We all strive towards a healthy lifestyle but sometimes that can be difficult when the target keeps changing. Guidelines on cholesterol level management and optimal blood sugar range have changed over the last few years. Couple that with a new definition of obesity and it can leave even the most well-intentioned person confused. Here are the current guidelines as they stand now for blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight.

	Systolic Blood Pressure (top number)	Diastolic Blood Pressure (bottom number)
Normal Blood Pressure	less than 120	less than 80
Pre-hypertension	120-139	80-89
Hypertension	greater than 140	greater than 90
