Understanding Heart Rate Variability

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a powerful indicator of your overall health and stress levels. In this article, we'll explore what HRV is, why it matters, and how you can use it to improve your well-being.

What is Heart Rate Variability?

Heart Rate Variability refers to the variation in time between consecutive heartbeats. While it might seem counterintuitive, a healthy heart doesn't beat like a metronome. Instead, there are slight variations in the intervals between beats, which is actually a sign of good health.

Why HRV Matters

HRV is an important indicator of your autonomic nervous system's function. A higher HRV typically indicates better cardiovascular fitness and stress resilience, while a lower HRV may suggest increased stress or potential health issues.
