Simple hand exercise can help lower blood pressure, claim experts
A simple hand exercise can help lower high blood pressure according to experts. Giving a firm handshake can made a good first impression but it is actually proven to help your health too.
In fact, handgrip strength training could help reduce the dangers associated with high blood pressure. Hand grips work aggressively on making your finger, palm and wrist muscles stronger. In a study published in the National Library of Medicine, isometric handgrip home training to help lower blood pressure was investigated.
In another study with Canada's McMaster University, participants performed 10 handgrip exercises three times a week for eight weeks, working at 30% of their maximal voluntary contraction.
