Measuring your blood pressure is an important preventive health measure to help assess your cardiovascular health.
Regular blood pressure monitoring can prevent and manage hypertension, one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Blood pressure measures the force with which blood flows against the walls of blood vessels.
It is expressed in two numbers: systolic pressure (the upper value) and diastolic pressure (the lower value).
Systolic pressure is measured during cardiac contraction and diastolic pressure during resting heartbeat.
1. Effect of lifestyle changes: you can monitor the effect of lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, on blood pressure.
2. Prevention of cardiovascular disease: regular measurement helps to detect high blood pressure early.
3. Monitoring of medication: measurements can be used to assess the effectiveness of medication.
At home
Home blood pressure checks are handy if you have been found to have high blood pressure.
We recommend using a shoulder arm blood pressure monitor, which gives more accurate results than wrist or finger monitors.
Health care
Health professionals can measure blood pressure in a clinic or hospital.
This is particularly recommended if you have a history of hypertension or other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
At the Bodymaja measuring point
You can measure your blood pressure at the Bodymaja measuring point while measuring your body composition with the high-quality InBody770 devices that measure 100% your body.
We use medical-registered measuring devices and you can take your measurements in the comfort of your own home, in a shopping centre.
– Normal blood pressure: below 120/80 mm Hg
– Hypertension: 120-129/80 mmHg
– Stage 1 hypertension: 130-139/80-89 mmHg
– Stage 2 hypertension: 140 mmHg or higher/90 mmHg or higher (Source)
It is important to talk to your doctor if your test results are repeatedly elevated.
1. A healthy diet: eat a low-salt, plant-based diet.
2. Regular physical activity: aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week.
3. Stop smoking: smoking increases blood pressure and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
4. Weight management: reducing excess weight helps lower blood pressure.
5. Stress management: reducing stress in general, for example through mindfulness or yoga.
Regular measurement of blood pressure and accurate body composition provides a comprehensive view of your health and well-being.
Combining these two measurements helps in the following ways:
1. Comprehensive health assessment: by combining blood pressure and body composition measurements, a more accurate picture of cardiovascular health and general physical fitness is obtained.
This holistic approach enables better health management and monitoring.
2. Identifying risk factors: high blood pressure and unhealthy body composition, such as high body fat, are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Regular monitoring helps to detect these risk factors early and allows preventive measures to be taken.
3. Assessing the impact of lifestyle changes: regular measurements will help to better assess the impact of lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise and weight management on both blood pressure and body composition. This will motivate people to continue healthy lifestyles and make the necessary changes.
4. Improving medication management and treatment plans: regular measurement results help healthcare professionals to adjust medication management and treatment plans more effectively. For example, the effect of antihypertensive medication can be accurately monitored in relation to body composition.
5. Setting and monitoring targets: measurement results serve as concrete tools for setting and monitoring personal health and well-being targets.
This makes health management more systematic and effective.
Regular measurement of blood pressure and body composition offers a wide range of benefits for monitoring health and well-being.
Combining these two measurements helps to detect risk factors for cardiovascular disease early, monitor the impact of lifestyle changes and improve treatment plans.
Comprehensive health assessment motivates healthy lifestyles and supports long-term health management.
Bodymaja’s blood pressure measurement goes beyond the most common measurements.
Its purpose is to allow for early enough monitoring in a proactive manner.
Many people have elevated blood pressure without knowing it, so what better situation to find out than Bodymaja’s self-monitoring point.
In addition to the upper and lower blood pressure, the Bodymaja blood pressure measurement also provides the following values:
– M.A.P. (Mean Arterial Pressure): the average arterial pressure, which gives a comprehensive picture of blood pressure.
– Heart rate: the rate at which the heart beats per minute, which indicates the function and condition of the heart.
– RPP (Rate Pressure Product): a measure of the workload of the heart, it helps to assess the workload and oxygen consumption of the heart.
In addition, the measurement service plots historical data, allowing you to monitor the evolution of your blood pressure over time.
The service is constantly evolving, and data can be cross-analysed with body composition and compression force measurements, providing a more complete picture of health status when there are multiple measurements.
We want to offer you a new way to get an accurate picture of your body composition. With our InBody 770 measurement, you can get to know the inner world of your body and better understand what it needs to function in the best possible way.
