Hypertension-How Exercise Helps

Exercise And The Causes Of Hypertension:

Many of the factors (some call causes) of Hypertension (high blood pressure) are interrelated, defying a single treatment.  These factors tend to increase blood pressure:  Too much weight,  Caffeine drinks, alcoholism, high cholesterol, smoking, Diabetes and Stress.  You can get prescriptions to control many of these factors along with the blood pressure, but all medicines have a downside (harmful side effects).  Always follow your doctor's advice, but always ask if there are things you can do, short of taking another pill.   Anything you can do to reduce or eliminate the need for those drugs is good.  That's where exercise comes in.  For more information on the signs, symptoms, causes and treatment of high blood pressure, see What Is Hypertension.

Note: I've taken Hypertension and cholesterol medicines for more than 5 years.  Using diet, exercise, and nutrition, I've managed my Diabetes without meds.  If I meet my goals this year, these medicines will become a thing of the past.  Glen 

How Exercise Helps Control Hypertension:

If you have Hypertension, before starting an exercise program, see your doctor to discuss your plans.  Aerobic exercise is the best, but you must start very slow and increase gradually.  Exercise helps control Hypertension in these ways:
1.  Exercise increases blood flow and capacity to handle increased demand for blood.
2.  Exercise reduces fats and cholesterol in the blood.
3.  Exercise helps reduce weight.
4.  Exercise reduces stress (by producing a relaxing hormone).
5.  Exercise helps control Diabetes, by burning blood fats and sugars.   

Complete Healing:

We both know there are no guaranteed cures, whether in medicine, nutrition, herbs or anything else.  Complete healing...including mind, body and spirit...is possible, from God.  If you want God's help with your health problem, go to Healing From God.
