I went to the doctor not too long ago and she said she was concerned because I'm only 23 and I'm already showing signs of high blood pressure. My dad had it, and my mom has it now, so I'm sure that if I don't take better care of myself, it might become a big problem in the long run.

Since then I've been trying to keep my salt intake at a minimum. In addition to that, I've been using certain spices and herbs when I make my meals.

I really should cut down on the alcohol intake, but that's another story.
