I'm a 44 year old male and was just
disganosed with slightly high blood
pressure - 146/80 and was told while not
altogether alarming, I should have it
watched. All the info i've found online
about controlling or lowering your blood
pressure naturally are things i've already
done my whole life: i've never smoked,
never drink alchohol, eat a low fat diet,
stay away from most high cholesterol
products like eggs, cheese, etc., have
either a low-salt or salt free diet,
excerise moderately almost every day, am
not the "hyper" or "stressed-out" type of
personality (if anything, I tend to be too
laid back), and so forth. I am, however,
about 25 pounds overweight from what I
should be. Is that probably responsible
or are there other reasons? What more can
I do to improve my lifestsyle other that
what i'm already doing without resorting
to medication? Is there reason yet to be
worried at this stage?

Sounds like you're doing everything right,
but I would join a gym and get rid of that
25lb overweight.
