(7/17) reports that swimming regularly "can lower your blood pressure,
according to a study published in the April edition of the American
Journal of Cardiology." The study followed "43 sedentary older adults
with elevated blood pressure and found that a three-month program of
slow to moderate swimming lowered their systolic blood pressure (the top
number) by an average of nine points." Further, the swims "led to a
significant improvement in their vascular
function."
