"Healthy diet just as good"......
Sorry....I must disagree. While a proper lifestyle can make a huge difference and in
many cases prevent or eliminate hypertension there are plenty of organic conditions
that result in having hypertension....hypertension that will not respond to non
pharmacological interventions. While the holistic approach to controlling blood pressure
is and should be the first alternative it doesn't always work....and hypertension, like
diabetes is a gateway disease that will if left untreated lead to many many other serious
health conditions. So diet and exercise are important....but in the end what is more important
is controlling hypertension. If that requires medication than that is the path that must be taken.
Pleasing your enemies does not turn them into friends.
