Exercise can be beneficial for blood pressure. The more you move, the better! “Over time, these benefits add up and make a real difference in maintaining a healthy heart,” notes Dr. Rachana Kulkarni, director of the Women’s Heart Center for Heart and Vascular Services at RWJBarnabas Health. She’s among the experts featured in this Woman’s World article on what you need to know about blood pressure and exercise: https://ow.ly/iTGT50VszQO For more information about our cardiac services, visit: https://ow.ly/bV1r50VszQP #BloodPressure #HealthyHeart #LetsBeHealthyTogether
