It’s not unusual to clock $200 Airpods, DeWalt toolkits, or fancy espresso machines dominating Amazon’s trending deals list. But today, a blood pressure monitor is a No.1 best-seller.
Believe it or not, this little heart health tracking gadget could be the star of the retailer’s highly-anticipated Big Spring Sale, which runs from March 25 to 31. It’s knocked down to just $30, and over 80,000 shoppers have rushed to pick it up in the past month alone.
Are we surprised? Not so much. The reality is that stress levels seem to be spiking and the pressure is on. They say Spring showers bring May flowers, but it’s hard to deny that March has been off to a more-than-shaky start. Life has us tense and for some good reasons.
Global leaders have teased a trade war as President Trump hit Canada, Mexico, and China with tariffs. The markets had their worst trading day since 2022, and experts expect prices at the grocery store to jump as well. The days of TikTok could be numbered as a ban looms, a norovirus outbreak rocked a cruise ship for the second time this year, and microplastics could be slowly killing us.
Just writing this is enough to put my body into fight-or-flight mode, and I don’t think I’m alone. According to The Mayo Clinic, the body releases a wave of hormones under stress, which could cause the heart to beat faster, blood vessels to narrow, and blood pressure to surge.
Hence, a Bluetooth-connected blood pressure monitor actually seems like a no-brainer when you think about it. Not only is it easy to operate on a smartphone, but it’s built for everyday use, making it easier than ever to monitor your health and wellness wherever you go.
It’s not just for individuals with medical concerns, or health-nuts like Bryan Johnson, but now, for all of us who feel like we’re struggling to stay calm in the chaos.
