The lower your resting heart rate, the better. True? Why?
In: Biology
Not always the case. Bradycardia can be deadly. But in general, your resting heart rate is an indication of your level of fitness. If you have a stronger, healthier heart, it doesn’t have to work as hard to circulate your blood. The most simple way to gauge this is your resting heart rate. A heart that can perfuse the body by beating 40 times a minute is inherently stronger than one that needs to beat 50 times. Again, this is a very simplistic way to evaluate heart health but that’s the gist of it.
