This is similar to reductions achieved via drug therapy. Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury, which scientists shorten to mmHg. The two components of blood pressure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, are considered acceptable when they are under 140 mmHg and 90 mmHg respectively. The average blood pressure of healthy adults is about 120 mmHG for systolic pressure blood pressure and 80 mmHG for diastolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is always higher, since it is the pressure created during the pumping of the blood by the heart.
Diastolic pressure refers to the pressure between pumpings and is therefore lower.
When the systolic pressure exceeds 140 mmHg, people have a much higher risk of developing coronary heart disease and stroke. Participate in aerobic exercise. In the studies reviewed by Fagard and Tipton, aerobic exercise such as walking, jogging and bicycling was responsible for the reductions in blood pressure. Exercise every day. Two studies indicate that the fall in blood pressure is slightly greater when participants exercise everyday as opposed to three times a week.
