Recent studies have shown that practicing a specific type of exercise may be the best way to reduce blood pressure quickly and safely, she said.CNN“.
A study published Tuesday in the British Journal of Sports Medicine revealed that exercises that engage muscles without movement may be the best way to lower blood pressure.
This type of exercise is known as isometric or static exercise, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Isometric exercises can be done with or without weights, based on your “body weight” only.
Dr. Jamie O’Driscoll, co-author of the study, said isometric training is the most effective method for “lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.”
“Systolic” blood pressure measures the maximum pressure in the arteries as the heart contracts and relaxes, while “diastolic” refers to the arterial blood pressure when the heart relaxes between beats, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the study, performing squats on the wall, “isometric exercise”, was more effective in reducing systolic pressure, and running, “aerobic exercise” was more useful for reducing diastolic pressure, but “isometric exercise” was better for reducing both components of pressure in general.
According to the guidelines issued by the World Health Organization, people should do 150 minutes of “moderate intensity” exercise per week, which includes two strength-training sessions.
