High Blood Pressure. Cures through training???

[Sledge]

My mate at work has been told he has high blood pressure. He aske me what is the best way to lower it.

I told him that training MMA is a great way to do this.

Is this correct?? I don't want him going training and keeling over.

Could anyone (possibly Rosi) tell me any good stuff for bringing it down.

Thanks in advance.

tell him to put on his own show mate, that'll sort it right out........

Marc is correct, just look how chilled out all the promoters on here are!

in all seriousness, depending on his doctors report / recommendations,

stop smoking [ if he does ]
cut down on the achohol [ if excessive ]
begin moderate exercise at first [ doctor permitting ]
re address his diet [ if poor ]
outside influences , ie work [ his job ? ] personal circumstances ???
is he currently on any medication ?

on and sledge, rosi iirc [ will be corrected ] has a doctorate in computer's / maths i believe - not medicine, she is doctor sexton not gp sexton. i may be wrong though.

Many thanks.

He is of Indian haritage so I think he has probably had a high fat diet for years. He is not that over weight but does no exercise and smokes
Does not drink a load but does drink some.
I have passed on the advice but I think he knew the answer already as he is sat in the canteen with a salad.
I think he was hoping I coiuld come up with a magic answer.

I have low blood pressure, which apparently is considered worse (well, harder to treat effectively)

Anyway, enough about me

all the indiand i know are pretty damn healthy mainly due to the massive amount of tumeric they eat which is awesome stuff ( sorry for any racial stereotyping there )
