The heart beats between 2.5 billion and 3 billion times in a person's lifetime. The often said "whoever finishes the beat first, who goes first" is actually telling us that there is a certain relationship between the frequency of the heartbeat and the lifespan. Within a certain range, people with slower heartbeats tend to live longer. So, how do you measure your heart rate?
First, we need to understand how to properly measure heart rate. Generally speaking, people's heart rate and pulse number are the same, so TCM often uses pulse to understand the health of the body. However, if there is an arrhythmia, the pulse and number of heartbeats may vary, and this condition can be disregarded for the time being. When measuring your heart rate, you should be quiet and avoid strenuous exercise or irritating foods. The easiest way to do this is to measure it by "taking the pulse", which is within the normal range if the heart rate is between 60-100 beats per minute.
However, studies have shown that a heart rate of 50 to 80 beats per minute is the healthiest when the heart beats are at rest, and more than 80 beats is considered a fast heartbeat. If the heartbeat is slow, less than 50 beats per minute, it can lead to insufficient blood supply to vital organs. Experts believe that while the speed of the heartbeat can reflect some health problems, it does not directly determine the length of life. Lifespan is affected by a variety of factors, such as genetics, lifestyle habits, etc.
Although the speed of the heartbeat does not fully reflect the length of life, the heart rate value can reflect some problems. For a normal adult, the heart rate should be maintained at 60-100 beats per minute. If you are a regular athlete or a person who does physical labor, your heart rate may be slightly lower, but it will generally not fall below 50 beats per minute. If your heart rate is less than 50 minutes or higher than 100 minutes, there may be something wrong with your body.
In addition, a fast heart rate may also increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. When the heart rate increases, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, which may increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, heart rate control has become an important goal in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
So, what are some possible causes of a fast heartbeat?Common causes include constant mental stress and mental stress, long-term consumption of strong tea, strong coffee and alcohol, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, and obesity. We should pay enough attention to these conditions and take corresponding measures to protect our heart health.
There are a number of ways we can protect our heart health. First of all, increasing exercise is an effective way to lower your resting heart rate. Secondly, it is also important to limit the intake of stimulants, such as caffeine and nicotine, which can increase dehydration and the burden on the heart. Secondly, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, maintaining a healthy weight, learning to reduce stress, being in touch with nature, and massaging your hands and feet regularly are all ways to help protect your heart. In addition, improving the body's immunity and delaying cell aging is also one of the important ways to protect heart health.
