If you keep walking every day, will your blood pressure drop? How are the two related? The article gives you the answer

Do a casual search on the Internet about high blood pressure, and you will find that most health care articles emphasize the word "exercise".

　　In these contents, exercise is endowed with extremely magical color, it can not only prevent high blood pressure, but also have the effect of controlling high blood pressure. Some people even say that with long-term walking and exercise, blood pressure can return to normal levels from 180.

　　In fact, it is nothing new that exercise can lower blood pressure. In 2017, China issued guidelines for the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Experts clearly pointed out that adults should do physical exercise 5-7 times a week, and adhere to 30 times each time. More than a minute of moderate-intensity exercise can reduce systolic blood pressure by about 4-9mmhg .

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

　　They were required 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 , the subjects' blood pressure dropped by 0.45 mmhg for every 1,000 extra steps they walked. Not only that, but the participants' blood pressure gradually decreased as the number of steps increased, and the more steps they walked, the faster the blood pressure 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 as long as walking can play a role in the treatment of high blood pressure. But is this really the case? wrong!

　　First of all, we must make it clear that hypertension is clinically divided into two categories: primary and secondary hypertension . Among the nearly 300 million hypertensive patients in China, 90-95% belong to primary hypertension . That is to say, 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.

　　This means that once high blood pressure occurs, the patient may be in a state of long-term or even lifelong disease . 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 hypertension complications in the future.

　　However, hypertension is a disease that requires comprehensive treatment and control because it is long-term or even life-long . Taking antihypertensive drugs is only the basis for lowering blood pressure, and patients also need to adjust through three aspects of 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 play a preventive effect , but patients who have developed the disease can only receive comprehensive treatment.

　　It is difficult to stabilize blood pressure by simply relying on walking. Therefore, any conditioning on hypertension is actually based on medication . Therefore, everyone should be clear about the relationship between high blood pressure and exercise, and then start physical exercise.

　　Finally, it needs to be emphasized that since each hypertensive patient has different ages and physical qualities, it is not 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 backfire.
