Just search the Internet for content about high blood pressure, and you will find that most health care articles emphasize the word "exercise".

  In these contents, exercise is endowed with an extremely magical color, which can not only prevent high blood pressure, but also control high blood pressure. Some people even say that with long-term walking exercises, blood pressure can return from 180 to normal.

  In fact, it is not a new thing that exercise can lower blood pressure. In 2017, China released guidelines for the prevention and treatment of high blood pressure. Experts clearly pointed out that adults should do physical exercise 5-7 times a week and insist on 30 minutes each time. More than one minute of moderate-intensity exercise can reduce systolic blood pressure by about 4-9mmhg .

  Not only that, but a research report was released on the American College of Cardiology and the World Congress of Cardiology, which was conducted on 638 participants.

  According to the requirements, they need to wear the watch for at least 5 hours a day for at least 30 days, and upload at least 3 blood pressure readings. After an average of 280 days of follow-up surveys, it was shown that for every 1,000 steps more walked, the subjects' blood pressure would drop by 0.45mmhg. Not only that, but the blood pressure of the participants will gradually decrease as the number of steps increases. The more steps you walk, the faster the blood pressure will drop.

  It is also influenced by these experiments and research investigations that many people directly equate walking with lowering blood pressure. Even blindly believe that just walking can have the effect of treating high blood pressure. But is that really the case? wrong!

  First of all, everyone must be clear that hypertension is clinically divided into two categories: primary hypertension and secondary hypertension . Among the nearly 300 million hypertensive patients in China, 90-95% are patients with primary hypertension . That is, based on the current medical technology and level, it is impossible to clarify the specific cause of hypertension in patients , and so far, there is no way to completely cure hypertension.

  That is to say, once hypertension occurs, the patient may be in a state of long-term or even life-long illness . As far as the current clinical technology is concerned, the treatment of hypertension mainly relies on various antihypertensive drugs . After they enter the body, they can effectively control blood pressure, thereby reducing the possibility of various hypertensive complications in the future.

  However, hypertension is a disease that requires comprehensive treatment and control, because it is long-term, even lifelong . Taking antihypertensive drugs is only the basis for lowering blood pressure. Patients also need to make auxiliary adjustments in three aspects: life, diet, and exercise .

  In the simplest terms, exercise itself cannot treat high blood pressure. For people who do not have high blood pressure , exercise can have a preventive effect , but patients who have already developed diseases can only receive comprehensive treatment.

  It is difficult to control and stabilize blood pressure simply by walking and exercising. Therefore, any treatment related to high blood pressure is actually based on medication . Therefore, everyone should clarify the correlation between high blood pressure and exercise, and then start physical exercise.

  Finally, it needs to be emphasized that since every hypertensive patient is different in age and physical fitness, we should not be too demanding on the embedded end of exercise.

  From a clinical point of view, hypertensive patients walk for 30 minutes a day, about 6,000 steps each time, and do physical exercise 3-5 times a week. If the physical fitness is too poor, it is necessary to reduce the exercise intensity on this basis, so as not to be counterproductive.
