Living Healthy
A cholesterol medication such as LIPITOR is one important part of
managing your cholesterol and staying heart-healthy. You can also help
protect your heart by making exercise and healthy eating a part of your
life.
Healthy Eating Habits
You don't have to change your whole diet to eat healthier. You can
start by making different, healthy choices. For example, instead of
having a fast-food burger for lunch, try a grilled chicken sandwich
with lettuce and tomato. And skip the fries. Try to add a few more
fruits, vegetables, grains, and lean proteins into your diet, too.
Healthy Exercise Tips
Some people think of exercise as a chore. But you can fit some
exercise into your life without going out of your way. Start with small
changes. Instead of taking the elevator or escalator, take the stairs.
If you're going to the mall, don't park your car near the front door.
Park farther away. More walking adds simple exercise to your day. Even
30 minutes of activity most days of the week can get you results.
Remember to talk to your doctor before starting any new exercise
program.
