moderate exercise

There is a saying: "When you are young, you use health for money; when you are old, you use exercise for health."

Guo Quanying explained that exercise can not only promote blood circulation , In addition to reducing the production of cholesterol, it can also strengthen muscles and bones, and avoid the occurrence of joint stiffness. Therefore, moderate exercise can increase appetite, promote gastrointestinal motility, prevent constipation, improve sleep, and then improve blood pressure.

The exercise of middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients should include aerobic exercise, stretching exercise and muscle strengthening exercises. Specific items can choose walking, jogging, Tai Chi, gateball and so on.
