Professor Malcolm Law is advocating mass medication - blood pressure drugs for ALL the over 55s for the rest of their lives - to reduce blood pressure and the risk of stroke. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8057850.stm
A bit extreme, don'tya think? - A bit OTT? - A bit daft? - I agree with you. - Makes you wonder whether it was a drug company that funded the research, doesn't it?
Here are the two safe, easy, rapid, drug-free ways to reduce your blood pressure and your risk of stroke and risk of a load of other illnesses too, as well as lowering your weight if you are overweight:
1. Avoid taking prescription drugs unless they are really necessary, because many of them actually CAUSE high blood pressure and risk of stroke and heart attack and type 2 diabetes, etc.
2. Cut down on salt/sodium and salty food.
Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, stroke, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs, hunger or expense by eating less salt! - Try it!
