3 Simple Exercises to Help Lower Blood Pressure!

[@mickeyfc1643]

Wonderful content. I like how these isometric exercises don’t require gym memberships and equipment, too!

[@thecookingdoc]

Thanks so much @mickeyfc1643 - so glad to hear this - being able to do them at home has really been useful for me as well.

[@irishmick6709]

Hey Doc! You showed us planks and stated a duration of 30 seconds - 2 minutes. I sometimes plank for up to 10 minutes at a time….will I get more benefit out of the longer duration, or not. I generally go longer as a discipline, but if it lowers BP even more, all the better! Thanks for the vid!

[@bnice8940]

Walking did wonders for me I walk everyday, rain or shine, from 30 minutes to an hour everyday. Thank you for sharing, Dr. Shusterman (Sandy)

[@thecookingdoc]

You are doing great work Sandy. Thank you for sharing about your journey. 😀

[@magvs_mæstro216]

You've just resparked my walking desire

[@bnice8940]

@@magvs_mæstro216 Good Morning: Start off gradually, Start walking for 10 minutes one week, then gradually increase walking time. It does wonders for weight loss and arthritis too. Walking has helped me lose 130 pounds. Good Luck! (Sandy) 😊😊

[@lucylee4213]

Has walking reduced your blood pressure? I walk regularly too - since the pandemic but it hasn't changed my blood pressure. I shall try these squats etc..

[@bnice8940]

@@lucylee4213 Yes, walking has helped me a great deal.

[@kat2878]

[@lucu01]

yep, i concur - i have super high hypertension (210/135) and these work really, really well - I guess my body is just over excited, needs a lot of calming down. And yes, I am on a course of bp reducing meds - it sits around 140/80 now.

[@MinatoNamikaze-so3ly]

How long does it remain lower after doing it? I also am on medication and still have high blood pressure.

[@yeskshrestha5750]

I am 61 Taking medicine since 15 year ago, and since 2 year I am doing plank 2 minute, squat 30 times and some other exercise and yoga, But I am afraid to say none of yoga and exercise work So I doubt My systolic pressure is sometime 180/160 And dilostic is 90/85 Does room jugging and meditation , breathing lower pressure?

[@yeskshrestha5750]

I never hear such number of pressure in my life, I am 60 Kindly tell me which medicine you are taking and which exercise you are doing and after doing exercise how long it take to reduce pressure, It will be helpful to all people what diet you are taking? Thanks for your time and advice

[@ptarlow7708]

I already do some yoga every morning and a walk or aerobic exercise every early evening. I will add these daily and see if they make a difference. I’m 83.

[@kc9242]

It worked, I was on a high reading streak, started these and it dropped dramatically, thank you!!!!

[@cellP8]

The wall sit?

[@gladiator22666]

[@siddiquechattun7759]

Thanks very much Dr.

[@ronaldworth4146]

Thanks Doc .!

[@ssa8479]

You need to squat lower, doc. Upper legs parallel to the floor, knee at right angle. After 30 seconds I can only groan. But in my mid 60s I can still do the Asian squat for a couple minutes.

[@OldMovieRob]

This was helpful, thanks

[@albachera90albachera51]

How long on wall sits and how long relax?

[@thecookingdoc]

You can vary the angle, time, etc. I would suggest slow and steady to begin and work your way to trying different positions.

[@TalmadgeDarden]

Awesome

[@debasishbiswas6961]

Very effective ❤

[@niamtxivpuavpheej2493]

[@andreahougland8634]

How long should we hold in each position.

[@megadwayne28]

I think 2min. And rest 2min also do 4 sets

[@rajorab5055]

How many times a week do I need to do these exercises to notice a drop in BP?

[@JackPeterson-n5o]

Question for the Doctor... How long, how often should one do the exercises for daily?

[@shondelljames3019]

How many mins should you do each exercise for?

