A recent study shows that physically fit people with a family history of high blood pressure were up to 34% less likely to develop high blood pressure than people who rarely exercised. The bonus is that it didn't take hours in the gym to see the benefit, but about 70 minutes of brisk walking everyday.
" The results of this study send a very practical message, which is that even very realistic, moderate amount of exercise - which we define as brisk walking for 150 minutes per week - can provide a huge health benefit, particularly to people predisposed to hypertension because of their family history ."
