3 Exercises To Lower Blood Pressure And Release The Tension

High blood pressure or hypertension can lead to serious health problems involving your cardiovascular function and it should be appropriately dealt with.

There are some natural ways to quickly and effectively lower high blood pressure and doing regular exercise is one of the best of them. Here are some simple and easy exercises to lower blood pressure and improve your body’s overall function.

Go for a walk

A quick and easy exercise that can help you reduce your blood pressure effectively and in just a week is brisk walking. According to a Prevention article from 2011, people with high blood pressure that do walking “at a brisk pace lowered pressure by almost 8mmhg”. This is a considerable amount and can be achieved by walking at a brisk pace for just 30 minutes a day at least five times a week.

The article explains that this sort of exercise will force the heart to use oxygen more effectively and thus it won’t need to work as hard to get the blood moving. Try taking a brisk walk to the supermarket, for instance, or even walk to work at times if you can. You should try changing your pace and route distance to keep yourself motivated.

Do other aerobic exercises

You can use other aerobic exercises to lower blood pressure, and an aerobic exercise can be anything that just makes your heart rate go up and makes you breathe faster, just like brisk walking. There are other simple things you can do to get aerobic exercise every day. A Mayo Clinic article from 2012 recommends that you try:

* Making household chores an exercise routine. This way, you get to clean the house and also exercise to lower blood pressure at the same time. Mop the floor at a brisk pace. And you can try to do a few jumps between dusting the bookshelves, for example.
