Well I've done a self monitoring with my watch.. before going on low carb diet,my HR while resting was 85 bpm..after few months on low carb and IF and nearly keto diet (not strictly keto),I lost 10kg my resting HR went down to 59bpm so does my BP... .now for 6 weeks, I went back on eating everything( including bread and fruits and stopped IF) and kgs started mounting and my blood pressure and HR going up as well..guys obesity and eating the wrong food is killing us.
Interesting. I was on statins and my pulse would drop as low as 32, but I felt like death. On keto with no ststins my lowest pulse is high 50s but I feel much better. Pulse range is also important. Mine is about 150 from lowest to highest.
I've recently found out that elevated rest pulse rate is often a sign of dehydration. even mild dehydration can cause elevated pulse rate. So try drinking more water and see if it lowers your pulse rate. Especially useful when the climate is hot
Lets say a 50 years old has 80 in pulse, if he from the age of 50 takes pills that lowers his pulse effectively, will he live longer? If yes, how much longer will he live compared to if he kept having 80 in pulse?
As usual great advice from Dr berg, I am nearly 70 years old and my resting pulse is 45rpm ,after a workout it does not go more than 65 bpm, I have been on keto and if for a number of years and feel better than could hope for at my age
I have lost 20 to 30 pounds. Stopped over drinking coffee. Now my heart rate can drop to the 50s and 40s when resting. Even during the day when just relaxing. I don't really feel anything except when it drops as I fall asleep and usually when I'm tried. I'm hoping this is normal. I do workout, not to hard, and I jog and walk almost everyday. Been doing this since may 2020.

I’m dealing some stressful situations and my heart goes to 182 sometimes for a few seconds and obviously I don’t feel good and try to breath it in and then it goes back to the 90’s. And again that’s because I’ve been dealing for a week with some stressful situation. It’s hard to keep my heart low. But this video helped a lot, mentally anyway. Got to stay strong 💪🏽

I should really go to the doctor about my heart rate. I've always had a high heart rate around 100bpm at rest. I'm on beta blockers for anxiety and I had to go without them for one day and my heart rate shot up to 176bpm at rest. Luckily I managed to get my beta blocker prescription and it brought it back down to around 90 but it was a scary experience.
@@vince1229 I was wondering how low is to low. I used to check mine at Walmart. The longer I sat there checking it the lower it got(under 60) after about 3 times checking it I thought I better get up while I still got a heartbeat. LOL
@Kelly I would suggest looking at alternative medical treatment programs to see if you can come up with a better solution. Let me say this so that I am clear I am not saying give up your medication or to drop it. Look for something that is gradual that may even use the same medication.

Are you doing keto/low carb diet? How often do you exercise? Do more and incorporate intermittent fasting. Get off anything the doctors are prescribing, it's all junk.
Yes i run full marathon too and my resting heart rate is at 36~38; and if i stopped running for 3months my rest heart rate goes up to 5x again(by garmin forerunner 235 watch)
Dr. Berg, how did you go from 6 hours of sleep to nine? I've been a 6 hour sleeper for decades and do really well but on the very rare occasion when I sleep 7 to 7 1/2 hours I feel incredibly good but have never been able to do it more than 3 or 4 times a year.
I used to smoke for 3years, my pulse would be around 90-100after smoking a cig and around 80 normal. Now that i stopped smoking my heart rate has returned to ~56bpm. It is usually from 50-60 yeah... Great video thanks!
I’m a 59 year old cyclist with a family history of heart disease. I became interested in resting pulse rate a few years ago. I got into peak shape, my resting rate was 46. My resting rate now can go below 45. My recovery resting rate is about 53 after I’ve been training. My recovery rate during training drops like a rock. Thank you Dr. Berg.
@Sara Bella well, mainly I follow Dr. Berg with healthy Keto, OMAD. To break a fast I eat a big salad, avocado, I eat eggs, steak, chicken, salmon. I ride bikes whenever I can, my aim is 100 miles a week right now. Thanks for asking, I don’t know what else I can tell ya.
