Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) refers to the fluctuations in the time intervals between consecutive heartbeats. It's a natural bodily function that reflects how well your body responds to stress and recovers. A higher HRV indicates a healthier autonomic nervous system and better resilience to stress, while a lower HRV may suggest stress or poor health. Factors influencing HRV include physical activity, sleep quality, and emotional state. Monitoring HRV can provide insights into overall well-being, helping individuals understand their stress levels and recovery status.
