The "good" range for blood values varies significantly depending on what blood component you're measuring. There isn't a single "blood good range." Instead, we need to specify the blood component. Here are some examples:
Hemoglobin
- Men: 13.5 to 17.5 g/dL
- Women: 12.0 to 15.5 g/dL
These ranges represent the normal hemoglobin levels for adult men and women. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Levels outside these ranges may indicate anemia or other health issues.
Blood Pressure
Normal blood pressure for most adults is considered to be a systolic pressure (top number) of less than 120 and a diastolic pressure (bottom number) of less than 80 mmHg. However, high blood pressure is defined as consistently having systolic readings of 130 mmHg or higher, or diastolic readings of 80 mmHg or higher.

Blood Glucose (Fasting)
The expected normal fasting blood glucose concentration is between 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) and 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L). Levels below 70 mg/dL are considered low (hypoglycemia), while levels consistently above 100 mg/dL may indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes. (Source: WHO and Northeast Medical Group)
Blood Oxygen Saturation
A normal pulse oximeter reading for blood oxygen saturation is typically between 95% and 100%. Lower levels may indicate respiratory problems. (Cleveland Clinic)
Triglycerides
Normal triglyceride levels are generally considered to be less than 150 mg/dL. Higher levels may increase the risk of heart disease. (Mayo Clinic)
