I’m 26, 150-160 pounds soaking wet, and I found out at the Doctor several days ago I have high blood pressure. I ate a lot junk, lots of fried food and soda. Didn’t exercise that much and maybe a little family history-couple had problems, a lot didn’t. I’ve cranked up the exercise to 1.5 miles a day jogging, push-ups, crunches, etc. I’ve been calorie counting, watching fat and sodium. Plain cheerios and mixed greens have become my best friends. I’ve been sticking to a limited amount of soda, 20 oz, but I drink a lot of water and a little juice. I have been taking magnesium, potassium and fish oil supplements. Is there anything else I should be doing, particularly since I am young? It seems I can get a good amount of basic vitamins from all the cheerios and mixed greens so I don’t want to overdo it with a 100% everything multivitamin. Potassium and magnesium seems a little harder to get enough of, and same with the amount of proper fat/oils so I take the fish oil pills. There seems to be a bunch of different heart health supplements out there, I’m scared I’ll take something and it turns out its unhealthy.
