Blood pressure is measured by two different numbers, the first is your ‘systolic’ pressure, and the second is your ‘diastolic’ pressure. Systolic represents your blood pressure during the period of ventricular contraction in your heart, and diastolic pressure represents your blood pressure when the atria are contracting and the ventricles are filling up. Because the ventricles are the larger and more muscular heart chambers, the systolic reading is always higher than the diastolic.

Blood pressure readings are given as systolic over diastolic. An example would be 120 over 80, which is considered to be a textbook standard for healthy blood pressure. Systolic readings from 100 to 140 and diastolic readings of between 70 and 90 are considered the normal range. A systolic pressure of more than 140, a diastolic higher than 90, or both is considered high blood pressure.

A number of different factors can contribute to high blood pressure. First of all, an inactive, sedentary lifestyle greatly increases you likelihood of developing high blood pressure. Being overweight will also likely result in a high blood pressure. Both weight and a lack of exercise contribute to high cholesterol, which in turn boosts blood pressure.
