Basically blood pressure is the pressure in which your blood is pushed away from the heart to the other parts of your body. So the force in which the heart has to use to pump that blood is the blood pressure. This is called the systolic pressure. The harder your heart has to work to pump the blood, the higher your pressure will be. There's a secondary pressure is called diastolic pressure. This is the second force where your heart rests between pumps. So you will have 2 numbers for blood pressure, the systolic and the diastolic. You want your heart to work as little as possible to pump the blood through your body.
