Simple exercise with a towel will help lower blood pressure

Neurologist Janet Pitts told about the exercise with a regular towel, which, according to her, can reduce blood pressure by about seven points. It does not require special sports equipment. The Daily Mirror reports.

The doctor advises to roll the towel into a tight tourniquet and squeeze it with your hand for about two minutes, applying about 30% of the maximum effort. Then you should rest for a minute and repeat the exercise three more times, alternating hands.

This load Pitts refers to isometric exercises. During their performance, the muscles remain tense without active movement, and after relaxation, changes occur that can contribute to a temporary decrease in pressure.

According to the expert, the effect of the exercise comes quite quickly, but it does not last long. People with high blood pressure Pitts recommends to give this load for eight minutes at least three times a week.
