Understanding Heart Rate Variability (HRV) 💕

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures heartbeat variation over time, influenced by the autonomic nervous system:

  1. Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS): Increases heart rate and blood pressure in response to stress.
  2. Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS): Promotes relaxation, reduces heart rate and blood pressure.

Higher HRV indicates a healthy cardiovascular system, while lower HRV suggests stress and potential health issues. Learn more about HRV and its importance.
