I heard a cardiologist describing the dangers of high blood pressure and how it causes stroke, heart disease, and other bad health situations, and all I could do is wonder, well, what causes high blood pressure, and isn't it simply another symptom correlated with stroke, heart disease, and other bad health situations? We no longer seek to find the root cause that could be the reason for a variety of symptoms.


A friend and I used to walk our dogs together every day and when I moved she said she had to go back on her blood pressure meds because she didn't walk as far or as fast without me. It's too bad that doctors don't "prescribe" a half hour of somewhat brisk walking daily - for various reasons. Simple walking also compared favorably with Zoloft for depression in a Duke University a while back, for instance.

I joined a weight loss group last year and was rather shocked to find that most members do no form of exercise and ALL of them still eat sugar! Including the diabetics.
