Regular aerobic exercise significantly improves cardiac function and reduces blood pressure in patients with cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
If you have high blood pressure or heart issues, start with moderate aerobic exercise like brisk walking or cycling. Aim for 3-5 days a week, doing 20-60 minutes at a time. Keep the intensity at 50-80% of what you can tolerate. This routine can lower your blood pressure by 5-17 mmHg, which is comparable to some medications. Always consult your doctor before starting.