[@John-f9q9y]

I am dying of high blood pressure. Year 2020 my bp was 270/150 Now 150/115. Nothing is helping me. I take nificard 30mg. My egfr 64 I need help

[@rebeccaandrew6455]

It does look like your blood pressure has come down significantly. That's more than 120 difference on the systolic reading. I changed my diet and have garlic and beetroot everyday. I try deep breathing (Adam Story on KZbin) and basic exercises. My blood pressure has come down but I'd like to get rid of my meds.

[@SOMUADHIKARY]

Deep breath and plank exercise help

[@mattkarres3321]

[@karolynann4106]

look up isometric hand grip exercises, they are among the exercises that are supposed to help lower blood pressure.

[@papaisaha9587]

Calcium channel blocker or Arbs which better for ckd?some nephrologist say Arbs harmful for kidney some say Arbs better than ccb...can ccb be also used in ckd with same benefit?...as patient we must feel confused n scared at this discrepancy of opinions of docs to a single patients same medical condition ...

[@charulatachandravanshi8932]

Is it for low bp problem or high bp problem

[@MrMixolydian7]

For high BP…do these to lower your high blood pressure

[@JackPeterson-n5o]

Always found walking or jogging difficult to fit into my schedule but this would be ideal hence my question

[@PushpinderNatt]

👍👍

[@sandistuddert6207]

How much time needs to be involved…. Total

[@thecookingdoc]

I would start by trying to do each one and holding it for between 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Start slow and then challenge yourself over time to try different positions like I show in the video.

[@joyamobi7590]

Struggling with my BP. Taking 10mg Amlodipine, 16mg Candersaten, 1.25mg of Bisoprolol and 4mg of Doxasosin. Also on 175mcg of Levothyroxine. My creatinine is 10.3mg/mmol. At my wits end and don't know what to do. Please help me as I want to reduce the number of meds I am on

[@junaidather3737]

I do regular and felling well

[@ManuelPineda-g6x]

I have White Coat syndrome when do we do the exercise several hour before to Dr.

[@pezn2077]

You need to do it while you're seeing the doctor. When they offer you a chair just say no doctor I'm fine like this against the wall. No really I'm fine.

[@lightningbug276]

I can’t walk so I can use these!

[@thecookingdoc]

I am very glad to hear this. A little each day can go a long way.

[@John-f9q9y]

I can walk for 3 hours without getting tired but still my presure is killing me

I actually liked your video but you should explain what a nephrologist is and I hate it when you guys use that disclaimer all the time

[@thecookingdoc]

A nephrologist is a kidney doctor. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. :)

You can actually Google anything nowadays

[@bernicewilliams105]

He said what that is in the beginning

[@Goddamgoodamerican]

You have to workout 45 days straight to see a drop

[@megadwayne28]

Thought i heard somewhere Aim for 3 times a week

[@sandistuddert6207]

Nephrologist….. kidney specialist

[@daleknoel]

These are good but the first advice should be diet. Cut out alcohol, seed oils, sugar, and processed foods. Eat a keto or even better carnivore mainly beef. Oh yeah quit smoking for sure.

[@lisamilner9309]

Been a vegan for more than 10 years, I exercise daily, I'm a disabled veteran, no one else in my family has high BP problems. I've had some horrible experiences in the V.A. so now when I go see the doctor my BP goes instantly up to 202/98 which makes them give an EKG and a nitro pill that triggers my migraines. EKG always comes back as negative to anything wrong with my heart. The doctor now has me taking three different types, I've developed kidney problems because of it and neuropathy. The only oils I use to cook with is EVOO from a good source and coconut oil from a good source. Cut out sugars and processed foods, since I left the military back 2010. The only time my BP goes up is when even a video chat will cause it. They've tried all sorts of tests, so they said that I'm going to have a stroke one day, if we don't figure out the right meds for me to take . I'm tired of taking meds. ❤

[@aprilsonnet]

How many reps and for how long do you do these exercises @thecookingdoc
