Can I ask what R the most used drugs treating ie: BP, cholesterol etc.

I have asked several times for your age, Jimbo. That makes a big difference in a lot of things. I am guessing you are in your early fifties. Am I correct? I didn't take any meds when I was in my early fifties.
Your diet isn't the total answer to good health, no matter how much YOU believe it is. There is NO shame in taking medicine to maintain your health. It goes without saying that just about every person I have ever met knows that an optimum weight and a healthy exercise regimen is important to maintaining good health together with a varied low fat diet containing a lot of fruits and vegetables and small portions of meat/protein.
HOW OLD ARE YOU? I am 72.
There is no doubt that the most prescribed drugs are for hypertension and to lower cholesterol. Those drugs are prolonging our lives. I don't see anything wrong with that.
