Blood Pressure
As our hearts beat, blood is pumped around the body to provide energy and oxygen. As it moves, the blood pushes against the side of the blood vessels. The strength of this pushing is blood pressure.
Managing your blood pressure is an integral part of keeping your heart healthy. A normal level of blood pressure is usually about 120 (systolic) over 80 (diastolic). If your blood pressure is 140 over 90 or higher (or 140 over 80 if you have diabetes) you should discuss this reading with your doctor.
