About this deal
Peer-reviewed studies suggest that poor handgrip strength is a powerful predictor of the increased risks of future disability, morbidity, and mortality. The Zona Plus takes this further by providing personalized exercise therapy based on your individual strength. This might not sound like much but it turns out that doing it regularly can lower your blood pressure over time.
The pressure exerted against resistance without joint movement is known as an “isometric contraction.”
According to the Zona Plus manufacturers, it’s quite a narrow window between what’s not enough and what’s too much, so they say you can’t get the same effects by just squeezing a ball or handgripper…. If you need something stronger, you can always try these… (they come in a range of different strengths): UPDATE 2020: Please note that we no longer recommend purchasing the Zona Plus – not due to any problem with the device itself but due to our loss of trust in the company behind the Zona Plus. See our Zona Plus Review for some details.
Hand-grip exercises are safe to do for pretty much everyone. The main exceptions are if you have problems with your hands, like arthritis, or carpal tunnel syndrome, in which case you might find it too difficult to squeeze effectively. Many studies have been done since then on the effects of doing isometric handgrip exercises for lower blood pressure, and a report published by the American Heart Association in April 2013 concluded that such handgrip exercises produce “significant reductions” in blood pressure. it balances your autonomic nervous system – which regulates all the things you don’t have to think about, including blood pressureThis evidence shows the importance of incorporating exercises like that provided by the Zona Plus into your day for better overall cognitive health. Isometric hand-grip exercise affects blood pressure in a different way to aerobic exercise so it’s worth doing, even if you’re getting plenty aerobic exercise. Also, this hand-grip exercise on its own has been shown to be effective at lowering blood pressure, so if you’re not able to be more active, it’s a great way to improve your blood pressure.
