My DH has high BP and wonky cholesterol/triglycerides. These things are predominately genetic issues, as everyone on his mom's side have the same issues, including his skinny, active mom and marathon-running aunt. Our PCP also recommended a daily glass of wine. He's also on BP meds, but doesn't need to do anything more. He's recently lost noticeable weight, too, which will likely help. And he bikes a TON.
