Sweep Away High Blood Pressure!
If you've got high blood pressure, you probably know that getting it under control and keeping it there is critical to your health. But did you know you can get started without changing your schedule or even leaving home? It's true! A study published in Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise found that simply tackling your household chores can help.
According to the study, participants who aimed to burn an extra 150 calories a day just by doing an hour of laundry or dusting experienced a significant drop in blood pressure — without ever stepping foot in a gym! Everyday activities such as sweeping the floor, pulling weeds, and washing the car do translate into calories burned and cardiovascular benefits gained. So next time tidying up feels like a chore, remember you're not just cleaning the house — you're helping your heart!
