Deep dives
Understanding Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) refers to the variation in time intervals between heartbeats, a metric that provides insight into an individual's heart health, brain function, and overall well-being. HRV is measured in milliseconds, with the most favorable outcomes characterized by larger oscillations, indicating adaptability and resilience of the autonomic nervous system. While a higher HRV is generally associated with better health, individuals have unique HRV ranges that reflect their physiological state. Factors such as stress, lifestyle choices, and even emotional well-being can influence an individual’s HRV, making it imperative to track one's variations over time.