@@tomstricklin3409 Likely you may feel the need for carbs when cycling a reasonable amount. Say 300M a week. How is this 100m made up, say 25M X 4 days. And what intensity in that ride. Likely not that intense, after a run what would it be (your recovery HR). If I ride at 18 MPH (on flat) lucky to get 100 HR. Obviously my recovery HR would be my resting HR as have done nothing. The issue is with rest HR it could be a heart defect meaning your heart hasn't properly put your HR up to the required rate. That is so with me. Basically its hereditary, some people will not know if they are sedentary. For example my sister who on putting on my watch had a HR of 55, not done a days intense exercise (walks occasonally) since she was 14 if then. So you say yours is 45, if all you did was 100M a week, not enough to get 45 or lower. I'd get checked out. I had 40 HR at age of 19 (was in Hospital with fractured Jaw). How much cycling had I done at age of 19, nowhere near enough to get that HR. Maybe 200M tops per week. TDF cyclists have HR's of say 32-40, but they have been doing 400M a week for years. My lowest HR, 32, was when I was taken by ambulance to Hospital . I don't think that's a coincidence.
My Dad has had a resting pulse rate between 45 and 55 all his adult life and has just found out at 64 that he has a heart condition that is still undiagnosed... He gets chest pains and in left arm when walking up hills but he has had an angiogram and arteries are clear?
Thank you for discussing this topic. I have been curious about it for some time. My 81yo father and I (59yo), both have a resting heart rate in the low 40’s. We both are not particularly athletic, but we do work hard. While my dad was in the hospital with COVID last January. The doctors expressed concern over his low heart rate and considered giving him a drug to increase it. They changed their minds after discussing it with me and learning that it ran in the family. My father thankfully made a full recovery. All of the males who have passed on my fathers side, lived to their later 90’s.
Yes it's quite incredible but I've always said that professional cyclists of this calibre have to be the fittest people of any sport. In other words, I can't think of any other sport that demands this level of fitness and stamina.
My mom’s resting heart rate is 30s bpm since her teenage days. She was an athletic athlete for few years. She got a pacemaker implanted years ago just in case, for bradycardia arrhythmia (low bpm), although she rarely gets sick not even a cold. Thank God she survived covid and had no symptom.
Oh well I've had it then.... My resting rate is 88..92 BPM, do lots of dog walking and healthy Keto. (Not that am worried.). Will try tweaking the vits and minerals now that am counting beat rates, see whether anything causes changes.
There are many factors regarding a resting pulse rate left out of this video. Tachycardia & bradycardia shoulda been addressed. My grandmother's heart rate was 45-50 bpm, but in her particular case it didn't indicate better heart health, but bradycardia. Average resting heart rate for adults is 60 - 100 bpm.
This is great info ! Women have smaller hearts so often the pulse is 70bpm, yet women often live longer than men with slower bpm. So this is great info, but there are many factors at play. When I'm working out daily my pulse is often between 50-60bpm, but if I take time off, my pulse will go up to 65-75 bpm. Before my period I'll have a day of 90bpm and nothing I can do about it. So it varies. I don't want to live my life by a fit bit. Still, this is great info and useful. Magnesium got rid of heart palps I had for years. So things help but just enjoy your life - the old timers say happiness is long life not a fit bit 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
The problem is WHAT IS THE TRUE “RESTING” HR. Traditionally it’s measured as the SITTING hr but technically it should be the SLEEPING. My smart band measures SLEEPNG one and tells me it’s 55, but when I’m awake it rarely goes down under 60. Which should I believe?
Resting pulse is that... Resting. You should be laying down. Sitting is more activated. You need your rest and relaxation mode of your nervous system to kick in. So not only being supine (laying down), but also waiting 5 to 10 minutes to calm down. These doctors rush you into their office, make you do your BP and heat rate immediately and of course it's up. So silly. Best time to take BP and pulse rate is when you wake. Stay laying down and do the readings.
@@gimaphone I'm no doctor, so I can't say anything definitive. But to me if you wake up and take your reading and it says 55, then your resting pulse rate is 55. I wouldn't use sleep data, but the reading when you are awake and at rest.
@@trevormarcray OK. Resting but not sleeping. Well, the device really says it "estimates" resting heart rate from sleeping one so I think it's OK. Thanks.
