Many people think that "high blood pressure" is a health condition. We have all heard someone say, "I have high blood pressure." Is it really something that you "have" though, like a sickness? No. Let me tell you why.

High blood pressure is not a disease or condition. It is a symptom. A lot of people use drugs to "lower their blood pressure", or the symptoms. Drugs are used to hide the symptoms. These work to lower the blood pressure by thinning the blood, by using the ingredient Warfarin or Coumadin. These blood thinners are the exact same product used in rat killer poison. The blood thinner does not kill the rodent, but once it gets scratched on the inside or outside, it bleeds to death quickly. I am a daring person, but I personally would not want to be on any blood thinner in my life. That is why I rely on personal education and a healthy diet. Good nutrition can be the best preventative medicine.
