Most patients with high blood pressure listen when their doctors tell them to exercise more.  Armed with data from a government health survey, researchers concluded that only a third of  U.S. adults with hypertension were counseled by their doctors to get regular exercise.  Just over 70% of patients told to exercise did so, resulting in lower blood pressure than patients who did not exercise.
