Yoga May Help Ease High Blood Pressure

People who follow the ancient practice of yoga may be getting an added health boost,with a new study suggesting it can fight high blood pressure一also known as hypertension.
"This study confirms many people's feelings that exercise may be useful in the control of hypertension,"said Dr. Howard."Yoga would be a useful adjunct in the lowering of blood pressure in certain populations."
_________(46)Although the study couldn't prove a cause-and-effect relationship,doing yoga two to three times a week was associated with an average drop in blood pressure readings from 133/ 80 to 130/77,the researchers said.
In comparison,the average decrease in blood pressure was smaller(134/83 to 132/82)among people who ate a special diet but did not do yoga.
In a bit of a surprise,doing yoga in tandem with a special diet did not outperform doing yoga alone.___________(47)
Dr. Howard said the study shows that"yoga can have a favorable effect" on hypertension. ________(48)"But some large population studies have suggested that changes of this magnitude could have very significant long-term benefits."
___________(49)including its relatively short length and the fact that most participants were young and had milder forms of high blood pressure,Dr. Howard said.
__________(50)"Yoga,along with deep breathing exercises,meditation and inner reflection,is a good adjunctive and integrative cardiovascular approach to better health,including lowering blood pressure,as this data suggests,"said Dr. David Friedman.

选项 __________(49)
A:The amount of change was small,he said.
B:Another expert agreed that the ancient Indian practice of yoga might ease hypertension.
C:In the study,researchers tracked 58 women and men,aged 38 to 62,for six months.
D:Yoga is proved to be effective in lowering high blood pressure.
E:The study did have some limitations.
F: This may be because doing both required a greater amount of time,making it more difficult for participants to stick with their regimens.
