Zona Plus-Series 3

Product Information

Aerobic exercise is activity that gets your heart and lungs working harder, and it can be anything from walking to swimming, to raking up leaves or cleaning the floor. Recognizing its effectiveness in naturally lowering blood pressure, the Zona Plus has been endorsed by The American Heart Association, the Mayo Clinic, and the Harvard Health Letter as a part of a hypertension management plan. Zona Plus Studies

I have naturally low blood pressure, so I can’t use the device too often, but I find it helpful when stress is mounting. It worked, but then they found it had a great side-effect – it had lowered the blood pressure of those pilots who’d had high blood pressure (and who were doing this hand-squeezing exercise regularly). 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.

Mind you, the effects take some time to manifest – it may take a month or two. So you need to keep doing it – you’ll continue to feel the benefits as long as you continue to do the exercises.

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. As you enter the actual workout, which is a total of 12 minutes split between 2 sessions on each hand, the Zona alerts you to either squeeze harder or squeeze less. Isometric exercises rely on the principle of “maximum voluntary contraction,” which means you are contracting your muscles but not moving any joints or limbs.From a series of studies out of Korea, we know that greater handgrip strength was associated with higher cognitive function scores in the elderly. 12 Jae Yong Jang , Junghoon Kim, Association between handgrip strength and cognitive impairment in elderly Koreans: a population-based cross-sectional study J Phys Ther Sci. 2015

Peer-reviewed studies suggest that poor handgrip strength is a powerful predictor of the increased risks of future disability, morbidity, and mortality. it balances your autonomic nervous system – which regulates all the things you don’t have to think about, including blood pressure

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. You probably know that regular aerobic/cardio exercise is important for reducing high blood pressure. If you need something stronger, you can always try these… (they come in a range of different strengths):

From this observation, the concept of using isometric exercise to lower blood pressure was born and ultimately the Zona Plus. 3 Zona Health, Discover the science behind the Zona Plus Zona Health. 2021 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. The Zona Plus (formerly called ‘CardioGrip’) is a more sophisticated version of the device originally used with the fighter pilots, and was developed by the same scientific team to focus specifically on lowering blood pressure. The Zona Plus uses the power of isometric exercise to induce a release of natural nitric oxide, a natural vasodilator that can lower blood pressure and relax your entire body.

The features and benefits of isometric exercise from using the Zona Plus.

Studies show that isometric handgrip exercises can increase “maximum voluntary contraction” and improve hypertension control. 1 Debra J Carlson , Gudrun Dieberg , Nicole C Hess , Philip J Millar , Neil A Smart, Isometric exercise training for blood pressure management: a systematic review and meta-analysis Mayo Clin Proc. 2014 MAG500 Magnesium, with Slow Release Technology: The MAG500's formula is uniquely designed for slow release to provide you with the health benefits of magnesium for a full eight hours. Your body can only handle so much magnesium at a time, so the slow-release technology delivers just the right amount throughout the day. Cheaper brands dump all the magnesium into your body at once creating, in many cases, a laxative effect. MAG500's independently-tested formula was specifically designed to avoid this issue while providing you with the full benefits of magnesium. Please visit www.vatellia.com for full details. But hanging in there until the end is worth it when you feel that nitric oxide release and a sense of calm runs its way through your body. Lowering your blood pressure naturally doesn’t have to be difficult. And it’s difficult not to enjoy feeling healthier and happier and more relaxed!
