(Info from WebMD) Sometimes the exact cause of high blood pressure is never determined, but there are certain risk factors that may put you in the risk category. These factors include but are not limited to: smoking, being overweight, not getting enough exercise, getting too much salt (sodium) in your diet, drinking excessively, having high blood pressure in your family, stress, and ethnic back ground. Some of these risk factors can be changed, such as smoking, exercise, and changing the diet. But those risk factors that are in your blood and genes such as having a family history of HBP or your ethnic background cannot be changed. Making major lifestyle changes can be extremely difficult, as our bodies seem to be resistant to change, especially quickly, but taking it in even baby steps are steps in the right direction. Love,

" In life we all have trials and tribulations to endure weather it be physical, mental or social. For me personally when i encountered MDJunction i was astounded. Since i joined MDJunction to me it has been a god send and a life saver. I have met and been able to converse freely with so many people in the same situation as myself, (that alone is a big help, to know your not alone) to be able to discuss and get good advice from a braud section of people. One of lifes hardest things is to discuss personal issues with friends/family and yet the mdj family is non judgmental and you will be made totally welcome to talk through any issue thats on your mind. There are forums for every known issue to mankind, to me MDJ.com has become my family extension, id be lost without these good people and the extremely good guide lines that group leaders help us all with to keep threads topical and friendly."
