There are a number of crucial body parameter that are advised to include a person in their routine checkup, like glucose levels, blood pressure readings. However individual always percept that these parameters can only be checked at a doctor’s clinic.

Well, if you think so, then you really need to know about some efficient health devices that help you measure these body parameters by yourself and too easily at your home, without visiting any doctor’s clinic.

Why Body Parameters Need A Regular Monitoring? 

Today, the chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and other have become quite common in people among all ages, and nothing but our changed lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits, stress, lack of good sleep and regular exercise are the reasons responsible for it. The increasing pollution and the rampant germ present in the air also lead to several respiratory issues thereby effecting our lungs and pulse rate.

 The prominent point about these health illnesses are, they do not occur in a body suddenly, instead they develop in our body slowly and gradually. Thus, it is advised every individual, must monitor the four vital body parameters of a human system, namely BT (Body Temperature), BP (Blood Pressure), HR (Heart Rate or Pulse) and RR (Respiratory Rate or Breathing Rate).

In addition, consistent checks of blood sugar levels and body weight changes are also equally important.

How Regular Monitoring Of Body Parameters Help?

The crucial benefit of regular monitoring of these body parameters help an individual diagnose the symptoms of any serious illness at its early stages. Any serious illness if diagnosed early in an individual, is operated with proper medication and treatment on time, that can improve the effectiveness of treatment and quality of life in later years.

Here are listed some five basic healthcare device or health monitors that every individual must have in their household, these devices should be used for the regular observation of the important body attributes.

Blood Glucose Monitoring Device……

People who have been diagnosed with diabetes, especially with type two diabetes symptoms, must keep a blood glucose monitoring device in their household. They should use this equipment to monitor the glucose level in their blood so that they can immediately report any extreme fluctuations in glucose levels in their bloodstream, to their doctor, and get the necessary medical care on time.

Pulse Oximeters……….

This equipment is used to detect the oxygen concentration level in your blood. Good oxygen concentration level in your blood ensure sufficient transport of oxygen to all organs in the body, for their normal functioning. When there is inadequate oxygen in blood, it causes hypoxemia, which could result in failure of vital organs such as the heart and brain. The pulse oximeter is advantageous in such instances, to guarantee prompt medical care for the affected person.

Blood Pressure Measuring Device……..

This apparatus is very relevant for those people suffering from high BP (hypertension) or low BP (hypotension), as they are advised to check their blood pressure on a daily basis and report it to their doctors. It also helps gauge the direct effect of prescription medication in standardizing the blood pressure of an individual. The normal blood pressure of a person is usually around 110/70 to 120/80.

Pedometers And Weighing Scales……

A pedometer is a simple instrument that displays the number of steps you have walked and the proportional calories burned during that activity. A weighing scale measures your body weight and is very beneficial, as sudden fluctuations in mass can signal severe underlying conditions like hormonal imbalance or irregular lipid metabolism. A healthy body weight is indicated by a BMI (Body Mass Index) between 18.5 and 24.9.

Thermometers

This basic device is very essential in every home, particularly in the monsoon and winter, when there is an epidemic of fever, cold and flu. The thermometer can indicate if the body temperature is higher or lower than normal, thus helping decide the appropriate course of prescription medicines and ensuring a speedy recovery. The normal temperature of the human body is between 970F to 990F or 360C to 37.50C.
