Recent research indicates that even small increases in physical activity, such as five minutes of uphill walking or stair-climbing daily, can significantly lower blood pressure. Findings from the inte

According to the study, these five extra minutes are especially impactful for people who already have slightly elevated blood pressure, often called prehypertension. By adding a little more physical activity in each day, people in this range could potentially avoid needing medications or further interventions.

Short bouts of higher-intensity exercise were found to make "clinically meaningful" improvements in blood pressure, according to a new study published in the journal Circulation.

A study from UCL and the University of Sydney reveals that minor daily exercises, like stair climbing, may lower blood pressure. Replacing just five minutes of inactivity with movement showed potential for reducing hypertension-related risks,

Plus, vigorously exercising for 27 minutes a day may even reduce heart disease risk by 28%. Reviewed by Dietitian Jessica Ball, M.S., RD While we’re all familiar with having our blood pressure taken,

The finding that doing as little as five extra minutes of exercise per day could be associated with measurably lower blood pressure readings emphasises how powerful short bouts o

Five minutes of exercise a day is enough to lower blood pressure, a study has found. Exercise has long been known to benefit people with high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, and it also lowers the risk of developing the condition.

People who get short bursts of exercise from stair climbing or cycling are among those who benefit, international research finds.

Adding short bursts of exercise to your daily routine, such as cycling to the shops for 15 minutes or taking the stairs, lowers blood pressure, a study has found.Increasing exercise habits – in exchange,
