According to John Tesh’s Intelligence for Your Life, “if you think it’s impossible to find time each day to improve your health, then here’s some good news.” For example: Check your heart rate when you wake up in the morning.
Place two fingers on the thumb-side of your wrist. Your fingers will be between the bone and the tendon. You will be feeling the radial artery.
Once you feel the pulse count the number of beats in 15 seconds. Multiply that number by four and you have the number of beats per minute. It is easy!
In a One-Minute Health Tip, Tesh writes that “healthy people should count about 60 beats, but if you count 90 beats or more, Dr. Oz says you’re three times more likely to die from heart disease! To lower your pulse, add more salmon to your diet, since salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which lower blood pressure and the risk of heart rhythm disorders.”
For more information, Mayo Clinic fitness expert, Edward R. Laskowski, M.D., answers questions about what is a normal resting heart rate.
If you or someone you know has atrial-fibrillation (aFib), also check out info from Cleveland Clinic.
