Exercise Regularly
According to research, both aerobic and resistance training can help prevent or control blood pressure, and the hours following a workout may see a reduction in blood pressure.
Regular exercise entails a regular increase in respiration and heart rate. Your heart gets stronger with time and pumps more easily. This decreases your blood pressure and relieves pressure on your arteries.
At least 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity activity each week, or roughly 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, is recommended by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [3]. The CDC recommends 1 hour of exercise every day for kids and teenagers.
Here are some suggestions for improving your activity level:
- taking the stairs
- walking instead of driving
- performing chores around the house
- gardening
- playing a team sports
- going for a bike ride
