One of the simplest, most-often-overlooked strategies to prevent high blood pressure is, literally, right under your nose, deep breathing exercises. Try the following technique, adapted from Chinese medicine:
1. Take a slow deep breath through the nose, allowing the lower sections of the lungs, then the rest of the lungs, to fill with air.
2. Exhale slowly for 10 seconds, either silently or with an audible sign, to remind yourself that the lengthy breath has been completed.
3. Repeat these inhale / exhale workouts four to five times a day, even if only for a few minutes at a time 9at red lights in traffic or perhaps each time the emial beeps).
The potential health benefits include lower blood pressure, increased relaxation and heightened immune defenses, according to practitioners of Chinese medicine.
