When taking Lipitor (atorvastatin), a statin medication commonly used to lower cholesterol levels, it is often recommended to make certain lifestyle changes to complement its effects. These changes typically include adopting a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats, cholesterol, and trans fats, as well as increasing consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Regular exercise is also encouraged, aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. Additionally, quitting smoking and moderating alcohol consumption are important steps to improve heart health alongside taking Lipitor. These lifestyle modifications can help enhance the effectiveness of the medication and promote overall cardiovascular health.