I have the older Charge 2 fitbit. If I get my bpm to show on my display, then tap the display once, it shows the resting heart rate which is what he's really referring to in this particular video. Not sure which Fitbit you have but just thought I'd mention it to see if your model will display that for you too:)
I am very anxious person. My pulse is 72-76 during the morning time. It is always above 80 after that. Is pulse above 80 dangerous. After a good meal my pulse rate crosses 90. Major misconception is resting pulse rate is low for active people. But there are active people who have run marathons but have high resting pulse rate. I can never have a resting pulse rate of 65. It has something to do with the sinus in the heart. Every person is different.
I would suggest taking an over all view of it. Dealing with anxiety is one of your priorities but having a good medical through either integrative medicine of functional medicine could help you screen and eliminate different issues. Your anxiety could be driving your heartbeat up or it come be your metabolism or as you pointed out the heart it selfs natural function.
If you are a male, please try semen retention. Also do whatever you can to raise your testosterone levels and maintain healthy dopamine receptors. Your anxiety will disappear.
@@sunshine3914 sometimes I have difficulty in feeling the pulse. Does it mean that my blood pressure at that instant in very low. Having a low resting pulse is not just beneficial for good health it also helps us in becoming more foccused and blissful. Most of the top chess players, math olympiad toppers etc have low pulse rate. A person with a high resting heart rate cannot focus on anything. Mediation helps a lot.
I am 74 and my resting hr varies between 53-58. I walk daily about 2-4 miles and work out every other day including 100 military push ups. My concern is bradycardia which is bad but I also do not display any symptoms such as weakness , tiredness or dizziness so hopefully it's just good conditioning of my body.
I had a resting heart rate of 85-90 bpm. For the last two months I have been doing HIIT and Intermittent Fasting and only two home made meals with minimum fat and carbs. Now my heart rate at rest is around 60-65 bpm. I was scared and found this video to feel better.
im at your current position now with 80-90 bpm.. been living on a sedentary lifestyle for the past 10 year (< 2000 steps /day) and I am about to change that immediately. what type of HIIT training were you doing and for how long per day if i may ask ?
I have been carnivore for 20 months....no meds...67 years old with 20:4 fasting and walk 3 miles everyday. Right now I am on a 72hr fast. My resting pulse rate has been constant at 43 to 50 BPM for months now. So you are correct...I feel pretty good...but before I was in terrible shape and had very bad health problems...your advice over the years on some things have worked for me. Thank you Dr. Berg.
a BIG THANK YOU DR. ERIC! your advice is so plain & simple. My pulse is around 55 to 60, so not too bad but my worry is my recovery time after a physical excercise isn't so fast.
You make it sound so simple in that you just decide you want to sleep 8 hours or 9 hours and it happens. For most of us 6 hours would be wonderful as our bodies and/ or mind won't let us.
The span of time I have been fasting is about 6 to 7 weeks. I drink plenty of water without overdoing it. Went from 194 to 180 today. Pulse rate is 48. Sleep 8 to 9 hours. I am happy
At one point in my life my resting heart beat was approximately 98/100 beats per minute. I removed the stress from my life and am working on my health/ fitness and healing my body with Dr Berg of course 😅😇🥰
Nope. My husband is 74 and recently had an EKG. His heart rate was 46. He’s going for a stress test next month. His mother had a ‘lazy heart’ and wore a heart monitor for 20 years. She did live to the age of 91 but died of an intestinal blockage.
In the morning my resting heart rate is around my age of 49. It did not used to be this way, I have worked very hard increase my cardio and to eat better since my father died from diabetes in 2015. Seeing all the things he had gone through in his last year (from amputations to dementia and his passing) was a serious wake up call to me.
Is that normal, because i always thought below 60 is a risk and my heart rate also stays anything from 48 to 57 and it makes me anxious that i am dying 😂
I recently turned 65 and have just started to watch my overall health. Not that I had been careless, but I always had work that gave me plenty of physical activity. Anything to keep me from losing ground now is important to me. These videos provide great foundational information. Thanks.
I do carnivore for almost 5 years straight now, my resting heart rate tends to be around the 50's but whenever I'm eating nowadays my heart rate can go up to even 120's, taking into consideration that I'm under a lot of stress right now, I already did all the tests and there's no heart problems at all and my blood work went out all perfect except for my total cholesterol which was 482 mg/dL. Thank you for your work Dr. Berg.
