For years I’ve wondered why my blood pressure was not in the normal range most of the time.  I’m healthy, not overweight, have a good diet.

I tried different foods, sleeping more, changing diet. I even  bought cuffs to test daily and tried everything to lower it, from reducing salt intake to taking niacin. Little helped.

Then one day, I noticed something as I took my BP at CVS pharmacy machine in the back of the Lafayette, CA store.  My blood pressure was 118 over 74 – this in the middle of the day when my blood pressure is always high! I tried again and got a similar 111 over 76 reading. I tried a third time and got 118/79.  I tried to figure if  anything was different.

I did notice something. I WAS SITTING UP PERFECTLY STRAIGHT. I never considered myself a sloucher  but I do have a little swayback and sometimes will relax in that position instead of pulling my stomach up and in.

Just for heck I thought I’d try slouching and , sure enough, my blood pressure went up to 135/89. about what it normally has been during midday. I tried several more times alternating between sitting straight up and slouching and every time I sat up the BP was in the normal range and when I slouched it was in the mid-to-high range!

I checked out my findings and found actual data to validate that bad posture can result in high blood pressure, and not just slouching. There are a raft of suggestions that may also improve your posture, and thereby, blood pressure. Go here

SO, TRY IT OUT FOR YOURSELF! SIT UP STRAIGHT! If you’re already one of good posture this tip may not help much or at all, but if you’re like me and the many slouchers out there except a 5-20 point drop in blook pressure!
