It's not uncommon for young adults in their upper teens and early twenties to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and sedentary lifestyles. This, obviously, sets them up for much more serious chronic illnesses later in life. Good news is that the younger people are when they start to make healthy changes the better, so by encouraging a few good habits now it's possible health disasters can be averted later.
