Exercise and Hypertension

Okay, so MANY Americans suffer from hypertension, a fancy way of saying high blood pressure.

Most are medication dependent and are on a strict diet to make their lives as "normal" as possible.

What most don't know about or are unwilling to try is exercise.

Regular exercise can decrease your blood pressure by 75%! That's huge!

With a decrease of 75%, most people would be able to greatly decrease the amount of medications they're on or even get off of them all together!

 

Did you know that heart disease is a huge risk factor of hypertension?

Over half a million people die from heart disease every year! That's one in four people!

Everyone pushes for people to stop smoking or drinking because of the health risks, and rightfully so, but shouldn't everyone also be pushing for people to exercise? It kills 25% of people! Much higher than smokers or drinkers!

 

Who has a higher risk of heart disease?

Men. Men have a 52% higher chance of heart disease from living an inactive lifestyle compared the women at 28%. All of that from lack of exercise.

 

What is "regular exercise"?

For most healthy adults, regular exercise is defined as 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic exercise such as walking or swimming and strength training at least twice a week. 

Those guidelines don't define everyone, you must talk to your doctor of healthcare professional to find out what's right for you.
