How Exercises Lower Blood Pressure
Exercise can lower your blood pressure in several ways:
 
1. Fat loss which occurs due to physical activity will reduce blood pressure; the similar to this is reducing fat by following a diet.

But exercise has several benefits over just dieting. Breathing more rapidly, even with low levels of exercise, and sweating during physical activity are beneficial for eliminating water and salt from your body which also leads to the lowering of blood pressure.

2. Exercise assists in production of two major hormones in your body. When exercising your resting level of adrenaline decreases. This leads to lowering of your heart rate and blood pressure, just as if you used a beta blocker, but with several major differences. But beta blockers can make you less fit (tin most cases they reduce aerobic fitness by 10 percent), while exercise makes you more fit. Instead of feeling more fatigued and losing sleep, you will be more active and feel better. Also beta blockers can cause the blood cholesterol and sugar abnormalities but if you do exercises you will be able to improve your blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
