Enjoying Retirement in Good Health, Going For Zero
Walt and I have been vacationing quite often this winter. We visited the Miami area, went on a cruise, visited relatives in Florida and hope to head to Panama City, Panama soon. While a great deal of fun, visiting all these locations requires extensive walking and long days.
The biggest and most unique “folly” at Vizcaya is a piece of fantasy concrete architecture sitting in the water in front of the mansion called “The Barge”.
Walt and I know how important it is monitor our health through regular physicals, but there are many things we can do at home to stay on top of our health as well. One thing we have done recently is to take Omron’s Going For Zero Pledge.
I will work with Omron on their goal to change the public mindset from “checking” blood pressure to “monitoring”. Omron Healthcare, Inc. is the global category leader in personal heart health and wellness technology, with a heritage of over 40 years. Omron is the #1 doctor and pharmacist recommended home blood pressure monitor brand on the market, and the brand is known for its clinically-validated accuracy.
As you can see from the pledge above, it’s all the things that any healthy adult should be doing, especially retired adults like Walt and me. We already exercise, eat smart, drink in moderation, relax but the one thing we don’t do regularly is monitor our blood pressure.
Omron Healthcare’s company mission is Going for Zero™, the elimination of heart attacks and
strokes. The company has pursued its bold mission by developing new heart health technologies, working in collaboration with physicians, launching a national education campaign, and forming partnerships with groups like the American Heart Association to achieve breakthroughs.
As part of our Going for Zero Pledge, over the next 90 days, Walt and I will be taking and monitoring our blood pressure with the Omron Evolv Wireless Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor. I will be bringing the results of our readings and talking to you more about the importance of regular blood pressure monitoring at home and how that can help lead to the elimination of heart attacks and strokes. Watch for three more blog posts that can help you and your family work to eliminate your cardiac events.

I learned that for over 80 years Omron Electronic Components has been one of the leading manufacturers and providers of advanced electronic components and I am glad they are made in Japan , better quality.
I learned that Omron’s headaquarters are in Kyoto, Japan
I like their tag line: It’s not enough to know your blood pressure numbers – it’s time to act on them.
Thanks for the contest.
I learned that you should monitor blood pressure.
I learned this is the most reliable monitor on the market today. Also learned that they sell some really reasonable tens units on the site.
That is device Syncs with the Omron app to track and share vital data about your blood pressure, which makes it very easy to keep track of.
love that they are going for 0 heart attacks and this device would hopefully keep me in check
I learned that they are working on a wrist blood pressure monitor that looks just like a lot of smart watches. Their goal is to eliminate cardiac events.
You are correct. I exercise, eat smart, do not drink alcohol at all but I do not monitor my blood pressure. As a man in his 50’s now this would be perfect for me
I took the zero pledge. I love that they are not only giving us our numbers, they are also sharing how to help reduce those numbers!
Hello, I learned there is an app that goes with this monitor, how ingenious and it makes it easy to keep track from day to day.
TECHNOLOGY IS POWER
We’ve created the most reliable blood pressure monitors on the market.
I learned that the Project Zero 2.0 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is in development. It looks very stylish and measures blood pressure at the push of a button.
I learned Hypertension, or high blood pressure, impacts roughly 46% of adults in the United States. We had a major accident in Nashville on the interstate. A women was on her way to work about 6am and had a heart attack. She crossed several lanes of traffic. The interstate was shut down for several hours. This is so scary. We can be a ticking time bomb and not know it!
I learned there are 2 different stages of hypertension before it is considered a hypertensive emergency.
I learned that normal blood pressure is less than 120 systolic and less than 80 diastolic.
I really like the fact that not only is the blood pressure monitored, but also sleep! I believe my lack of sleep plays a very big part in my irregular blood pressure. We recently purchased an off brand fit bit to monitor before I see a doctor at the end of May, and I am really hoping it is registering wrong.
Nice..and needed as I’m a bit older than you and need to take charge to make the zero goal talked about at their home link..I love the watch and I am taking the pledge..I can have control.
I learned I should be monitoring by blood pressure everyday instead of checking it once in awhile. I have high blood pressure
I learned when you trust your heart health to Omron, you’ll be empowered by accuracy. Their products look very nice!
