This Kind Act Lowers High Blood Pressure 40%

Getting more exercise, eating right and reducing stress aren’t the only non-drug ways to drop blood pressure.

A new study out of Carnegie Mellon University revealed a simple, kind activity that drastically lowers blood pressure.

The best part is that this activity is extremely pleasurable, anyone can do it, and it doesn’t cost a penny.

In the study, more than a thousand adults – who all had healthy blood pressure in the beginning – were followed for 4 years to evaluate risk of hypertension.

The participants who were active as volunteers in the community, defined as having more than 200 hours total for the four years, were more than 40% less likely to suffer from high blood pressure than their non-volunteer counterparts at the end of the study.

Researchers speculated that the benefits to blood pressure health stem from the healthful effects of social interaction.

You see, as we age, the effects of isolation that arise from retirement, loss of loved ones, and other layers of separation take their toll.

Spending time in the service of others as a volunteer fills the social needs as well as offering a past time of meaningful activities. These combined benefits fill the body with hormones that help regulate emotions, mood, and blood pressure.
