Why Your Need to Pay Attention to Your Resting Heart Rate

Your resting heart rate, the number of times your heart beats per minute while at rest, is a crucial indicator of your overall health and longevity. While a range of 60 to 100 beats per minute is generally considered normal, recent studies suggest that consistently exceeding 80 beats per minute may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and other chronic conditions.

Factors influencing resting heart rate include stress levels, diet, exercise habits, and underlying health issues. Monitoring your resting heart rate can be done easily at home using simple techniques or smart devices, providing valuable insights into your health status. To maintain a healthy resting heart rate, experts recommend a balanced diet, regular aerobic exercise, and stress management techniques, while also advising consultation with a healthcare professional if concerning symptoms arise.
