The 10 Min Daily Habit To Lower Blood Pressure In Older Adults

Описание: High blood pressure after 60 isn’t always about “too much salt” or “too much stress.” For many older adults, the real driver is something quieter: arterial stiffness—blood vessels that don’t expand like they used to, forcing pressure higher with every heartbeat.

In this video, Dr. Helen Marlowe shows a 10-minute daily habit that can lower systolic blood pressure by 8–12 points in many older adults—without a gym, without equipment, and without exhausting cardio. But you’ll also learn why this only works when you do it the right way, in the right order.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:
• Why blood vessels stiffen with age (and why “normal walking” isn’t always enough)
• The science behind isometric holds and “rebound vessel relaxation”
• How controlled breathing shifts your nervous system from “on edge” to “calm”
• Why hydration matters more than most seniors realize for blood pressure control
• The exact 10-minute protocol, broken down minute-by-minute
• The 3 common mistakes that make this routine useless (and sometimes risky)

The routine (overview)

You’ll combine short, safe muscle holds (like a wall sit and a plank—plus easier modifications), followed by slow paced breathing and a simple hydration finish. The goal is to train your vessels to relax, support healthy circulation to the brain and kidneys, and reduce the “pressure spikes” that come with stiff arteries.

Safety note (please read)

This is educational content, not medical advice. Do not stop or change blood pressure medication without speaking to your clinician. If you have uncontrolled blood pressure (very high readings), recent heart attack or stroke, or severe joint pain that limits movement, ask your doctor about safe modifications before starting.
