A Morning Walk, Less Sitting Can Lower Blood Pressure for Hours


Middle-aged and older adults with excess weight or obesity can improve their blood pressure (BP), and therefore their cardiovascular health, simply by walking briskly for a half hour in the morning because the benefit is sustained for several hours, a small study suggests.
Moreover, in women only, following the morning walk with regular interruptions in sitting — that is, 3 minutes of less intense walking breaks every half hour — resulted in an even lower average systolic blood pressure during an 8-hour test period.
The study in 67 sedentary adults 55 to 80 years of age, was published online February 20 in the journal Hypertension.