I found your videos about 3 months ago and it inspired me to go on the Keto diet and intermittent fasting, purely to eat even healthier. I do exercise daily, healthy weight but loves sweet treats…. Needles to say after 6 weeks of strict keto I’ve lost 5 kg, sleep 7 hrs a night (use to be 5 hrs for years), resting heart rate of 57 and recovery drop average of 31 beats after 1 min. I’m 66 years old. Thank you for your clearly explained videos.
I was feeling pretty good about my health. Now it seems I don't have long to live.... Bruce Lee could slow his pulse down to a few beats per minute, and he died young. Something doesn't add up here
Same. I was born with high heart rate. And have all the tests and they come up with nothing, don’t use any caffeine and not any other medicines for any issues. But now I’m not gonna have long to live. That sucks.
Yes that's why a normal heart rate is usually considered between 55 to 90. So you can be any gender, weight, age and size and fall within a normal range. The important point to gain from this video is that when you are starting to reach 90s and go above during rest, it suggests your heart is having a harder time at keeping things "relaxed". Also important to know that your resting heart rate is as low as ur heart goes so you have to wonder how high it gets when you are stressed, angry, dehydrated, etc it is not good for the heart to be pumping so hard.
I remeber hearing that all living things, with a heart installed have a certain number of heart beats before they die. For example, elephants have slower heart beats than mice, therfore, they live longer than mice. So, it's as if our hearts have a limited number of beats before we expire.
I've read this as well, and think it refers to potential lifespan. There are of course many factors that can reduce it (comorbidities). I've also read that while exercise raises the pulse rate, this is more than offset by a reduction in pulse rate between exercise sessions... so don't be dissuaded from exercising by thinking you are reducing your life span. 😉
I am 84 with a resting pulse of 45-50. It's been that way for years as I was a serious recreational runner for 35 years. Every PC I've been to tells me I need a pacemaker. Cardiologists have given me stress tests and said not to worry, until now. Cardiologist now thinks I need a pacemaker. I haven't run for 10 years but hike vigorously 3-5 days a week. I do have more fatigue than I used to.
If you're not fainting or having dizziness when walking around or getting up, I don't think you have to worry too much. Clearly as you get older you'll feel more fatigue due to needing longer to recover from your hiking. Just ensure you take enough fluids in specially during the warmer days. The colour of your urine will indicate if you have to drink more water or not.
31 year old personal trainer here. My resting heart rate is usually between 45 and 50 bpm. I'm about to start training for a marathon though, so I'm excited to see if it goes down!
Hi Dr Berg, I’ve started Keto and 20:4 IF, and am feeling great. I also consume Udiliv 300 right after lunch. Is it ok to continue Udiliv? My doctor prescribed it after detecting grade 1 fatty liver + polyps in gall bladder.
Before losing weight. My resting bpm was at 75. Fast forward to 100 lbs of fat lost, my resting bpm during the day is in the low 50s. During sleep I have gone down to 36-38 bpm. Watching Tv has my bpm around 45-48. I run for exercise and sleep like a baby. 😉
@@dendenc2046 Depends. If you have bradycardia, then yes, low bpm is an issue that needs to be addressed. In my case, I run a lot (about 80 miles a month) and the high cardio does cause low bpm for me.
What if your heart rate fluctuates from 42bpm to 138bpm? I have regular chest pains, shortness of breath, wheezing at times, ive been to GP and hospital, had many tests many over night stays, had the tape monitors blood tests etc, and still no diagnosis, sometimes results come back 'worrying' and others they are 'normal' but my anxiety is still through the roof that somethings wrong, should i worry or is it nothing?
Maybe it could be just anxiety causing those symptoms. Mental health problems and depression are link to poor diet and lack of exercise. Gut health and your brain are linked together, perhaps a change is needed, you'll be surprised small changes to your lifestyle and diet can benefit you..

Hello Dr Berg. You'd previously made a recommendation of an anatomy & physiology reference book that you use. Can you share the title of the reference book again with us, please?
Funny but I’ve only been on keto a couple of months. My pulse has come down to what it was in my 20s! Pre-keto my pulse was consistently in the 90s now it runs between 60s and 70s!
