Eat lower-fat foods. Saturated fat and trans fat, found in foods such as red meat, butter, cream, ice cream, potato chips, pastries, candy bars and many packaged snack foods, raise blood cholesterol. Excessive cholesterol can lead to blood vessel blockage and stroke. Instead, use lower-fat foods as substitutes when you can. Choose fish, poultry, beans and legumes over fatty meats, nonfat dairy foods instead of whole milk and cream, frozen yogurt instead of ice cream and lower-fat versions of cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream and yogurt.

Atorvastatin works by blocking an enzyme in the liver that your body uses to make cholesterol. When less cholesterol is produced, the liver takes up more cholesterol from the bloodstream. This results in lower levels of cholesterol circulating in your blood. Lipitor - Atorvastatin is used with diet changes (restriction of cholesterol and fat intake) to reduce the amount of cholesterol and certain fatty substances in your blood. Accumulation of cholesterol and fats along the walls of your arteries (a process known as atherosclerosis) decreases blood flow and, therefore, the oxygen supply to your heart, brain, and other parts of your body. Lowering your blood level of cholesterol and fats may help to prevent heart disease, angina (chest pain), strokes, and heart attacks.
