Many studies have shown that regular physical activity can help with high blood pressure. Various types of exercise such as walking, jogging, cycling, and swimming have proven to lower blood pressure. Daily walking at a brisk pace for two miles has been shown to lower blood pressure in postmenopausal women. Some women have even shown a return to normal blood pressure.
Increasing your activity and exercise may be all that’s needed to lower your blood pressure. Sometimes medications are also needed. A physician is the best one to evaluate and advise you.
