The next time you visit the <br \/>doctor, you ask the nurse&#8217;s aide to tell you. That is after she finishes putting the cuff on your arm, <br \/>pumping it until you think your arm is going to explode, and then she rattles off a number&#8230; <br \/>124\/86. Well, that is fine, but what does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>A blood pressure reading measures the pumping action of the heart. The first number is a reading <br \/>of the systolic pressure, or the pressure exerted by your heart to pump oxygenated blood into the <br \/>aorta, the largest blood vessel in the body. This vessel branches off into other, smaller vessels <br \/>that oxygenate every organ, tissue and cell in your body. The bottom number, a diastolic <br \/>pressure, reads your heart at rest, or between beats.<\/p>\n<p>Blood pressure readings for healthy individuals will usually range around120\/80. Some people <br \/>may have varying numbers like 124\/82 or 126\/84 or so. You always get your blood pressure <br \/>reading in even numbers, but if someone does give you a reading with an odd number, just round <br \/>up to keep things simple. Keep in mind that your age, weight, exercise level and diet may also <br \/>have much to do with a blood pressure reading. Some people who exercise a lot and are healthy <br \/>have blood pressures hovering around 110 over 70, and that is normal, for them. The same goes <br \/>if the numbers are a little higher.<\/p>\n<p>However, a normal blood pressure reading becomes a high blood pressure reading when those <br \/>numbers reach around 140\/90 or so. There are several different levels typical to high blood <br \/>pressure, or hypertension, so speak to your doctor if your levels are over the 126\/86 ranges.<\/p>\n<p>It is difficult to pinpoint a single cause for high blood pressure, as many factors usually coincide <br \/>to produce the condition. For some, high blood pressure is inherited, and African-Americans <br \/>suffer more from high blood pressure, or hypertension, than Caucasians. Medical issues may also <br \/>cause a rise in a normal blood pressure reading, so it is a good idea to have your pressure checked <br \/>at least periodically. Nearly 65 million Americans suffer from high blood pressure, and countless <br \/>others who have not been diagnosed are walking around with the condition without even <br \/>realizing it.<\/p>\n<p>As people age, high blood pressure becomes more prevalent. However, preserving a healthy <br \/>weight, exercising regularly and eating a well-balanced diet will help to prevent high blood <br \/>pressure. Stay away from excess salt, alcohol and high fat diets, and if you smoke, try to quit. <br \/>Studies have shown that certain medications may cause high blood pressure, so speak to your <br \/>doctor about risks if you are taking certain prescription drugs.<\/p>\n<p>A normal blood pressure reading may not seem like a big deal to many people, but as we grow <br \/>older, it may mean the difference between a healthy, active lifestyle, or sitting your later years out <br \/>on the bench. Take an active part in your health, especially heart health, and your body, and your <br \/>family and friends, will thank you for it.<\/p>\n<p><small style=\"color:#666666;background-color: #ffffff;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGet the latest in normal blood pressure reading know how from the only true source at <a target=\"_new\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bloodpressurefile.com\">http:\/\/www.bloodpressurefile.com<\/a>.
