my mom recently went to the emergency room for high blood pressure it was something like 220/110. well im really worried about my mom i really love her. she has made some changes in eating better but it really makes me mad when i see her eating chesseburger and french fries and she still doesnt eat all that healthy and she sits at the computer all day and doesnt get any excersize. How can i get my mom to take better care of her health? I told her how I felt but she hasnt been doing anything and she thinks her high blood pressure is jsut the cause of stress :/

That must be stressful to deal with, I'm sorry.
Could you maybe volunteer to cook dinner once or twice a week? I don't know about you, but I know my mother loves when she doesn't have to cook. That way your mom will have a couple more healthy meals that don't require effort on her part, and she could see that healthy food can taste good too.
Maybe ask her to join you for a short walk? She may not say yes, but if she sees you making an effort to get yourself into shape, maybe she'll feel motivated. (if you aren't doing that already, I mean).

Anyways I can see how that would be frustrating. A woman I work with has had a couple heart attacks and she still eats burgers and doughnuts all the time and doesn't exercise and I just don't undersatnd why . . . *sighs* people just go into denial.

Anyways, best of luck with this

cooking for your mother would be really good. i believe she would like and it would take stress off if you do that...stress is a big part of the problem..the thing is just to be patiant and just help her out in any way you can.. good luck.

Ask your mom to spend time with you doing fun and active things, try asking her to go for a walk with you or something like that. I know that you want to see fast changes, but it'll take a while for her to break her lazy and unhealthy habbits. Take her out to eat or something at one of your restruants that serves only healthy food.

If you've told her how you feel, that's the important thing. Lots of people know what they should do for their health but just don't want to do it. I guess they figure that eating what they like now is more important to them than adding a few years at the end of their lives. I'd say to just tell her she's important to you and offer to help with any food issues, then leave it at that.
