Sweating in summer can help lower blood pressure. The hot weather makes people sweat more easily, which causes blood vessels to dilate and improves circulation. This helps regulate the digestive and nervous systems, thereby reducing blood pressure. People with different physical constitutions should choose appropriate forms of exercise. Gentle activities such as tai chi or walking promote even sweating and contribute to therapeutic blood pressure reduction. If blood pressure is too high, medication should be taken according to medical advice.
