Healthy Living
Purchasing this blood pressure monitor is your first step in living
a healthier life, but it is only the beginning. It is also important
to:
STAY ACTIVE - Start out by taking just a short walk each
day. Over time you'll begin to feel more energetic. Walking is a
fun, easy way to help lose weight and also aids in building
stronger bones and a healthier heart!
EAT HEALTHY - Adding more fruits and vegetables to your
diet is a great way to start. Also, look at incorporating more
whole grains, fish and low fat dairy products and keep a check
on your sodium intake. If you're using a blood pressure monitor,
you should already be aware of how sodium can affect your
blood pressure. As always, consult your physician before beginning any dietary changes.

STAY POSITIVE - A healthy mind goes hand in hand with a
healthy body. Daily relaxation techniques such as meditation and
yoga may be just what you need to alleviate stress. Keep your
mind focused on the positive things in life. Start out by giving
yourself a pat on the back for those walks you are now taking or
that apple you just ate!
WATCH YOUR WEIGHT - Sometimes just a small amount
of weight loss may have a positive effect on your blood pressure.
If you have already started exercising and eating healthier, the
weight loss may just happen on its own!
REMEMBER: Consult your physician before you start or
change your exercise routine, diet, vitamin/supplement intake
and/or blood pressure monitoring.

Why Should I Monitor My Blood Pressure At Home?
By monitoring at home you can manage your health care between
visits to the doctor. Also, you now have the means to keep a record
of your blood pressure measurements, a valuable tool for both you
and your healthcare provider.
Home monitoring may help alleviate White Coat Hypertension.
This term refers to what may cause a person's blood pressure to
be higher when taken in a medical setting. At times the stress of
just being in a doctor's office may cause blood pressure to rise.
When monitoring at home you may get a truer indication of your
blood pressure because you are in a relaxed, comfortable space.
What is Blood Pressure?
The term "blood pressure" refers to the force or pressure that is
exerted on the body's arteries as blood flows through them. Each
time the heart beats or contracts, it produces pressure in the arteries. This blood pressure is what moves blood through the body,
supplying oxygen and nutrients to every organ.
Commonly Asked Questions About Blood Pressure
Commonly Asked Questions
About Blood Pressure

When the heart contracts it sends blood out into
the body. This pressure is referred to as systolic.
The pressure that is created as
the heart pulls blood back thorough is called diastolic.
Blood Pressure is recorded as
systolic over diastolic.
What is considered Normal Blood Pressure?
The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on
Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood
Pressure from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute has
set forth the following guidelines regarding high blood pressure.
Guidelines provided are for information purposes only. Please
consult with your physician for proper diagnosis.

Why Does My Blood Pressure Fluctuate?
Blood pressure changes with every beat of the heart and is in
constant fluctuation throughout the day. In addition to natural
changes, other factors that may affect blood pressure are:

How Do I Know If I Have High Blood Pressure?
People have the misconception that they can "feel" their blood
pressure rise. In reality it is nearly impossible to tell if your pressure is elevated without having it checked. This is why hypertension has been named "the silent killer". Start monitoring your
blood pressure today and discuss the results with your healthcare
professional.
Why Is It Important To Control My Blood Pressure?
Left uncontrolled hypertension can place an incredible amount of
stress on your heart and arteries. They are both forced to work
harder to keep blood flowing through your body. Over time this
stress may result in health related problems including enlargement
of the heart, loss of artery elasticity, heart disease, stroke or death.
Making simple lifestyle changes now may help you stay healthy in
the future.

Commonly Asked Questions About Blood Pressure/Intended Use
Intended Use
Healthy Living blood pressure monitors are designed for home
use. They are noninvasive; no part enters your body, and provide
systolic, diastolic and pulse rate measurements. These monitors
are not recommended for use by people under 18 years of age and
are not suitable for clinical use.
9
Healthy Living monitors measure blood pressure and pulse rate
by using an oscillometric method, meaning the fluctuations in
pressure are measured. Once the cuff is wrapped around the
upper arm, the monitor is turned on and the cuff is automatically inflated. The inflation of the cuff creates pressure around the
arteries inside the arm. Within the cuff is a gauge which senses the fluctuations (oscillations) in pressure. The fluctuations
measured are the arteries contracting with each heart beat as a
result of the pressure the cuff has placed on the arm. The monitor measures these contractions and converts the information
to a digital value. That is the result displayed on the monitor
screen. Once the measurement is complete the cuff will automatically deflate.

Important information before using the unit
Blood pressure measurements should be interpreted by a physician
or trained health professional who is familiar with one's medical
history. By using the unit regularly and recording the results for the
physician to interpret, one can keep the physician informed of the
continuing trends in one's blood pressure.
Sit quietly for about 10 minutes. This will allow your body to return
to its normal resting state.
Wrap the cuff snug around your upper arm and lay your arm on a
flat surface at the same level as your heart. Your feet should be flat
on the floor.
Do not move the device during the taking of a measurement; this
may cause an inaccurate measurement.
Perform the measurement in a quiet environment, in a relaxed position at room temperature. For consistency, we recommend using
the same arm (left arm if possible) and testing around the same
time each day.
Important information before
using the unit
•
•
•
•
•
If taking multiple measurements, please allow 10 minutes
between measurements. This will allow your blood vessels to return to their normal state.
If you have consumed beverages containing caffeine or
have smoked, please allow 30 - 45 minutes before taking
your measurement.
Do not place the cuff over a jacket
or sweater sleeve; it must be
wrapped around your exposed
upper arm.
Keep in mind that blood pressure
naturally varies from time to time
throughout the day and is affected
by many different factors, such as
smoking, alcohol consumption,
medication, and physical activity.
Make sure the cuff plug is attached to the monitor as
shown above.
