Blood Pressure and Heart Health
What is a normal range for blood pressure? Ideally, you want a systolic blood pressure (first or top number) to be between 90 and 120 mm/Hg. The diastolic blood pressure (second or bottom number) should be between 60 and 80 mm/Hg. So a blood pressure between 120/80 and 90/60 is good. This means your heart is working at optimum efficiency without excessive force against the walls of blood vessels but with enough force to get oxygenated blood to the rest of your body.
