May is High Blood Pressure Education Month. Physical activity is one of the most critical steps to prevent or control high blood pressure. The National High Blood Pressure Education Program (NHBPEP), established in 1972, cooperates with professional and voluntary health agencies, state health departments, and many community groups. The NHBPEP is administered and coordinated by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). The goal of the NHBPEP is to reduce death and disability related to high blood pressure through professional, patient, and public education programs.
Activities you already do, such as gardening, spring cleaning and painting, mowing the lawn, raking leaves, playing with young children, and walking, can improve your heart health.
All you need are 30 minutes at most, preferably daily. You can even divide it up if you exercise at least ten minutes each time.
For more information on high blood pressure and moderate activities to help you control it, visit the NHLBI at http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/hbp/index.html
