systolic blood pressure and it is the lower diastolic, when the heart
relaxes. In numerical terms you have high blood pressure when your

above 80 mmHg. It is the nervous nineties, as far as the American
statistics go.
It is estimated that with the
current life standards adopted by Americans in the mad rat race of
modern world, they are becoming more and more ignorant of their
lifestyle habits, especially the eating habits. That means, soon 90 % of

drugs that are most suitable to you, from the point of the latest
medical standards. Whether he would be able to solve your blood pressure
problems on a permanent basis is another thing.

studies and an article published in Medicine & Science in Sports and
Exercise, August 2005 issue, it has been observed that on the first day
of exercise itself there is change in the level of your blood pressure.

and if you are doing exercise for the first time in decades, the
vigorous exercise may take you to the doorstep of heart attack.
In
the given conditions, that is, if you are a blood pressure patient,
better start your exercise schedule in consultation with a personal
trainer. It is better for you to join a health club, where you get to
know the various types of exercises and you can also interact with many

How does the
process of exercise help you in controlling the blood pressure? When you
are a blood pressure patient it means that the metabolism is not perfect
within your body. The heart is unable to pump the blood properly and
even circulation is hampered. Some parts do not get the proper blood
supply. The toxins are cleared from the blood stream. Unhealthy diet and
inactivity are the most highlighted factors that play the role in
destroying the health.
So improving lifestyles
is of utmost importance. If your diet and exercise part of it taken care
of, you have solved the major part of the problem. Beyond the exercise
level, that is to say the physical level, your mental level also counts
a lot. Your anxieties and worries, joy and fears have something to do
with the state of your health. But the physical exercise part is of
utmost importance.
Along with the eats, what you should not do is
also important. It is better for you to give up smoking and alcohol.
