Exercise and a flax nutritional supplement for reducing blood pressure in older individuals

The purpose of the research project is to determine the effects of a flax-based nutritional supplement and an exercise program (walking) for improving blood pressure in older individuals. Both of these interventions lower blood pressure and we want to determine whether their effects are additive for reducing blood pressure. We will evaluated blood pressure with 24-hour monitors and also assess blood markers for cardiovascular disease risk.
