Adding 5 minutes of exercise to your day could be helpful in lowering blood pressure, a study found. But you may need to do more than walk a few steps, experts say.

An addition of five minutes of exercise-like activity a day is associated with slightly lower blood pressure, the study published in Circulation said.

As little as five minutes a day of moderate-to-vigorous exercise may help lower blood pressure, a new study suggests. While five minutes is the minimum amount to see any change in blood pressure, 10 or 20 minutes may be enough to see clinically meaningful improvements.

Five minutes of exercise a day is enough to lower blood pressure, a study has found. Exercise has long been known to benefit people with high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, and it also lowers the risk of developing the condition.

A new study shows an extra 5 minutes of daily vigorous exercise helps control hypertension. The findings become more significant with an extra 10 and 20 minutes of heart-pumping physical activity each day.

Plus, vigorously exercising for 27 minutes a day may even reduce heart disease risk by 28%. Reviewed by Dietitian Jessica Ball, M.S., RD While we’re all familiar with having our blood pressure taken,

Recent research indicates that even small increases in physical activity, such as five minutes of uphill walking or stair-climbing daily, can significantly lower blood pressure. Findings from the inte

The finding that doing as little as five extra minutes of exercise per day could be associated with measurably lower blood pressure readings emphasises how powerful short bouts o

People who get short bursts of exercise from stair climbing or cycling are among those who benefit, international research finds.
