Blood Pressure Goal

Blood pressure goal refers to the target range that health professionals recommend maintaining to ensure heart and overall health. It is usually expressed as two numbers: systolic (the pressure when the heart beats) over diastolic (the pressure when the heart rests). For most adults, a common goal is below 120/80 mmHg. Keeping blood pressure in this range can help prevent serious health issues like heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Regular monitoring and lifestyle choices, like a balanced diet and exercise, play an essential role in achieving and maintaining this goal.
