HTN : While family history is an important factor, it isn't the only determinant. Maintaining a healthy weight, a balanced diet and incorporating exercise, along with a avoiding smoking can help to reduce the odds that you will have hypertension. Regular check ups with your physician to monitor your blood pressure are also helpful. Of course, no one can predict what will or will not happen in the future
