What is good blood pressure and why should it be monitored?

Here is information on the benefits of Bodymaja’s Wide Blood Pressure Measurement:

What is blood pressure measurement?

Blood pressure measurement is a method of measuring the pressure of blood in blood vessels.
It is expressed in two numbers: systolic pressure (when the heart is pumping blood) and diastolic pressure (when the heart rests between pumps).
Blood pressure is expressed in millimetres of mercury (mmHg).
Normal blood pressure values in adults are usually below 120/80 mmHg.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, can be a serious health risk, so regular monitoring is important.

3. Start the measurement: press the START button on the top of the instrument.
The device starts pumping air into the cuff and measures your blood pressure.

4. Read the results: when the measurement is complete, the device displays the systolic and diastolic pressure on the body composition monitor screen.
Press YES to accept the results.

5. Go to Body Composition Measurement: measure your body composition and the blood pressure results will be sent to Omabody for analysis as well as being captured for follow-up measurements.

What are the benefits of regular measurements?

Regular blood pressure measurement has several advantages:

– Early detection: you can detect high blood pressure early and start the necessary interventions before serious complications develop.

– Monitoring treatment response: if you are taking medication or other treatments, regular measurement will help you monitor their effectiveness.

– Reducing health risks: controlling high blood pressure reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke.

– General well-being: controlling blood pressure can improve your general well-being and quality of life.

For whom is blood pressure measurement particularly important?

Measuring blood pressure is important for everyone, but especially for the following groups:

– Older people: blood pressure often rises with age, so regular blood pressure checks are important.

– People at risk of cardiovascular disease: people with a family history of cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes or high cholesterol.

– Pregnant women: high blood pressure during pregnancy can be dangerous for both mother and foetus.

– Medication users: people taking antihypertensive drugs or other drugs that can affect blood pressure.

What has a positive effect on blood pressure?

Blood pressure is affected by many factors and positive effects can be achieved in the following ways:

– A healthy diet: eat plenty of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein.
Avoid excessive intake of salt, sugar and saturated fats.

– Regular exercise: moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, cycling and swimming, can help lower blood pressure.

– Weight management: reducing excess weight can significantly improve blood pressure.

– Stop smoking: smoking raises blood pressure and damages blood vessels.

– Reducing alcohol consumption: excessive alcohol consumption can raise blood pressure, so moderate consumption is recommended.

– Stress management: reducing stress and using management techniques such as meditation and relaxation exercises can lower blood pressure.
