About the Normal Heart Rate Range and

Proper Management Methods

When a person becomes nervous, the sympathetic nervous system, which activates the body, is triggered and the heart rate rises sharply.

If you become too tense, your ability to cope also decreases, so if your heart rate rises excessively in situations such as before an interview, it can be difficult to respond as you usually would.

Today, I will explain in detail the normal heart rate range, what happens when the heart rate becomes higher or lower, and how to manage and prevent it.

In the cold winter season, immunity tends to decline, making it easier to be exposed to various diseases. In particular, if your heart beats faster than other people’s, you need to pay attention to immune health.

Heart rate refers to the number of heartbeats in one minute, and it can vary depending on overall health, age, and usual activity level.

Generally, the normal resting heart rate for adults is known to be 60 to 100 beats per minute, and the younger the age, the higher the heart rate.

The normal heart rate range is closely related not only to cardiovascular disease but also to the possibility of developing diabetes. Regardless of sex, people with a heart rate of 80 bpm or higher have a 2.2 times greater risk of developing diabetes than the general population.

If you lower your heart rate by 5 bpm or more, you can reduce the risk of developing diabetes, and improving your lifestyle habits is important to keep it stable.

First, regular exercise, especially moderate-intensity aerobic exercise such as walking, cycling, and swimming, about 3 to 5 times a week, is helpful.

If you consistently do aerobic exercise at 60 to 80% of your maximum heart rate at least three times a week for more than three months and then measure your resting heart rate, you can see that your heart rate has decreased.

In addition, performing relaxation movements such as yoga, meditation, and stretching before bed can also help train your ability to cope with stress responses.

It is also important to stay well hydrated. If your body lacks water and develops dehydration, the viscosity of your blood increases and your heart has to work harder.

To maintain circulation, the heart beats faster than before, and excessive drinking and caffeine intake have a diuretic effect, causing dehydration.

Not only that, but they also interfere with smooth sleep, so you should avoid them because unstable heart rates during sleep can make bedtime irregular.

If your heart rate is too high, it means your heart is beating rapidly, and in severe cases, heart-related diseases such as arrhythmia may be accompanied, so special caution is needed.

Conversely, if your heart rate is too low, at 50 beats per minute or less, it may not supply enough blood smoothly, and symptoms such as dizziness and shortness of breath may occur.

Recently, it has become easy to check these values using smartwatches and phone apps, making it easier to measure and control your own pulse.

If your heart rate is not being properly managed, or if it continuously falls outside the normal heart rate range, please visit a related hospital as soon as possible.
