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 this device last one full week on a charge. I also learned that it syncs with the app to share your data that it records.
I learned that they make a medical device like a watch that can monitor your activity level and blood pressure! I love that, I am struggling with postpartum preeclampsia. I am supposed to monitor my blood pressure in the mornings but that’s not always so easy with a toddler as an alarm clock. This would be great!
I learned that a charge lasts a whole week.
I learned that you can buy at these places

The Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is an ultra-compact and stylish medical device that measures blood pressure with clinical accuracy at the push of a button. It lasts one week on a charge. My husband and I have high blood pressure and it is a struggle to take our BP because of getting it in just the right place without the tubes twisting so this would be amazing! I have never heard of this type of monitor and I am highly impressed.
Learned the global mission is to improve lives and contribute to a better society. Good for everyone
I learned that the Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor tracks your sleep and physical activity. Easy to keep track of your BP that way.

Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
It can Measure physical activity and sleep
Last one week on a charge. I love this one step device.
I knew that eating healthy helped reduce blood pressure. But I didn’t know that certain foods were so good! Potassium found in bananas and carrots is nature’s best medicine for your heart!!
I learned that the wrist blood pressure monitor lasts an entire week on one charge, can share data about your sleep and blood pressure, and the overall goal is to make lasting changing based on the feedback to prevent heart attacks.
I have learned that Omron has a campaign to reach the ultimate goal of zero strokes and zero heart attacks by offering a product that will monitor your body with the latest technology.
I learned the use of this is to eliminate cardiac events. I monitor my wrist but this instrument is so much better.
I like the blood pressure category chart… I never know what the numbers mean when the doctor tells me what mine are, but this really spells it out.
I learned that it is quite normal for people’s blood pressure to change throughout the day and night because it changes with stress, what you eat and activity levels.
I noticed as you pointed out that the emphasis needs to be on CHANGING THE PUBLIC MINDSET from “checking” blood pressure to “monitoring”. I’m 64 and my husband is younger than I am, but he’s had a heart attack. I want to stay on top of this info. all of the time now.
checking your blood presser at home is essential to preventing heart disease and strokes.
I learned TECHNOLOGY IS POWER
and that Ormon has created the most reliable blood pressure monitors on the market.
I learned it measures your physical activity and sleep. I think it would help to show your doctor your progress or non progress.
