Harness Pressure for Long-Term Gain
High blood pressure indicates the heart faces excessive resistance, requiring it to work harder to circulate blood. A counterintuitive solution involves temporarily increasing resistance through brief, intense exercises that stimulate the blood vessels. This short-term stress prompts the vessels to dilate in response to reduced blood flow, leading to chronic adaptations that lower overall blood pressure by improving the ease of blood passage through arteries and veins. This principle applies similarly to cortisol regulation and extends to mental health, energy levels, and recovery, highlighting the broad benefits of exercise as a hormetic stressor that fosters positive long-term health changes.
