Healthy Heart Tip #1: Lower Blood Pressure
High blood pressure results from stiff, inflexible arteries. Exercise boosts blood circulation by up to 25%, encouraging blood vessels to expand slightly and become more flexible. |
Nitric oxide is also produced which relaxes and widens blood vessels.
Both aerobic and strength training can lower blood pressure. Those with over 130/80 mmHg can see between 5 and 7 points in systolic pressure, which is similar to the reduction people experience from taking a blood pressure drug!
