Sanford, NC — Nov. 4, 2015 — Eric Currey, spokesperson for Supreme Squeeze, announced that using hand grippers can aid in lowering blood pressure and improve blood vessel function. They also strengthen the muscles and help combat the loss of grip strength that occurs as part of the natural aging process.
“A variety of scientific research projects and studies have shown that hand grippers not only improve grip strength, they can help lower blood pressure, improve function of blood vessels, and help maintain neurological health in the fingers, hands, wrists and forearms,” said Currey.
Figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that 32 percent of individuals over the age of 20 in the U.S. have high blood pressure. The condition increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, and exacerbates a number of other medical conditions. Hypertension can be addressed with medication, exercise and lifestyle changes that include a routine of hand gripper exercises.
A report released by the American Heart Association that individuals who regularly utilized hand grip exercises were able to significantly lower their blood pressure. The organization noted that individuals should not stop taking their medication for the condition and should consult with a physician as the alternative therapy isn’t appropriate for everyone.
Hand grippers offer a portable and convenient means of maintaining the health of hands, wrists and forearms, along with other health benefits. Exercises can be performed at home, work and anytime it’s convenient. Using hand grippers is an affordable option that doesn’t require a daily trip to the gym or fitness center.
A 2010 study published in the Journal of Hypertension consolidated data from three independent trials and discovered that after four weeks of hand grip training, subjects lowered their blood pressure by approximately 10 percent. The results were consistent among both genders of all ages. Hand grippers aid in reducing blood pressure by strengthening muscles and surrounding blood vessels, allowing the vessels to dilate and thereby improving circulation.
Supreme Squeeze offers hand grippers with 66 lbs. of resistance that’s appropriate for use by both genders and eliminates the need to purchase multiple sets of grippers. Sold in sets of two, they come complete with exercise and training tips. The devices feature foam handles for comfort and can be used to begin and maintain a healthy regimen of exercise that may result in a reduction in blood pressure.
