What are the Uses of Atorva 80 Mg?
The statin class of drugs includes Atorva 80 Tablet, used to treat high cholesterol. With regular use, Atorva 80 Tablet can reduce your blood's LDL cholesterol levels and raise your HDL "good" cholesterol levels. An abnormal accumulation of lipids (blood fats) causes dyslipidaemia. High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or bad cholesterol) and triglycerides (TG) and low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or good cholesterol) characterise this syndrome (HDL or good cholesterol).
Atorva 80 Tablet contains atorvastatin, which reduces the amount of cholesterol that can build up on artery walls and obstruct blood flow to the heart, brain, and other organs by delaying the body's creation of cholesterol. The cholesterol that can collect in the arteries of the heart, brain and other organs of the body is reduced by the use of Atorva 80 Tablet.

Warning
To calm your body and mind, you can try aromatherapy, yoga, or meditation.
To increase your oxygen intake, practise deep breathing exercises.
Consume a diet high in healthy fats and soluble fibre, such as that found in beans, legumes, whole grains, flax, apples, and citrus fruits.
Avocados, olive oil, fatty fish, and nuts contain a lot of heart-healthy unsaturated fats, so it's helpful to eat them consistently. Try to replace most of your saturated fats with these.
Olive oil, fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, seafood, and limited red meat and most dairy should form the basis of a healthy diet.
Antioxidants included in fruits and vegetables can aid in reducing LDL cholesterol, thus they should be a priority in your daily diet.
Reduce your consumption of sugary beverages. Women and kids should limit their daily intake of added sugar to 100 calories (25 grammes), while males should limit their intake to 150 calories (37.5 grammes).
The American Heart Association suggests keeping your daily intake of sodium chloride (table salt) to no more than 2,300 milligrammes.
