What do the Systolic and Diastolic readings associated with blood pressure mean? What are considered normal levels?

Systolic blood pressure is the "top" number and diastolic blood pressure is the bottom number. Obviously, with your heart contracting to push blood through the veins and then not contracting, there needs to be a number for both when the heart is contracting and when it is at rest, like in between beats. The top number represents the blood pressure when the heart is contracting and the bottom number represents the blood pressure in between heartbeats.So your systolic blood pressure is how high the pressure gets at it's peak when the heart contracts, and the diastolic blood pressure is the low number, representing the lowest pressure when the herat is between beats.

A good reading is around 110's/70's. 130/90 is the high side of normal and 100/60 is the low side of normal.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
