AstraZeneca and Food University Healthy Cooking Video Series
Food University formed a partnership with AstraZeneca in support of its cholesterol-lowering medication CRESTOR® (rosuvastatin calcium) to educate people about the importance of maintaining a healthy diet as one way to help manage cholesterol. Together, we aim to empower people to take control of their health by showing how even small changes, like incorporating more low-cholesterol foods into one’s diet, can make a big difference. We hope the information and tools provided help people learn how to integrate healthy eating and cooking habits into their everyday routines.
As part of this partnership, we are pleased to present the Food University and AstraZeneca Healthy Cooking Video Series, in which our Food University chef personalities provide cooking demonstrations and offer simple tips and recipes for making healthy, well-balanced meals.
Like many people, you may have tried managing your cholesterol simply by sticking to a low-cholesterol diet or trying to become more active. But sometimes there’s more to it than that. When diet and exercise alone aren’t enough, adding CRESTOR can help. CRESTOR, along with diet, can slow the progression of atherosclerosis, the progressive buildup of plaque in the arteries over time, as part of a treatment plan in adults to lower cholesterol to goal.

About CRESTOR® (rosuvastatin calcium) Tablets
When diet and exercise alone aren’t enough, adding CRESTOR can help.
In adults, CRESTOR is prescribed along with diet to lower high cholesterol, and to slow the buildup of plaque in arteries as part of a treatment plan to lower cholesterol to goal.
CRESTOR is also prescribed to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in people without known heart disease, but at increased risk based on age (men 50 years and older, women 60 years and older), elevated blood levels of hsCRP (which is a sign of inflammation that can be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events), plus at least one additional risk factor (such as high blood pressure, low HDL “good” cholesterol, smoking, or family history of early heart disease).
Important Safety Information about CRESTOR® (rosuvastatin calcium) Tablets
CRESTOR is not right for everyone, including anyone who has previously had an allergic reaction to CRESTOR, anyone with liver problems, or women who are nursing, pregnant, or who may become pregnant. Your doctor should do blood tests before and during treatment with CRESTOR to monitor your liver function. Unexplained muscle pain or weakness could be a sign of a rare but serious side effect and should be reported to your doctor right away. Elevated blood sugar levels have been reported with statins, including CRESTOR. Be sure to tell your doctor if you are taking any medications.
