Suggestion: You can exercise moderately at ordinary times, such as cycling, brisk walking, playing badminton and Tai Ji Chuan.
As the saying goes, life lies in exercise. This sentence is not unreasonable. Exercise can strengthen the body when you are not sick, and proper exercise can promote treatment when you are sick. Patients with hypertension should also do some proper exercise to lower their blood pressure. So what are the exercises suitable for patients with hypertension? This is something that many people don't quite understand. Let me introduce you.
What exercise helps to lower blood pressure?
For patients with hypertension, the best exercise is aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is the whole exercise process, and the consumed oxygen is supplied by the body's aerobic metabolism. There are many aerobic exercises, such as walking, jogging, swimming, cycling and aerobic exercise.
Walking is the most traditional way to keep fit. There is a saying that it is better to practice than to do it. This is mainly because the walking time can be freely mastered, and the walking speed and distance can be easily adjusted according to their actual situation, so it is suitable for all ages.
But many people need to pay attention to the way they walk. When some old people walk in the morning, they put their hands behind their backs, walk with square steps and look at the ground. In fact, this method can be used as a leisure walk, but there is a problem in fitness. Because the center of gravity is forward, it is easy to fall. The correct way is to relax, look straight ahead, hold your head high and breathe calmly. For people who are old and weak and whose blood pressure fluctuates easily, walk about 60 to 70 steps a minute; For people with stable blood pressure who want to keep their posture, they can strut 90 ~ 100 steps per minute.
Many old people like to go backwards, but 95% of them are wrong, not backwards but backwards. So how should I go backwards? It should be that the toes, heels and soles of the feet landed successively, and the hips were loosened, instead of all the soles of the feet landing at once. Relax your hips and keep your spine stable and flexible. In ancient times, there was a backward step technique, which was very good for the body.
Besides exercise, there are also some health massages that are very effective. For example, many patients with hypertension can't sleep, so you can try the massage method of rubbing Yongquan point. Soak your feet in warm water for 5 ~ 10 minutes. After drying your feet, rub Yongquan point in your foot for 36 times. When rubbing, inhale and exhale slowly and rhythmically, and gradually relax. This method is very helpful to sleep.
Presumably now everyone knows what exercise is suitable for patients with hypertension! Doing some aerobic exercise helps to lower blood pressure. However, everyone should also grasp the amount of exercise, and don't rush into it and cause excessive exercise to have a negative effect on the body.
