Regular exercise makes the heart’s muscles more developed, making it easier to meet the demand for blood supply throughout the body, thereby reducing arterial pressure and lowering blood pressure. Exercise can lower systolic blood pressure (commonly referred to as “high pressure”) by about 4-9 mmHg, which is similar to the effect of some antihypertensive drugs. For blood pressure that is already normal (less than 120/80mmHg), exercise can help maintain this healthy state and not increase with age. In addition to this, regular exercise can help maintain weight, which is important for blood pressure control. We don’t need to spend a lot of time in the gym every day, or become athletic all of a sudden. We just need to spend some time each day to schedule some exercise and it will do wonders for blood pressure control. 1. Plan based on medical advice It is important to have a physical assessment and seek medical advice before making an exercise plan. High blood pressure with the following conditions, you need to go to the doctor’s advice: overweight or obese; suffering from acute and chronic diseases of the heart and lungs; walking with chest discomfort or dizziness and other symptoms; close relatives with heart disease before the age of 55; taking other drugs; smoking; uncertainty about their own health. 2, avoid two blood pressure peaks Exercise time to try to avoid two blood pressure peaks, one is the first few hours after waking up (6-9 am), and the other is 4-6 pm. In particular, a peak time in the morning is the highest incidence of cardiovascular disease, especially need to avoid. We can monitor our blood pressure at multiple points in the day and choose our appropriate time period for exercise. 3, moderate control of exercise intensity Exercise intensity should be appropriate, each exercise intensity maintained for several days or 1-2 weeks before gradually increasing the intensity of exercise. The entire exercise process to breathe naturally and easily, especially weight training can not hold your breath, holding your breath will lead to a sudden rise in blood pressure. 4, monitor blood pressure changes in the exercise before measuring blood pressure, avoid high blood pressure in the case of exercise, at least one hour after exercise and then monitor blood pressure changes. 5, pay attention to the prevention of sports injuries Pay attention to the correct posture to avoid sports injuries. Pay attention to the warm-up before exercise, after exercise to have relaxation exercises. 6, the occurrence of accidents in a timely manner to discontinue exercise The following conditions occur during exercise, you must promptly discontinue exercise and seek medical help nearby: chest pain or chest tightness, dizziness or fainting, arm or jaw pain, obvious shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, excessive fatigue. It’s a constant battle The development of a good habit requires at least some time of persistence. For young hypertensive patients, exercise should not start out as much or as fast as you like. You can choose the easiest jogging or brisk walking as a start, and then gradually add more enriching forms of exercise after you have developed a habit. Maintaining the ideal blood pressure is a long-term process, and the only way to keep it stable is to develop good exercise habits and keep exercising. If you stop exercising for two weeks, your strength will begin to decline; after several months of stopping, the effect of exercise on blood pressure control will also disappear.
