That's good to do, but by far the #1 thing for high blood pressure is exercise. A consistent schedule of intense cardio is probably the best single thing you can do for your health in general, and definitely for hypertension.
- Loughla 2y agoI was diagnosed with hypertension when I was 30. So I started cardio and diet change and all that. No difference in my BP. So Fuck all that running nonsense. Granted, n=1.
- tomtheelder 2y agoExercise is a fantastic idea, and the cardioprotective benefits are doubly important for those of us with hypertension, but it’s probably not going to lower your BP by more than a few points.
