Hypertension
- High blood pressure which is prevalent widely in India & globally may be a precursor of Heartdisease, Stroke, Kidney failure etc.
- 1 /3rd of patients with this deadly High Blood Pressure in India don't know that they are suffering from High Blood Pressure!
- This very wonderful concept of "Exercising the hypertensives" with Constant Blood Pressure & Heart Rate monitoring helps control the High Blood Pressure in addition to the medicines they are taking.
- Evidence states that regular Cardiopulmonary Conditioning exercise provides a prudent first line of defense to treat mild to moderate Hypertension. Systolic & Diastolic BP can decrease by 6 to 1 0 mm Hg in just one session with systematic, individualized & monitored Cardiopulmonary Conditioning. If this continues for 6-12 months, the set point of BP itself changes.
- Here Exercise intensity is a major consideration as even a brisk walking program may not provide a satisfactory stimulus to evoke a hypotensive effect!
- The exercise programmed includes Cardiopulmonary Conditioning of specific intensity & duration, Pranayama, Nutrition & Life Style Modification.
