✅ Best Practices for Accurate Tracking

To get the most reliable data from your new devices, consistency is key. Follow these simple guidelines:

When to Weigh Yourself

• Frequency: Once a day, first thing in the morning.

• Condition: After using the restroom, but before eating or drinking anything.

• Clothing: Wear as little clothing as possible.

When to Take Blood Pressure

• Timing: Same time each day (ideally morning).

• Preparation: Sit quietly for 5 minutes before measuring.

• Posture: Keep your feet flat on the floor and your arm resting on a surface at heart level.

Mindset

• Don't obsess over daily numbers. Weight and BP fluctuate based on hydration, salt, and stress.

• Focus on the trend. Look at the weekly and monthly averages rather than a single high or low reading.
