Put on 5 of “Fake-Views Falsie’s” masks
(But only for 5 minutes per day)

Does struggling through a mask to breathe have the same effect?

Interesting. Now, I am wishing that I had held onto the “inspirator” that I was given after my last surgery

I’m wondering if inhaling through a drinking straw would accomplish the same thing...

Elsewhere...

[At the end of the study, those who did the more intense form of breathing exercise had a 9-point drop in their systolic blood pressure—”a reduction which generally exceeds that achieved by walking 30 minutes a day five days a week,” say the study authors. “That decline is also equal to the effects of some blood pressure-lowering drug regimens.”]

“This improvement in SBP is clinically meaningful because it is associated with a 30 percent to 40 percent lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease,”

From what I’ve read, high blood pressure by itself doesn’t harm the heart. The plaque build-up that hardens arteries can be very dangerous, and it ALSO increases blood pressure. So if you have high blood pressure because of what is happening inside of your arteries, the high blood pressure is a serious risk.

Not convinced lowering blood pressure without changing what happens inside the artery is going to do any long term good.
