When
wanting to lower your blood pressure, exercise is one of the best ways
to achieve it along with a few others. But the truth about which types
are more beneficial may surprise you. Let's take a closer look.
Why Is Exercise Beneficial?
When
you exercise, your heart rate increases and blood pumps through the
body harder and faster to give the muscles and the organs the blood
supply and nutrients within that they need.
So actually the pressure your arterial walls increases and therefore your blood pressure goes up, albeit temporarily.
But
what happens even in the short term as well as the long term is that
when you are at rest your blood pressure is lower. This is because
exercise keeps the walls of the arteries very flexible and supple and
prevents them constricting - all of which lead to lower blood pressure.
What Type Of Exercise Is Beneficial?
Studies
have shown that moderate rather than heavy exercise actually has a
better blood pressure lowering ability. So you most certainly do not
need to become a bodybuilder or a distance runner or a Lance Armstrong
to get the benefits you need.
Not Just Exercise
It
is not just exercise that you need to look at to reduce your blood
pressure. In fact there are three key areas and most people need to
address them all to reduce their blood pressure to a healthy value like
115/75 without drugs.
The other two are diet and stress. But
again, only small changes need to be made. For example, there are some
supplements and small dietary changes that can EACH have an effect of
lowering b.p. by 10/5. Just a few changes and you can be healthy once
more.
You can eliminate your worries about dying from stroke or
heart attack by following my easy, structured plan for completely
natural lowering of blood pressure. Discover why the truth about
lowering your b.p. is that it is easier than you think here: Blood Pressure Truth.
