30 Minutes Of Exercise Everyday Can Cut High Blood Pressure

 

Little more than half an hour of exercise everyday could cut your risk of high blood pressure by almost a fifth, say researchers.
Doing just four hours a week of physical activity during leisure time could make the difference between a healthy blood pressure and having to take drugs for life.
New findings from the American Heart Association (AHA) suggest the more recreational physical activity you get, the more you are protected from developing high blood pressure

People who exercised more than four hours per week in their leisure time had a 19 per cent lower risk of high blood pressure than those who exercised less than one hour per week.
People who had one to three hours per week of leisure exercise had an 11 per cent lower risk than those with under an hour of activity.

People with hypertension – the medical term – are routinely advised to change their lifestyle and eat less salt, lose weight, drink less alcohol, eat more fruit and vegetables and exercise more.
