I am monitoring, not checking, my blood pressure with the Going For Zero Pledge
Today’s discussion of Zero Heart Attacks, Strokes | Going for Zero Pledge is brought to you by Omron Healthcare.

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.

They have a Kardia Mobile EKG that sounds really great except that right now it only syncs with Apple, not Android. It would be beneficial for those odd questionable pains I get that could/could not be cardiac.
I learned that the wrist blood pressure monitor lasts an entire week on one charge
I love the idea of Bluetooth® technology, which syncs the unit with the Omron Connect US app!
I learned that checking your blood pressure can help prevent heart disease and strokes.
I learned that it syncs with the omron app to track and share vital data.
Heart disease is a silent killer. So we’re not being silent anymore.
I love that it monitors your blood pressure at the touch of the button and that it is clinically accurate. I really loved my Omron Pedometer. It says it measures activity, but I wonder if that means steps, too.
I have this bookmarked. I will be looking into getting one. Thanks for the giveaway! I love finding new (to me) things!
I learned their device helps give you control of your health and life! I would love to gift this to my grandma who has high BP.
I learned this product has an algorithm that provides more precise readings
I learned that they carry several TENS units at different price points.
The Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor measures physical activity and sleep.
I would be very interested in their Project Zero 2.0 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor which is in development pending FDA Clearance. This would be an easy, convenient way to stay on top of your blood pressure readings, especially for those who have problems with their pressure.
NICE MONITOR THAT I COULD SURELY USE.
omron makes good medical equipment
Heart disease is a silent killer. When I go for my annual check ups I’m told that my blood pressure is great, however, my last appointment it was high and I never really understood what the number meant until seeing the breakdown included in the website. I plan on printing this out or taking a picture of it so I can know whenever I have my blood pressure taken.
I learned that I need to do more monitoring of my blood pressure. Saying that I’m just checking it is more random and monitoring it is a more thorough way of knowing my numbers at different times of day.
That would be a thing to have for my peace of mind
I learned all about the movement to decrease heart attacks & strokes, how to increase exercise, change one’s diet, try to eliminate stress, & monitor blood pressure easily with modern devices.
I learned that precision nebulizers and peak flow meters deliver effective results at home or on-the-go
I learned that one charge lasts a week. Way more convenient that having to buy batteries so often and more planet friendly. I like the big digital display as well.
