Currently, he has hypertension, hyperglycemia, and excessive body weight. Based on the information I obtained, I suspect the subject will have a higher risk of getting diabetes, CVD and stroke. My dietary recommendation is to reduce intakes of sugary desserts. The desserts that my subject likes are high in sugar content such as ice cream, brownies, cakes, and pie. In addition, the portion size of the desserts in his diet was big. Therefore, it increased his sugar intakes, and it cause diabetes potentially. He might reduce the portion size and frequency to have desserts in the diets. Thus, he might replace desserts with fresh fruit, yogurts, etc. Other than the modifications on diet, he might increase his physical activities level. Enough exercises are vital for maintaining good health, and may help him to lose those excessive body weight. Therefore, 30 minutes jogging each day can be an option. Overall, my recommendations are aimed at reducing excessive sugar and calories intake. Thus, hopefully lower the subject’s risk of getting serious health
