British GP Martin Skerr said limiting salt intake and doing aerobic exercise could help lower blood pressure without using drugs. In this respect reports Daily Mail edition.
The therapist noted that normal blood pressure ranges from 90/50 to 120/80 millimeters of mercury. The first number, systolic blood pressure, reflects the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts. The second, diastolic, characterizes the pressure in the interval between oscillations of the artery walls.
Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) should always include non-drug measures as well as medications. Some studies have shown that reducing your daily salt intake can normalize your blood pressure. The fact is that salt forces the body to retain water, which leads to an increase in the total volume of blood in the vessels and increased pressure on their walls.
Another non-drug way to lower blood pressure is to do regular aerobic exercise. The load in which the body uses oxygen as an energy source is called aerobic. Your heart rate increases during this exercise. As a result of such exercises, the cardiovascular system is strengthened. Skerr added that regular aerobic exercise can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 4-6 and 3 millimeters of mercury, respectively.
