Lifesource has manufactured an easy to use, reasonably priced, accurate blood pressure monitor for home use.  The lifesource blood pressure monitor requires 4 AA batteries, and has an Easy Cuff that you strap around your arm.  The monitor will store the most recent 30 measurements of your blood pressure with it’s on board memory so that you can make day to day comparisons, and also have the readings portable to share with your doctor.  Monitoring your blood pressure is very important. The causes of high or low blood pressure are still unknown.  Blood pressure that is too high, or too low can lead to heart disease, organ damage, strokes, or in extreme cases, death. There are many factors that affect your blood pressure.  Your age, weight, heredity, certain foods and medications, any emotional stress you may have, and your physical activity, or lack of, all play a critical role in maintaining a healthy blood pressure.
