People are living longer these day and expect to enjoy a better quality of life as they age than earlier generations. The term “senior citizen” has taken on a whole new meaning, giving rise to the saying “60 is the new 40″! Taking care of ourselves is a vital part of extending lifespans and this means eating properly, taking some sort of exercise and monitoring our health. Doctor visits are not cheap so it is important to do everything we can to take care of our own health and to avoid preventable and expensive medical procedures. Fortunately we now have access to advanced medical equipment which we can use right in our own homes. For example, the invention of the portable blood pressure monitor has been a real lifesaver in detecting a potentially deadly condition which affects roughly one third of all Americans. Cost does not have to be a deterrent either as this type of equipment is within most budgets today.
