The Guardian article, forwarded to me by Dr. John, referred to below is very much on point because it reminds us of a fact that we all know, namely, exercise is good for us. From my own experience I observed that my pumping (systolic) pressure usually drops 20+ mmHg, after a one-hour walk. Our mostly sedentary lifestyle, associated with office work, and similar, creates a variety of problems, it appears. Doctors have always urged us to exercise, only to end up prescribing some medication for whatever ails us because we refused to listen.
I don't know about you but I will read through the article and incorporate what makes sense, and what I can do, considering my physical capabilities. If you value good health, it is time to do something about it; let us surprise our doctor at our next visit.

We can do this, at least some of it.
