I am Dmitri, a health enthusiast. I developed a passion for health topics in my mid forties when I was diagnosed with anxiety and high blood pressure and my doctor advised me breathing exercise and physical exercises to lower anxiety and high blood pressure naturally. I started from deep breathing, walking and gradually progressed to running to address high blood pressure. Currently in my mid fifties, I fixed anxiety and high blood pressure and compete in global endurance races. I also actively practice breathing exercises, yoga, meditation and meditation music to lower blood pressure. Exercise is one of my favourite methods to stay in good shape and avoid anxiety and high blood pressure.
