A member asked:
Is any scientific explanation why cardio is really good for hbp people like me?sorry for my maybe crazy question.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES!: There are several beneficial consequences of aerobic activity. Circulation is actually expanded to the musculature, essentially enlarging the vascular bed, training arteries to dilate more appropriately, and thus lowering pressure. The function of heart and lungs also becomes more efficient, providing better oxygenation and perfusion, and also lowering pressure. See your doc for an exercise plan.
