Throwing in blood pressure in the mix is interesting? That's not really something you can control isn't it?

Yes, you absolutely can control it

All of the following affect it, and many other things do too:

- sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium intake

- exercise

- obesity

- many drugs (including ibuprofen and stimulants)

- alcohol

- smoking

- prescriptions for lowering BP