I've been in good shape for years, by group road bike rides riding 40-60 miles, Spartan races, etc. My RHR never got lower than 53 and that was using a chest strap or watch. Once I got into Keto and fasting, my RHR went down to the 40's hitting as low as 43. I've never been under 50 in my entire life. I was an athlete in college and that was 30 years ago.
My pulse resting is 49. I do some exercise, not that much. I am active and eat healthy keto for a year and a half. I am 70 and very slim. Hoping to live to 120.
I think he has a video about a certain nutrient that tea drinkers should should eat more often. Believe it was B1 but I suggest you check it out yourself
9 hours sleep you get ??!!!....Jeeez....I haven't had that much interrupted sleep for over two decades. It is the primary occupation of my conscious state is sleep. Even two sleeping tabs only knock me out for three hours, then I'm awake again.

So you say yours is 45, if all you did was 100M a week, not enough to get 45 or lower. I'd get checked out. I had 40 HR at age of 19 (was in Hospital with fractured Jaw). How much cycling had I done at age of 19, nowhere near enough to get that HR. Maybe 200M tops per week. TDF cyclists have HR's of say 32-40, but they have been doing 400M a week for years. My lowest HR, 32, was when I was taken by ambulance to Hospital . I don't think that's a coincidence.
I started walking a few miles a day and my resting heart rate went down by more than 10 bpm in just a few weeks.
My Dad has had a resting pulse rate between 45 and 55 all his adult life and has just found out at 64 that he has a heart condition that is still undiagnosed... He gets chest pains and in left arm when walking up hills but he has had an angiogram and arteries are clear?
Thank you for discussing this topic. I have been curious about it for some time. My 81yo father and I (59yo), both have a resting heart rate in the low 40’s. We both are not particularly athletic, but we do work hard. While my dad was in the hospital with COVID last January. The doctors expressed concern over his low heart rate and considered giving him a drug to increase it. They changed their minds after discussing it with me and learning that it ran in the family. My father thankfully made a full recovery. All of the males who have passed on my fathers side, lived to their later 90’s.
You have bradycardia
My resting pulse is 94 and I work out/ very active I have always had a high pulse since I was a baby
Same here
Some professional cyclists have resting heart rates in the 20s such as Chris Froome whos resting heart rate is 29bpm. Its crazy.
My 99 year old grandma's resting heart rate is 48 bpm...
Yes it's quite incredible but I've always said that professional cyclists of this calibre have to be the fittest people of any sport. In other words, I can't think of any other sport that demands this level of fitness and stamina.
My mom’s resting heart rate is 30s bpm since her teenage days. She was an athletic athlete for few years. She got a pacemaker implanted years ago just in case, for bradycardia arrhythmia (low bpm), although she rarely gets sick not even a cold. Thank God she survived covid and had no symptom.
My heart rate is between 40 and 45 male 39 doctors say nothing to worry about please advise me I'm scared
My resting heart rate is 85-90, so I guess I'm doomed. Yeah and I'm over 70.

There are many factors regarding a resting pulse rate left out of this video. Tachycardia & bradycardia shoulda been addressed.
My grandmother's heart rate was 45-50 bpm, but in her particular case it didn't indicate better heart health, but bradycardia.
Average resting heart rate for adults is 60 - 100 bpm.
If you believe 100 or even 80 is a normal heart rate... You're very wrong as well as those who come up with these numbers
That's what happens when Chiropractors pretend to be Cardiologists.
This is great info ! Women have smaller hearts so often the pulse is 70bpm, yet women often live longer than men with slower bpm. So this is great info, but there are many factors at play. When I'm working out daily my pulse is often between 50-60bpm, but if I take time off, my pulse will go up to 65-75 bpm. Before my period I'll have a day of 90bpm and nothing I can do about it. So it varies. I don't want to live my life by a fit bit. Still, this is great info and useful. Magnesium got rid of heart palps I had for years. So things help but just enjoy your life - the old timers say happiness is long life not a fit bit 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I gotta restrict certain videos to daytime viewing only. Not the best video for just before bed. Thanks Dr Berg 👍
The problem is WHAT IS THE TRUE “RESTING” HR. Traditionally it’s measured as the SITTING hr but technically it should be the SLEEPING. My smart band measures SLEEPNG one and tells me it’s 55, but when I’m awake it rarely goes down under 60. Which should I believe?
