Hypertension: a call to action

In the past few weeks I have presented information about hypertension and the effects of exercise and diet. Now it is up to you. Since hypertension is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, you can add years to your life by taking good care of yourself. It's really simple: exercise and eat a healthy diet most of the time. Although pharmacological treatments can also treat some BP conditions effectively, lifestyle modifications should also be implemented as soon as possible.

Both cardiovascular training and resistance training can lower high blood pressure. Aim for moderate intensity exercise performed for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week. Just yesterday we heard from the "Heart and Stroke" people that 1 in 3 Canadians will be affected by heart disease; the number 1 reason that people cited for not exercising was "not enough time". Let's find the time.
