Cardiologists increasingly agree that lifestyle changes help lower blood pressure no worse than medications, so the therapeutic effect of exercise is not surprising here, Ukr.Media reports.
So, the most useful for hypertensive patients are recognized as:
- Walking,
- Run,
- Swimming,
- Cycling.
In the early stages of hypertension, these exercises may be even more effective than taking medication. Exercise should be done for about 30 minutes daily or at least 5 times a week. And to achieve an even better effect, it is important to give up bad habits, review your diet and normalize your weight (if you are overweight).
Important: Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program.
