KNOW YOUR NUMBERS

Blood pressure is an extremely

important indicator of good health,

so we should all know our systolic

(the top number) from our diastolic

(the bottom number).

Systolic measures the pressure

in your arteries when your heart

beats, pushing the blood through

them to the rest of your body;

diastolic measures the pressure

in your arteries between beats,

when your heart relaxes. A normal

reading is between 90 and 120 for

systolic, and between 60 and 80

for diastolic.

As we get older, our arteries

harden slightly, which means

our systolic number will increase

although our diastolic number will

probably stay the same. So don’t

panic if you’re over 65 and your

systolicnumber goes up to 140!
