Wondering what the best HRV score is for your age and gender? Pulsetto has created an easy-to-follow guide to help you set your heart rate variability goals and improve your overall health.
Heart rate variability (or HRV) is one of the primary biomarkers for overall health. Which is why all the fitness mega-influencers are always banging on about their HRV score – but what exactly is it?
Find out everything you need to know about HRV and how to improve it with Pulsetto at https://pulsetto.tech/blogs/blog/what-is-a-good-heart-rate-variability-score-hrv-chart-for-age-gender
Your HRV score is based on the variation in time between each beat of your heart. This can be influenced by several factors, including age, gender, lifestyle, and environment. Your heart rate is linked to your autonomic nervous system and is, therefore, a good indicator of your overall health.
In clinical studies, those with a higher HRV score were shown to have better cardiovascular health and resilience to stress. However, even in athletes, HRV was shown to decline between the ages of 20 and 40. But fear not, the new guide from Pulsetto suggests that this reduction can be slowed or even reversed by altering lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, and improved sleep quality. Oh…and lowering your stress!
Stress has repeatedly been shown to increase cortisol levels and decrease HRV scores across all ages and gender groups. Pulsetto’s guide says that using a vagus nerve stimulator could help reduce stress, allowing your heart rate variability to return to its optimal levels.
The guide recommends using a quality stimulation device that targets the vagus nerve specifically to minimize any potential discomfort or other side effects. Pulsetto’s own vagus nerve stimulator delivers low-level electrical pulses to the nerve, while worn around the neck.
Did you know that, on average, men have higher HRV scores until around the age of 50? Pulsetto has shared the average HRV scores according to the latest studies. Use them as a benchmark for setting your own fitness goals.
