Did you know… standing for just one minute every hour can actually help lower your blood pressure?
Most of us spend 8–10 hours a day sitting — at work, in meetings, or watching TV. Long sitting sessions make blood pressure climb, especially if you already have hypertension.
But here’s the science-backed secret: if you stand up for just 1 minute every 60 minutes, your blood pressure can drop by around 4 to 5 points. It improves circulation, relaxes your blood vessels, and reduces the strain on your heart.
It’s simple. Set a reminder on your phone. Stand while making a call. Walk to refill your water. These little breaks add up — and your heart will thank you.
Remember, you don’t need hours at the gym. One minute each hour can make a real difference for your blood pressure and your health.
