[REVIEW] Ozeri Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Arm Cuff



Ozeri offers a lot of awesome products. I had the opportunity to try their Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with arm cuff.  First off, I believe that this is something very useful to have in your home because  it is always nice to know if your blood pressure is healthy! I’ve checked mine a few times and mine is well into the healthy range. I need to be checking my husband’s more to keep an eye on it because the one time we tried it on him, it said that he was prehypertension but I can’t remember when he took it as far as if he recently ate or not. Apparently, that’s something that can affect the outcome. You’re not supposed to check your blood pressure within an hour of eating. So maybe keep that in mind for yourself because maybe I’m not the only one that didn’t know that tidbit of information. There are a few people, at least in my family that could have use in this product!
Ozeri’s Digital Blood Pressure Monitor was very easy to use. It has the base that has the information on it, etc. It also comes with an arm cuff that has a picture of how to place it on your arm correctly.  To help you determine whether or not you’re normal, prehypertension, and hypertension- it has an automatic color-coded indicator. I love the other features like there’s a detection for an irregular heartbeat! The digital Blood Pressure Monitor also stores 80 readings which for each one has a date and time stamp. All this monitor needs is 4 AA batteries and you can find out if you have normal blood pressure. Having normal blood pressure is important for starters, if its consistently not, you would need to take blood pressure medication which you can get off of but if it was as easy as that, you would think that people would change their health habits to not be on it to begin with. Having high pressure  puts you at risk for heart disease and stroke! Also having high blood pressure can mostly be prevented.

I’m copying these facts that I seen on the CDC’s Blood Pressure website:

  • 67 million American adults (31%) have high blood pressure—that’s 1 in every 3 American adults.
  • 69% of people who have a first heart attack, 77% of people who have a first stroke, and 74% of people with chronic heart failure have high blood pressure.3 High blood pressure is also a major risk factor for kidney disease.
  • More than 348,000 American deaths in 2009 included high blood pressure as a primary or contributing cause.
  • High blood pressure costs the nation $47.5 billion annually in direct medical expenses and$3.5 billion each year in lost productivity.
  • About half (47%) of people with high blood pressure have their condition under control.
  • Almost 30% of American adults have prehypertension—blood pressure numbers that are higher than normal, but not yet in the high blood pressure range.3 Prehypertension raises your risk of developing high blood pressure.
  • Reducing average population sodium intake from 3,300 mg to 2,300 mg per day may reduce cases of high blood pressure by 11 million and save 18 billion health care dollars annually.

You can look at Ozeri’s website to find out more information about their products! You can purchase their products on Amazon, Sears, like I said, they have a lot of products to offer people! You can also find them on Facebook.
