High blood pressure and exercise

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND EXERCISE
Strenuous exercises, such as weight lifting and competitive sports, are not advised for sufferers of high blood pressure. They may do more harm than good. But this does not mean that you should resign yourself to a sedentary existence and lie in bed. Quite to the contrary! You should exercise as much as possible. And the best form of exercise for a patient with high blood pressure or heart disease is walking accompanied by deep breathing.
Start on level ground and walk slowly for half an hour. Develop a regular breathing pattern. For example, inhale deeply during four steps and exhale during the next six steps. Do this for two to three minutes. After five or ten minutes, repeat the deep breathing again. Breathe as deeply as you can so that all parts of your lungs will be filled with life-giving oxygen-rich air. Also, see that the lungs are completely emptied every time you exhale.
Gradually increase your walking distance each day. If you feel fatigued, take a short rest. Gradually you will be able to walk over a steep landscape without difficulty and increase the duration of your walks up to two or three hours a day.
These walks and breathing exercises will be of great help in lowering your high blood pressure and strengthening your heart. They will stimulate and improve blood circulation, increase the capacity of your lungs, accelerate the general metabolism and increase the elimination of toxins and wastes from your system. All this will have a very favorable effect on reducing blood pressure.
