Training will help preserve the mental abilities of patients with hypertension who are prone to dementia. There is one feature – they must be intense.
The results of the SPRINT study were published in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia. It started in the USA in 2009. The study involved about 9,500 patients with arterial hypertension over 50 years of age.
One part of the volunteers achieved a reduction in pressure to 120 mm Hg, the other – to 140 mm Hg. We are talking about the “upper” systolic pressure.
It turned out that lowering blood pressure to 120 mmHg reduces the risk of developing cognitive changes – precursors of early dementia. Intense exercise was associated with a reduced risk of dementia and mild memory impairment. You need to train at least 2-3 times a week – under the guidance of an experienced trainer or doctor.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition in which the pressure in the arteries remains above normal for a long time. Main signs of hypertension:
1. One of the main signs of hypertension is constantly elevated blood pressure. Hypertension is usually diagnosed if it exceeds 140/90 mmHg. Some doctors claim that 130 mmHg is already a sign of hypertension.
2. Frequent and intense headaches, especially in the back of the head.
3. Hypertension can cause feelings of dizziness, unsteadiness, and even nausea.
4. Short-term loss of vision, “spots.”
5. Fatigue and weakness.
6. Increased sensitivity to cold.
7. Increased heart rate.
