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I recently received my blood test report, and I noticed that some of the values, specifically Cholesterol, CHCM, MCV, MCH, and MCHC are slightly outside the normal range. I would like to understand what these results mean and if they indicate any health concerns.
