50s Kang Su-ji, after doing 'this' for a month, her blood pressure returned to normal... What was the secret?

I also regularly walk, so I should try walking a bit faster.

Meal management is also essential.

It's useful information, so I think it would be good to review and refer to it~

Singer Kang Su-ji (57) revealed her secret to overcoming pre-hypertension.

On the 10th, the YouTube channel "Kang Suji TV Living, Loving, Acting" posted a video titled "From Health Expert Professor Jung Hee-won's Latte(?) to the Present." In this video, Kang Suji was talking with Professor Jung Hee-won about walking exercise when she said, "Was it three years ago? I was in pre-hypertension. So I did aerobic exercise every day for three years," and "I walked briskly around the neighborhood for about an hour each time. As a result, my blood pressure returned to normal." Does aerobic exercise help manage blood pressure?

Regular aerobic exercise such as walking helps prevent increases in blood pressure. According to a research team at the National Institute of Health and Welfare, part of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, engaging in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week (enough to cause sweating or shortness of breath but still able to converse with others) significantly reduces the incidence of hypertension by about 31% in men and about 35% in women. When exercise begins, adrenaline is secreted, causing blood vessels to constrict in the digestive system. This temporarily raises blood pressure, but continued exercise leads to the secretion of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which lowers blood pressure again.

There is research indicating that walking for 30 minutes in the morning can effectively lower blood pressure. Researchers from the University of Western Australia and other institutions divided 67 participants aged 55 to 80 into three groups. All participants were required to sit for 7 to 8 hours a day and perform three different conditions. The conditions were: 1) sitting without exercise, 2) walking for 30 minutes in the morning and then sitting, and 3) walking for 30 minutes in the morning, then every 30 minutes getting up and walking for 3 minutes. As a result, the group that walked for 30 minutes in the morning experienced an average blood pressure reduction of 3.4 mmHg. The group that walked in the morning and then got up to walk for 3 minutes every 30 minutes saw their blood pressure decrease by an additional 1.7 mmHg, totaling a reduction of 5.1 mmHg.

Meanwhile, hypertension is a chronic disease with no cure, but maintaining a normal health condition is possible by improving daily lifestyle habits. Exercise and diet are also important. Consume less fried or greasy meats and eat plenty of blue fish and nuts. If you have been prescribed antihypertensive medication, you must take it consistently according to the instructions. If symptoms improve and the patient stops taking the medication arbitrarily, blood pressure may rise again.