Resting pulse is that... Resting. You should be laying down. Sitting is more activated. You need your rest and relaxation mode of your nervous system to kick in. So not only being supine (laying down), but also waiting 5 to 10 minutes to calm down. These doctors rush you into their office, make you do your BP and heat rate immediately and of course it's up. So silly. Best time to take BP and pulse rate is when you wake. Stay laying down and do the readings.
@@trevormarcray So I can trust my 55-ish number? Seems promising.
@@gimaphone I'm no doctor, so I can't say anything definitive. But to me if you wake up and take your reading and it says 55, then your resting pulse rate is 55. I wouldn't use sleep data, but the reading when you are awake and at rest.
@@trevormarcray OK. Resting but not sleeping. Well, the device really says it "estimates" resting heart rate from sleeping one so I think it's OK. Thanks.
55 years old and I’m 52 BPM according to my Fitbit
I have the older Charge 2 fitbit. If I get my bpm to show on my display, then tap the display once, it shows the resting heart rate which is what he's really referring to in this particular video. Not sure which Fitbit you have but just thought I'd mention it to see if your model will display that for you too:)
Your Fitbit monitors your heart rate and will tell you your resting rate. Sync it to your phone or iPad. Lots of information on there.
I am very anxious person. My pulse is 72-76 during the morning time. It is always above 80 after that. Is pulse above 80 dangerous. After a good meal my pulse rate crosses 90. Major misconception is resting pulse rate is low for active people. But there are active people who have run marathons but have high resting pulse rate. I can never have a resting pulse rate of 65. It has something to do with the sinus in the heart. Every person is different.
I would suggest taking an over all view of it. Dealing with anxiety is one of your priorities but having a good medical through either integrative medicine of functional medicine could help you screen and eliminate different issues.
Your anxiety could be driving your heartbeat up or it come be your metabolism or as you pointed out the heart it selfs natural function.
If you are a male, please try semen retention. Also do whatever you can to raise your testosterone levels and maintain healthy dopamine receptors.
Your anxiety will disappear.
Daily meditation. It’s simple & cost nothing.
@@sunshine3914 sometimes I have difficulty in feeling the pulse. Does it mean that my blood pressure at that instant in very low. Having a low resting pulse is not just beneficial for good health it also helps us in becoming more foccused and blissful. Most of the top chess players, math olympiad toppers etc have low pulse rate. A person with a high resting heart rate cannot focus on anything. Mediation helps a lot.
@@srikanthtupurani6316 Don't worry about it. I naturally have higher resting heart rate. My grandfather was similar he lived to 106.
I am 74 and my resting hr varies between 53-58. I walk daily about 2-4 miles and work out every other day including 100 military push ups. My concern is bradycardia which is bad but I also do not display any symptoms such as weakness , tiredness or dizziness so hopefully it's just good conditioning of my body.
I’m 44 and base on my iwatch my resting heart rate is 60 bpm. I walk 3 miles a day.
I had a resting heart rate of 85-90 bpm.
For the last two months I have been doing HIIT and Intermittent Fasting and only two home made meals with minimum fat and carbs.
Now my heart rate at rest is around 60-65 bpm. I was scared and found this video to feel better.
Did u do hiit daily or on alternate days
im at your current position now with 80-90 bpm.. been living on a sedentary lifestyle for the past 10 year (< 2000 steps /day) and I am about to change that immediately. what type of HIIT training were you doing and for how long per day if i may ask ?
my sleeping heart rate is about 60, my awake rate is about 80
I have been carnivore for 20 months....no meds...67 years old with 20:4 fasting and walk 3 miles everyday. Right now I am on a 72hr fast. My resting pulse rate has been constant at 43 to 50 BPM for months now. So you are correct...I feel pretty good...but before I was in terrible shape and had very bad health problems...your advice over the years on some things have worked for me. Thank you Dr. Berg.
welp, i just ate 10 cookies while watching this sooo....guess ill start tomorrow
a BIG THANK YOU DR. ERIC! your advice is so plain & simple. My pulse is around 55 to 60, so not too bad but my worry is my recovery time after a physical excercise isn't so fast.
