What do software developers, entrepreneurs, writers, artists, truck drivers, accountants, office administrators, and customer services representatives have in common?

Along with people in many other occupations, it turns out that they are all at risk of high blood pressure, especially if they are dedicated and hard working.

A recent study at the Seoul Medical Center concluded that office workers who spent long hours at their desks had an increased risk of developing high blood pressure compared to those who worked shorter hours.

According to the data, if you work more than 60 hours per week, you are twice as likely to have high blood pressure than people who work fewer than 52 hours.

This is quite scary, because there are so many people who sit more than 60 hours a week.

If you work eight hours per day for five days a week, you sit through all five lunch hours, and you work approximately seven hours each on Saturday and Sunday, you are well over your 60 hours a week.

This does not even capture the worst of it if you start thinking of what you do at night at home.

If you enjoy watching television or sitting at your computer, you may sit for almost 100 hours per week!

Considering this: Australian researchers have recorded in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity that anything above four hours of sitting per day increases your risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Danger brewing? Absolutely.

The good news is that the smallest amount of exercise every day can counteract a predominantly sedentary life and lower your blood pressure.

The most powerful of these are easy blood pressure exercises that take as little as 9 minutes per day. These exercises have helped thousands of readers to drop their blood pressure below 120/80 – often the very first day.
