Blowing Off Tension?Posted by in Untagged |

Does this look like anyone you know?How's your blood pressure? Kids getting to you? Boss stressing you out? Spouse picking tiny fights for no apparent reason?
Well, there's an interesting study from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago that says you can keep your blood pressure in check with this simple move: Take fewer than 10 deep breaths per minute for seven minutes a day.
This type of paced breathing can slow heart rate and simply relax you, which are two key factors for taming stress and staying within a safe pressure range!
Of course the best way to maintain optimum blood pressure is through weight control. Even losing a few pounds can go a long way toward friendly BP numbers.
