Two best exercises for lowering Blood Pressure (BP) identified
All forms of exercise help in lowering the BP. However, the exact magnitude of BP lowering was not known. A recent meta-analysis looked at the data (obtained from 270 randomized controlled trials) on effects of various forms of exercises on BP.
Isometric wall squat and running were the most effective modes to reduce the systolic and diastolic BP, respectively. Isometric exercise (wall squats) were the best in reducing both systolic and diastolic BP.
Isometric muscle action happens when muscles contract but do not visibly change length, and the joints involved don’t move, facilitating stability of the body. Besides wall squats, planks are another great way to do isometric exercises.
The reductions in blood pressure after aerobic exercise training amounted to 4.49/2.53 mmHg; 4.55/3.04 mmHg after dynamic resistance training; 6.04/2.54 mmHg after combined training; 4.08/2.50 mmHg after HIIT; and 8.24/4 mmHg after isometric exercise training.
Take home message
Those looking to maximize reduction in BP can focus on isometric exercises (such as wall squats & planks) and running.

Here is what I wrote about Rahul Gandhi on his 50th birthday - it gave me a great insight into how RG frustrates the RSS for he refuses to compromise with them and continues onward (like the proverbial elephant with dogs barking at his heels) despite their multi million rupees campaigns against him. So when they were begging him to dissolve the Congress and clear the path for the RSS agenda to succeed, it was a tacit admission that the agenda was was slipping out of their hands. All because of just Rahul Gandhi. Here I saw Rahul as a throwback to his great-grandfather Nehru who too absolutely refused to deal with powerful fascists of that era and gave India a fighting chance against those who would destroy the country..
allindiansmatter.in/even-the…
And here is what I wrote a year later. I had believed the Congress needed some pugnacity to combat the RSS propaganda machinery and swift denials of misinformation to correct the negative perceptions as most people are gullible and need to be told the truth in no uncertain terms
nationalheraldindia.com/indi…
But RG went one better with his BJY, his Mohabbat Ki Dukaan and simply by showing himself to the world for what he is, who he is, how he is and why he is.
I notice the BJP IT cell is so frustrated these days by Modi showing up so inferior to RG every which way and the Congress media team's swift comparative contrasting of the BJP propaganda against Congress and RG.
A senior political analyst recently told me that the moment RG was disqualified and Rahul and Congress shifted focus even before that from winning elections to saving India from fascist elements the BJP and Modi had lost and will continue to go downhill from now on. For sacrifice of power is, well, a powerful sentiment in India and Rahul Gandhi wearing that single Tshirt through the Yatra was the equivalent of Mahatma Gandhi's loin cloth in solidarity with the poor which people have not missed. Brava, all. @Pawankhera

Harsha Bhogle said "I remain the teller of the story. Not the story itself".
Harsha with gift of the verse made cricket more romantic and interesting.
While cricket was played on the field, he served it in his own flavour into our drawing rooms.
1. When Geoffrey Boycott once said Sachin may be a great batsman but he never got his name at the Lord's honours boards, Harsha said - "So whose loss it it? Sachin's or the Honours Boards'?"
2. Explaining how Cheteshwar Pujara is a fine Test player but the T20 format doesn't suit him - "Pujara is a classical musician in the era of Yo Yo Honey Singh."
3. After Dhoni sent a Mitchell Starc delivery to the boundary - "He had all the time in the world. He could have read a newspaper."
4. On a Tendulkar straight drive against Ishant Sharma in the IPL - "open the text book. Turn to page 32".
5. About Rahul Dravid's devastating form - Ask him to walk on water and he would say, 'how many kilometres?'
6. About Glenn Maxwell’s batting - "He just loves to storm through. I guess if he had a car, he would probably start it in 4th gear."
7. After Sehwag was dropped yet again during a tour of New Zealand - "Its that kind of a day, Sehwag can walk blindfolded across a busy highway today and not get run over."
8. When Michael Clarke got caught at slip but was still waiting for the umpire’s decision - :I think he is waiting for tomorrow's newspaper to declare him out."
9. During Sachin’s last Test match against the West Indies - "Sachin playing well and looking positive. I think that couple of fours he hit settled the nerves. Dont know about his nerves, I am talking about the nerves of each and every person in the crowd."
10. Looking at the pitch in a recent England tour : "Looks like Suarez was here".
11. India's last man Narendra Hirwani was coming into bat when Bhogle was asked by his co-commentator Ian Chappell whether Hirwani could bat - "If you make a team with all the No.11s of all the teams, Hirwani would still come at No.11 in the line-up."
12. What a way to welcome Sachin when he was coming in to bat in a Test match!
"Eruption of joy in the fall of an Indian wicket would only mean one thing".
13. When India's 11th man, Varun Aaron, was coming into bat - "Cricket is the only sport in the world where you are absolutely horrible at something and you still need to go out and do it."
14. Dhoni was whacking one shot after another until Sachin got on strike and caressed a delivery towards covers - "We have a surgeon at one end and a butcher at the other."
15. After Dhoni lost the toss yet again - "MS Dhoni has yet again called for heads to the coin which has two tails."
16. While co-commentating with Rahul Dravid in a Test match that India was losing to England - "The only man who can save the match is the man sitting next to me."
17. After a diving Kieron Pollard could not take a catch - "If Pollard can't reach it then it's not a catch."
18. When Sachin got out off Michael Vaughan's offspin in 2002 - "Oh what a shame! It's like a soldier who survived the war when all the bullets were flying by his nose and then got run over by a bicycle in his native town."
19. When the batsmen are scrambling for singles and twos at the end of an innings - "It's like the end of a scrabble game at this stage, India will take whatever they can get."
20. What a way to sum up why we call Dravid The Wall! - "Is there a more calming sight in the world than Rahul Dravid taking guard."
21. And this is what he said during a lecture at IIM-A and someone asked him what his CGPA was as a student - "I learnt this very early in my childhood.
Remember the good, forget the bad."
