It seems that we would be better off practicing Thanksgiving year round. Research has found that thanks-giving does more than just making us feel food. Research has found that the simple practice of expressing gratitude such as saying \u201cthank you\u201d can significantly improve your blood pressure. A 2021 study revealed that writing in a daily gratitude journal helps participants to lower their diastolic blood pressure by an average of 16%. Another study found that gratitude practices were associated with a 10% lower systolic blood pressure. What makes gratitude so powerful? Apparently when you focus on thankfulness, your stress levels drop, reducing stress hormones leading to lower blood pressure. Just saying \u201cthank you\u201d may activate your parasympathetic nervous system enough to cause relaxation, reducing any strain on your heart. So for a simple non toxic way to deal with your blood pressure, consider practicing gratitude like saying the 2 words \u201cThank you\u201d daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Saying these 2 words can help lower your blood pressure can you guess what these two words are?\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eLXSx9cbDz0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saying these 2 words can help lower your blood pressure can you guess what these two words are? #drshintani #bloodpressurecontrol. #controlbloodpressure. #thanksgiving #gratitude #gratitudejournal. #thanksgivingprayers. #systolicbloodpressure. #reducestress Once a year we engage in a very healthy practice called Thanksgiving.
