Moderate Exercise Linked to 5 mmHg Blood Pressure Reduction in Adults Aged 30-60: Study

A recent study reveals that participants who consistently engaged in moderate-intensity exercise experienced improvements in several key health indicators. Researchers observed notable reductions in blood pressure, body weight, and cholesterol levels among individuals adhering to a regular exercise regimen. The study further indicated a positive correlation between exercise frequency and enhanced mental well-being, as reported by participants. Specifically, the study tracked a group of adults between the ages of 30 and 60 over a six-month period. Participants engaged in activities such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming for at least 150 minutes per week. Researchers measured blood pressure at the beginning, midpoint, and end of the study, finding an average decrease of 5 mmHg in systolic blood pressure. Furthermore, participants experienced an average weight loss of 5 pounds and a decrease in total cholesterol levels by 10 mg/dL. The study also incorporated self-reported questionnaires assessing mood and stress levels, which indicated improvements in overall mental well-being among the active participants.
