Yes.
I also see that you have been asking very general questions such as "How often should I turn off my MBP"
Instead of doing this, try using MRoogle.*************, the macrumors search engine before posting.

Consider anything above 79% healthy if you haven't performed 1000 cycles on it yet. Also, remember to calibrate it for proper readings.

Yes, it's fine. Have you calibrated it properly, to make sure your readings are accurate?
This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions: Apple Notebook Battery FAQ
I havent calibrated my battery and the notebook guideline says that you have to calibrate it within the first week. Is it okay if i calibrate it after about 5 months of use?

so i keep it into the fully charged state for two hours long than i unplug the charger and let it go to low battery?

The exact steps are in the Battery FAQ I posted. Look at the "CALIBRATION" section.
