Blood pressure is the force of your blood going through you body. Your systole number is the force of the blood coming from the heart, and the average number is 120. Your diastole is the force of the blood returning to the heart, and the average number is 80. Your systole number is higher than your diastole number because the heart has to beat greater in order to get the blood to the upper half of your body, which means it has to defy gravity. :)
