It's time to dial in accurate blood pressure readings. Every single time!
Checking your blood pressure can easily become one of those daily habits you do without thinking. Sort of like putting on a pair of shoes.
But would you ever walk out of the house with untied shoelaces? That’s what it’s like when you carelessly measure your blood pressure. It’s like putting on your shoes, but not tying them.
You’ll be going about your day, knowing something isn’t right. You'll be tripping along the way, feeling confused. This is why accuracy matters so much.
If accuracy doesn’t matter, I’m sure you wouldn’t like your favorite restaurant accidentally oversalting your food. By not using the right measurements…
Inaccurate blood pressure readings happen. Don’t worry though, there are 8 simple solutions to prevent this potentially costly mistake. All of which I’m about to tell you below.
Here are 8 uncommon tips to do before, and during your BP readings for the most accurate measurements.
Let’s start with the first four (4 tips to do before your readings, with a BONUS at the end)
Pressure Precision Tip #1
Avoid Cold Temperatures: Cold temperatures can cause vasoconstriction, leading to higher blood pressure readings. Try to measure your blood pressure in a warm and comfortable environment. (This includes avoiding cold beverages)
Pressure Precision Tip #2
Relax for Longer Periods: Resting for at least 10 minutes before measuring your blood pressure allows your body to reach a stable baseline. This extra relaxation period helps give you more accurate readings. (Get into a quiet, and relaxing environment)
Pressure Precision Tip #3
Diet before measuring: This is common knowledge at first, but many of us are forgetful, so here's a very important reminder to you.
If you ate, drank, smoked, or consumed alcohol. Maybe even caffeine within 30 minutes before taking your blood pressure readings, then your numbers are probably inflated. Keep your bladder and stomach empty 30 minutes before your readings for the most accurate results.
(Set a timer 30min before taking measurements)
Pressure Precision Tip #4
Proper Equipment: You’d be surprised how often this can happen. But make sure you have a calibrated, validated, and properly fitting blood pressure cuff. It should be fitted for your exact arm size, not too big or too small.
Using a wrong sized cuff can lead to wildly false readings. Some people have their readings off by 20 points because of this alone! (Check in with your doctor about verifying size)
Hope that wasn’t too much reading, let’s move onto the next four. (Important to follow these as well)
(Here are 4 more tips to do during your readings)
Pressure Precision Tip #5
Time of Measurement: Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day, as blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day. Consistency in timing allows for better tracking and comparison of readings. (Consistency = accuracy)
Pressure Precision Tip #6
Proper Cuff Placement: Ensure the blood pressure cuff is placed correctly. It should be positioned directly on the skin, not over clothing, and should fit snugly but not too tightly around the upper arm. Improper cuff placement can give false results. (Have a picture on your phone to remember where exactly the cuff goes)
Pressure Precision Tip #7
Mind Your Posture: As simple as it may seem, bad posture can screw up your readings. Make sure to sit up straight with your back supported against a chair backrest. Your feet should be flat on the floor, and your legs should not be crossed! Poor posture can affect blood flow and lead to false readings. (Practice good posture beforehand, or buy a posture corrector if needed)
Proper form:
-Sit up straight.
-Back is supported against a chair backrest.
-Feet flat on the floor.
-Legs should not be crossed.
Last tip! Good job on learning how to better take care of your overall health!
Pressure Precision Tip #8
Measure both arms: This is not often talked about. While it is generally recommended to use the same arm for consistency. Measuring blood pressure in both arms on separate occasions can help identify any significant variations.
Notify your healthcare provider if there is a consistent difference between your arms. (Both arms are not always equal in size)
I really hope you start applying these tips daily. So that you don’t live thinking your BP is higher or lower than it really is.
These are 8 tips to get super accurate readings every time.

Now back to the article..
Here’s the BONUS I mentioned above.
I encourage you to keep reading if you want to learn about a natural method to support healthy blood pressure. (Cost effective too!)
Here’s an easy way to naturally support healthy blood pressure. This method is delicious, simple, and takes just 1 minute per day.
Countless studies have shown that this ruby red vegetable has the ability to support healthy blood pressure. It’s even been considered a superfood for decades now!
The main problem is… It kinda tastes like dirt. And when you mix it in with water, you essentially get dirt water. Not tasty, not even drinkable. So what’s this red vegetable?
It’s none other than beets. You might have seen dietary supplements with beets, sometimes in the form of gummies or juice.
From lots of first hand tasting, we found out most brands taste AWFUL! And they also lack specific ingredients that help our bodies absorb the benefits of beets more effectively.
This really sucks because the benefits are there, lots of Incredible benefits.
Just to name a few:
Beets can do these 5 things and more:
- Support healthy blood pressure
- Enhance exercise performance
- Help fight inflammation
- Give you loads of nutrients
- Improve digestion
It’s too powerful of a food to ignore.
The major reason is because of the nitrates found inside. Our bodies need these nitrates to produce Nitric Oxide, which then helps support healthy blood pressure and more. You can read our blog about 7 warning signs of low Nitric Oxide here: Blog Post
My only clue is why so many people say NO to this superfood, especially those with high blood pressure. Is because of the taste.
On top of being a hard vegetable to cook with, you’ll resemble a meat butcher after cooking with it (It’s messy and staining).
I do have some good news though.
A team based in Vancouver WA spent months, and thousands of dollars to create a delicious and organic beet formula that doesn’t taste like dirt! It actually tastes delicious, like a light juice.
Not only does it taste delicious, but it only takes 1 scoop per day in 8oz of water to support healthy blood pressure!
The best part is that it works, and the reason is that all the ingredients inside our formula are organic.
Now don’t take my word for it.
Instead, listen to some of the 10,500+ reviews we got from raving customers who saw amazing improvements in their blood pressure readings within weeks.
Some customers even noticed blood pressure improvements in days!
Here are a few awesome reviews we got on our Organic Beets Formula:
(Customer Review)
“I have been taking this for almost 3 weeks now and I love it. I think I noticed an increase in my energy level on the very first day I took the Organic Beets. I have been feeling more energetic and my doctor said that it will most likely help with my anemia. My husband started taking it the same time I did and he swears he feels an energy boost early in the morning when he would usually be dragging. We are both hooked and will definitely continue taking this product.”
(Customer Review)
“I was lacking energy throughout my workout so I started using the nitric oxide organic beets powder before a workout and I noticed a huge increase in my energy level. I mixed the powder in about half a cup of cold water with a splash of orange juice because the flavor is very concentrated. I highly recommend this product, it works wonders!”
