Yes, exercise can help lower your blood pressure.

Studies have shown that if you have high blood pressure, exercising more can help lower your blood pressure. Doctors recommend that you do at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of exercise every week. This can be broken up however you’d like. For example, you could exercise for 30 minutes, 5 days each week. Or you could do 1 hour, 3 days each week. Whatever works best for you.

Even though exercise can help lower your blood pressure, these changes don’t happen overnight. It can take weeks or even months to see results.

Doctors also recommend combining exercise with a healthy diet to help lower blood pressure. Both of these things can help you lose weight, which also helps with your blood pressure.

Exercise is great for your body and heart, and that can bring down your blood pressure in part!
