Relax and Enjoy Exercise to Have a Healty Heart
It seems everyday we are faced with hearing about our friends who have high blood pressure. Readings ranging from 120/60 to 139/89 signify pre-hypertension; 140/90 and above is considered hypertension. When you have high blood pressure (hypertension) your heart has to work harder to pump, which can thicken heart muscle and slow down blood flow, increasing your risk of heart disease. The good news is that losing extra pounds through diet and exercise will help your heart expend less effort and lower your blood pressure. In one study, people who exercised just 60 to 90 minutes a week reduced their numbers an average of 12 points after only two months. Exercise with friends and keep a food diary to stay on focus for your healthy goals. Without exercise you will shorten your life and miss all the joy!
