A "good pressure" typically refers to normal blood pressure, which varies depending on your age and gender. Blood pressure is measured with two numbers: the systolic pressure (the top number), which is the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats, and the diastolic pressure (the bottom number), which is the pressure when your heart rests between beats.
Based on data from the Heart Research Institute, here are the normal blood pressure ranges by age and gender:
Normal Blood Pressure Ranges by Age and Gender
| Age | Women | Men |
|---|---|---|
| 18–39 years | 110/68 mm Hg | 119/70 mm Hg |
| 40–59 years | 122/74 mm Hg | 124/77 mm Hg |
| 60+ years | 139/68 mm Hg | 133/69 mm Hg |

It's important to note that these are general ranges, and individual ideal blood pressure can vary slightly. Regularly checking your blood pressure is crucial for monitoring your health.
