Keep it down ... blood pressure

Try to keep your blood pressure at ideal level of below 120/80. That's systolic at 120mmHg and diastolic at 80mmHg. How to remember this? My method is 120+80 = 200.

My blood pressure has been at below 120/80 for the past few months. My palse rate has been below 70/min, thanks for my regular exercise for the past 6 months.
