"The concept of a polypill for everyone over 55 to cut heart disease by up to 80% was mooted over five years ago, but slow progress has been made since.As if diet and "exercise" (it is better to train) could ever become realities.

Hey, maybe you are some of the nuts at Fitness Watch.
"'Eating healthily and taking regular exercise are proven ways to lower high blood pressure - and have many other health benefits too - and there is a danger that these lifestyle factors could be overlooked in favour of 'popping a pill'."Ya think?
