00:00Think your daily jog is the best way to lower blood pressure?
00:03Think again!
00:04A new study has revealed a 12-minute workout
00:07that rivals medication in reducing blood pressure.
00:10Over a massive 2023 analysis of nearly 16,000 adults,
00:14researchers compared the effects of different types of exercise,
00:18from jogging to lifting weights.
00:20And guess what came out on top?
00:22Not running, not cycling, but isometric exercises.
00:26These are workouts where your muscles stay still,
00:29like wall sits or planks.
00:31One type, the wall squat, lowered blood pressure
00:34by over 8 points systolic and 4 points diastolic,
00:37just like medication would.
00:39That kind of drop can slash your risk of a heart attack or stroke
00:42by up to 22%.
00:44The science?
00:45When you squeeze your muscles in place, blood flow is reduced.
00:49But when you release, your vessels expand,
00:52improving circulation and lowering pressure for hours.
00:55And the best part?
00:57You only need 12 minutes, 3 times a week.
00:59So if your blood pressure is creeping up,
01:01maybe skip the treadmill and hit the wall instead.
01:04Your heart just might thank you.
01:06My heart of my heart is meine blood pressure.
01:08My heart of my heart is not very painful.
01:09Your heart is a heart of my heart.
01:10You have a body of mood.
01:11I have a church.
01:12I love you.
01:13I love you.
01:14I love you.
01:15You are a pastor.
01:16My heart of your heart is just a kid or you are a Christian.
01:17I love you.
01:18You are a Christian.
