Another way to help lower your high blood pressure is to exercise regularly. Most experts recommend doing at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, between five to six days a week. But they also warn that consistency is key, since stopping exercising will usually make your blood pressure rise again. Some exercise ideas include walking, jogging, running, swimming, dancing, cycling, strength training, and many more. Depending on your current physical abilities, it’s important to speak to your doctor about what types of exercise and how much you can do per week as to not cause undue stress to your heart.
