Recent research indicates that even small increases in physical activity, such as five minutes of uphill walking or stair-climbing daily, can significantly lower blood pressure. Findings from the inte

People who get short bursts of exercise from stair climbing or cycling are among those who benefit, international research finds.

Adding just five minutes of activity a day could lower systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) by 0.68 points and diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) by 0.54 points, researchers said.

Running a marathon or deadlifting 350 pounds is great but may not be necessary. New research suggests that adding even small amounts of physical activity,

Replacing sitting with 5 minutes of physical activity or 20-27 minutes of moderate exercise daily can significantly reduce blood pressure.

Short bouts of higher-intensity exercise were found to make "clinically meaningful" improvements in blood pressure, according to a new study published in the journal Circulation.

Plus, vigorously exercising for 27 minutes a day may even reduce heart disease risk by 28%. Reviewed by Dietitian Jessica Ball, M.S., RD While we’re all familiar with having our blood pressure taken,

The finding that doing as little as five extra minutes of exercise per day could be associated with measurably lower blood pressure readings emphasises how powerful short bouts o

Five minutes of exercise a day is enough to lower blood pressure, a study has found. Exercise has long been known to benefit people with high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, and it also lowers the risk of developing the condition.
