Explanation of the reason why moderate exercise improves hypertension

The National Rehabilitation Center for disabled persons, etc.reported the research report that the high blood pressure to the brain by moderate exercise of the jogging is improved by improving the blood pressure. The papers that summarize the results were published in the international science magazine in July.

High blood pressure
The state of blood pressure measured at the medical facility is higher than systolic blood pressure 140 mmHg or over 90 mmHg.
Home blood pressure measuring at home is 135 mmHg or more and 85 mmHg or more.
Above (systolic blood pressure) 140 mmHg or more
Lower (diastolic blood pressure) 90 mmHg or more
* criteria for hypertension when measured at clinics and hospitals. Hypertension therapy guideline 2019.
Impact on brain by light exercise improves blood pressure
In the study, we measured the changes of the brain during exercise corresponding to the light jogging by using rats with high blood pressure.
As a result, the body fluid in the brain flows by the moderate physical impact transmitted to the head (brain) when the foot lands.
Then, it was proven that the effect of the blood pressure was obtained by the stimulation of the cell related to the blood pressure regulation, and the lowering of the quantity of the protein to raise blood pressure.
3 days a day and 3 times a week is effective

In the research on the person, the experiment to reproduce the shock to the head was carried out using the chair which moves the seat up and down.
The effect of improving blood pressure was recognized in 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week, about 1 month.
The following exercise is expected to have similar effects.
Jog
Quick walk
Bicycle hook
Swimming
Underwater walking
Down stairs
Moderate exercise was known to be effective in preventing and improving hypertension, but the detailed mechanism was unknown.
In this research, one of the reasons was clarified.
According to the research team, in the rat experiment, the blood pressure is lowered by the motion of the body fluid in the brain by the stimulation to the head by the motion.
It is thought that there is a similar effect in the human brain, and the chair surface moves up and down.
We tested 27 patients with hypertension of 20 to 80.
The effect was improved for about a month, and the effect was continued for about one month, and it continued for about one month for the clinical trial which was able to sit in the chair for 30 days, sit every 30 minutes, and apply the same impact as a light jog to the brain, "said Yasuhiro sawada.
If you take in daily life, you can expect similar effects in light jogging, fast walking, and underwater walking.
The speed of walking is a little faster than usual. If you take 10 to 15 minutes a day, you can expect the effect
The effect by the light exercise is kept by the exercise.
It is also effective to take the bicycle down the stairs, take the bicycle. "
