Hypertension (high blood pressure) and high cholesterol significantly increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.

Regular cardiovascular exercise is highly beneficial at strengthening the heart and blood vessels to improve their function and circulation, and in turn, manage cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Exercises that increase your heart rate, including walking, swimming and cycling, should be completed frequently throughout the week.

Resistance exercise using weights, bands or bodyweight to place the muscles under repetitive load can help regulate blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It helps improve the function of your heart and blood vessels, while also being great for stress and weight management. Examples may include sit to stands, wall push-ups and shoulder press.

Balance exercises, including yoga, single-leg stance or heel-to-toe walking, can be beneficial for stress relief, a key contributor to blood pressure and cholesterol levels. This form of exercise is great for overall well-being and independence, and may be beneficial on days when fatigue is more intense.
