How to maintain your normal blood pressure

Blood pressure is a vital sign that measures the force of blood against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps it throughout your body. It is measured using two numbers: systolic pressure (the top number) and diastolic pressure (the bottom number). A normal blood pressure reading is around 120/80 mmHg, but readings can vary. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high, putting extra strain on the heart and blood vessels.
