Summary:
- A new study found that just 3-5 minutes of exercise can help reduce high blood pressure in adults.
- The study involved 65 adults with high blood pressure who performed brief bursts of exercise, such as squats or knee raises, for 3-5 minutes. After the short exercise sessions, participants experienced a significant drop in blood pressure that lasted for several hours.
- The researchers suggest that these short bouts of exercise could be an effective way for people with high blood pressure to manage their condition without the need for medication.
