Nutrition Nugget: Heart Rate

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-size, bonus episodes offering tips, tricks, and approachable science. This week, Jenn's talking about heart rate and heart rate monitors. While we are lucky that our heart beats on its own and we don’t have to think about it, we should still be aware of what it might be telling us. We should all know our resting heart rate and target heart rate during exercise and then track our heart rate recovery, which is the length of time it takes for our heart rate to come down after exercise or activity. If we experience a change in our resting heart rate, it can indicate that something else is going on with our overall health. Our heart rate can inform us of heart function, mortality risk, and even how certain treatments are working. Do you know your resting heart rate? If not, it’s time to learn! Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full length episodes; new releases every Wednesday.  Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?  Submit it here: https://asaladwithasideoffries.com/index.php/contact/       RESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn’s Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With a Side of Fries Instagram
