Lipitor fights bad cholesterol

Congratulations. By purchasing this website, you made a commitment to help control your lipitor. And, by slogging your way through a discussion of how your heart works and a slew of charts with figures proving what I bet you already knew — heart disease and heart attack send a great many folks to their ultimate reward — you’ve shown just how serious you are about getting a handle on those nasty Lipitor numbers.

Now, by gosh, you’ve reached the heart of the matter: Lipitor.

In the past half century, literally hundreds of well - run scientific studies, run by thousands of different researchers in dozens of different countries have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that having high cholesterol — specifically, high levels of LDLs (low - density lipoproteins) — is a strong warning that you may be meeting Mr. Heart Disease and Ms. Heart Attack in your future.

At the same time, hundreds of other studies have shown that you can control your cholesterol and thereby reduce your risk of heart attack.

What you eat and drink plays an important role in controlling your cholesterol as I explain in Parts II and III. So does maintaining a healthful weight — also in Part II. Exercise, discussed in Post 8, is a plus. So is a tobacco - free lifestyle (see Post 9). And if all else fails, new cholesterol - lowering medications, discussed in Post 12, offer yet another option. Each of these methods for lowering your cholesterol — diet, weight control, exercise, and medicines — has its own post (or two or three) in this website. As a health - conscious consumer, you get to pick and choose among them — like a gourmet at a gorgeous buffet table. A low - fat, low - cholesterol buffet table, of course.
