Got high blood pressure? Have more sex Brazil's health minister has a remedy for the nation's high-blood-pressure problem - more sex. Minister Jose Temporao says adults should be exercising more to help keep their blood pressure down. "People need to be active. A weekend football game must not be the only physical activity for a Brazilian," he said. "Adults need to do exercise - walk, dance and have safe sex." And the minister insisted that sex is a good cardiovascular workout. "It's not a joke. It's serious. Having regular physical exercises also means sex, always with protection of course," Temporao said. He also recommended dancing, a healthy diet and regular blood-pressure checks. The minister made the comments Monday while launching a national campaign against high blood pressure in the Brazilian capital of Brasilia. The Health Ministry says that 21.5 percent of Brazilians had high blood pressure in 2006. That jumped to 24.4 percent in 2009. - AP Published on April 27, 2010 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
