✅ How Much Exercise Do You Really Need to Control Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a silent problem—but good news! You don't need a gym membership or intense workouts to manage it. Just a little daily movement can make a big difference. A recent study shows how much weekly exercise is actually needed to help control blood pressure naturally.
๐ What the Study Says
Researchers studied more than 5,000 adults from around the world—countries like Canada, Brazil, and Japan. They found that people who exercised at a moderate level for 150 minutes a week had better blood pressure than those who didn’t move much.
๐ฃ️ Dr. Elena Martinez, the lead researcher, says:
"Just 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week can help lower your blood pressure and protect your heart."
