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 Stress is a normal part of life. But too much can increase the risk of heart disease. Relax by doing things you enjoy (yoga, gardening, walking, etc.) and your heart can benefit. I do get stressed easily especially having anxiety.
I learned Blood Pressure readings and when to be concerned. I would love to check my readings in the comfort of my home.
This seems so much easier than the pump one we have! Would love to win this!
The Project Zero 2.0 Wrist Blood pressure monitor is awesome! It isn’t just tracking your blood pressure, but assists in helping with the problem.
I learned that the Going for Zero initiative has been going on since the 1930s and its mission is to create products that make a real difference in people’s lives, from personal fitness and heart health to freedom from aches and pains.
I see that they also sell “TENS devices for drug-free pain relief”. With my arthritis pain, those would come in handy. Thanks and God Bless!

I learned that they are making everyone more aware of the signs of heart attacks.
I learned that the Project Zero 2.0 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor that also monitors physical activity and sleep.
I did not know that high blood pressure affects 46% of the population. That is a lot!
I like that you can go drug free with only the Electrotherapy Tens unit.
I learned that this organization, Going For Zero, is looking to decrease cardiac events in persons. I also learned that there are published studies that show a given person’s blood pressure can change by up to 20mm within a day, based on activity levels, food/drink intake, stress, etc. This is why it is important to take your blood pressure on a regular basis, and review the overall trend of your blood pressure readings with your doctor.

Project Zero 2.0 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor syncs with the Omron app so that you can track information about your blood pressure. This would be good for my husband, who has had a heart attack and has seven stents in his heart. I, myself, have high blood pressure occasionally. The wrist blood pressure monitor lasts one week on a charge.
I learned knowing your blood pressure numbers throughout the day can help you see a heart attack or stroke coming and take action to save your own life. Would be a great help with my husband.
