: He should also drop any bad habits, like smoking

: If he is overweight, get it down (way down).
: If he has a temper, he needs anger management
: classes.

I agree with Ray, except I don't give him till 50 if he doesn't make some lifestyle changes, take his PRESCRIBED medicine and see the doctor.
BP is nothing to play with and taking herbal remedies in place of medicine is a bad choice. Herbal remedies are good to maintain, but to rely on that to control one's BP is risky.

: Otherwise, by the time hes 50, (if he makes it that long) you better have a good life insurance policy.
