🩺Regular exercise can help manage high blood pressure and reduce it by 5-10 mmHg, similar to some medications.
💪Focus on aerobic exercises like walking, cycling, or swimming for at least 15 minutes, three times a week.
🌡️Avoid vigorous exercises if your blood pressure exceeds the threshold of 160/100 mmHg. Seek medical advice for severe hypertension (180/120 mmHg or higher).
🏋️Use moderate weights that allow you to do 10-15 repetitions comfortably, avoiding heavy lifting above your head to prevent increasing blood pressure.
💨Breathe correctly during resistance training to prevent sudden increases in blood pressure. Exhale during exertion and inhale during relaxation.
