Moderate physical activity -- aerobic as well as pumping iron -- fortifies various segments of the cardiovascular system. In an article appearing in Circulation, Journal of the American Heart Association, Roy J. Shephard, M.D., of the University of Toronto and Gary J.

In someone with mild high blood pressure, physical activity leads to a drop in blood pressure that is sustained for eight to 12 hours. Blood pressure is lower on days when a person is physically active compared to when the individual is not. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7C35A3AF-ACE1-434A-B138-24E763EBDCB7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
