My boyfriend just turned 19 this month, yet recently has gone to the dcotor to get a mole biopsied for cancer, (still waiting for results), has high blood pressure, 127 over 80, which is above normal for his age, he weights 235 pounds and is only 5'8. which is very unhealthy.
how can i help him get his blood pressure lower? & to make him realize this is serious, he is only 19 he shouldn't be like this. I want to help him get healthy and lose weight. he thinks this is no big deal. Helppp please.

have you tried being up front and honest? tell him that it hurts you to see him hurting himself and that you would love to help him get better. be his workout buddy, whatever it takes. make an intervention, food is as much of a drug as anything else.
if you don't feel so bold, instead of going to the movies go bowling, instead of going out to eat make a romantic picnic of fruits and salads, instead of sitting at home and watching tv go play mini golf etc. instead of contributing to sitting around get out and do something!

Maybe you could cook healthy meals for him a few times a week. Also do as many activities as possible. You 2 could both get a membership to a gym together. Go bowling, basketball, Shoot pool, etc. Get him moving around as much as possible.

Tell him you're going to start for your benefit and see if he wants to join you perhaps. Otherwise your just going to have to be rude and suggest he pay more attention to his lifestyle. Show him some newspaper articles with 30 year old men dying from heart problems, which is occuring more and more often these days.

Find true stories and show him. Even better, have him meet with someone who wishes they had taken better care of theirselfs If all else fails, tell his mom to talk to him. He is only 19.

Tell him that if he takes YOU seriously- he'll listen to your concerns about his heath. If he doesn't- then neither of you have a future.
