Lipitor is a medication that is used to treat high cholesterol levels [1]. According to a study published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, yoga can help in reducing cholesterol levels in the body [2]. However, the study did not mention any adverse effects of taking Lipitor while performing yoga.
A press release from EurekAlert stated that a combination of yoga and Lipitor can help in reducing the risk of heart disease in high-risk individuals [3]. The study mentioned in the press release focused on the effects of yoga and Lipitor on arterial stiffness and endothelial function in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The study concluded that the combination of yoga and Lipitor was more effective in improving arterial stiffness and endothelial function than either intervention alone.
Based on the sources provided, there is no evidence to suggest that taking Lipitor will affect yoga performance negatively. In fact, the combination of yoga and Lipitor may be beneficial in reducing the risk of heart disease in high-risk individuals. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise routine or medication.
