Millions of people suffer from high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It has been called the silent killer because in most cases there are no symptoms. Thousands of people suffer from heart attacks and strokes each year because they don't monitor their blood pressure on a regular basis. Getting an annual checkup is great but it's not enough if you suffer from high blood pressure and want to take control of it. Diet and exercise are crucial to maintain a healthy blood pressure level. I know there are plenty of people out there who don't enjoy exercising because they feel they don't have the time with their busy schedule, they don't want to join a gym and pay for a gym membership knowing they won't be able to get there enough to benefit from it, or various other reasons.
You'll be happy to know that Yoga has been proven to help people reduce their blood pressure levels and it will cost you nothing other than a yoga mat (optional) to get started. By practicing a few poses each day you should be able to see results within 4 or 5 weeks. There are great online resources to find out which poses are best suited for you. If Yoga is something you're interested in pursuing to help you lower your blood pressure my advice is to do an online search for "yoga and blood pressure". Because so many Yoga practitioners and authors offer different advice on what is best it's good to read several articles to get an idea of the different Yoga programs that are out there. We all have different time constraints, physical limitations, and so on so it is extremely important to start a program that is best suited for your individual needs. I will say that I have done Yoga in the past and I truly enjoy it. I find it to be very relaxing and it really helped me reduce my stress. Even if you don't suffer from high blood pressure there are so many benefits of Yoga that it is worth looking into.
