Many people believe it is inevitable that the older they get the higher their blood pressure will be. A study which included almost 14,000 healthy men without hypertension, cardiovascular disease or cancer were followed for nearly 40 years. Highly fit men reached abnormal systolic blood pressures a decade later than men in the low fitness category. These findings may not apply to women, or nonwhite men; as these groups were not included in the study.
PositiveTip: Keep a younger blood pressure! Stay physically fit.