You don’t discuss bradycardia and the dangers of a too-SLOW heart rate. (Under 50 BPM is concerning to cardiologists).
Thank you Dr Berg. I don't say it often enough 🙏💖🙏
i used to be mid 60'swhen I worked out only 3dys/week..
now that I'm FAT, I'm around 88's...
new goal : at least 50
Isn’t
Not if you are an athlete or train like an athlete.
Actually a good heart rate is 50-70. The 60-100 is old school and no way 80-100 can be a healthy heart rate
Watching this while taking my pulse rate , and reading is 98😅
Thanks, Dr. Berg. Could you also do a video on heart rate variability?
I would like to see a video on it as well. I was reading about it the other day. Very interesting.
How about those who suffer from anxiety? Hard to always have a low resting rate.
That's why is important to learn to better cope so we don't stress out the heart into cardiac disease. Yes easier said tha done, anxiety sucks.
I have anxiety, 50 years old, active, and resting heart rate in the 50’s. No meds.
You make it sound so simple in that you just decide you want to sleep 8 hours or 9 hours and it happens. For most of us 6 hours would be wonderful as our bodies and/ or mind won't let us.
The span of time I have been fasting is about 6 to 7 weeks. I drink plenty of water without overdoing it. Went from 194 to 180 today. Pulse rate is 48. Sleep 8 to 9 hours. I am happy
Please I only get 3 hours sleep in night
At one point in my life my resting heart beat was approximately 98/100 beats per minute. I removed the stress from my life and am working on my health/ fitness and healing my body with Dr Berg of course 😅😇🥰

Nope. My husband is 74 and recently had an EKG. His heart rate was 46. He’s going for a stress test next month. His mother had a ‘lazy heart’ and wore a heart monitor for 20 years. She did live to the age of 91 but died of an intestinal blockage.

What do you do if you have high pulse due to hyperthyroidism?
See an endocrinologist and get your thyroid under control. I have Grave's Disease and my pulse is 60 bpm.
My pulse was OK until my covid vaccine....
I do carnivore for almost 5 years straight now, my resting heart rate tends to be around the 50's but whenever I'm eating nowadays my heart rate can go up to even 120's, taking into consideration that I'm under a lot of stress right now, I already did all the tests and there's no heart problems at all and my blood work went out all perfect except for my total cholesterol which was 482 mg/dL. Thank you for your work Dr. Berg.
Stress can be a big factor if you are aware of stress you can actually do exercises to bring the levels down.

People of different ages, gender, weight, and size have very different healthy resting heart rates. :)
Yes! I really disliked that he doesn't really include that in his video.
Yes that's why a normal heart rate is usually considered between 55 to 90. So you can be any gender, weight, age and size and fall within a normal range. The important point to gain from this video is that when you are starting to reach 90s and go above during rest, it suggests your heart is having a harder time at keeping things "relaxed". Also important to know that your resting heart rate is as low as ur heart goes so you have to wonder how high it gets when you are stressed, angry, dehydrated, etc it is not good for the heart to be pumping so hard.
Oh right! That’s true
My resting pulse rate jumped dramatically, while watching. Call it anxiety! lol
I remeber hearing that all living things, with a heart installed have a certain number of heart beats before they die. For example, elephants have slower heart beats than mice, therfore, they live longer than mice.
So, it's as if our hearts have a limited number of beats before we expire.
I dont think this is very accurate some people die bc of heart disease at a very young age
Then people who get alot of excercise would die sooner. I don't think that's how it works
Lol, Ive heard that too, but thats not how it works.
Interesting
I've read this as well, and think it refers to potential lifespan. There are of course many factors that can reduce it (comorbidities). I've also read that while exercise raises the pulse rate, this is more than offset by a reduction in pulse rate between exercise sessions... so don't be dissuaded from exercising by thinking you are reducing your life span. 😉
I am 84 with a resting pulse of 45-50. It's been that way for years as I was a serious recreational runner for 35 years. Every PC I've been to tells me I need a pacemaker. Cardiologists have given me stress tests and said not to worry, until now. Cardiologist now thinks I need a pacemaker. I haven't run for 10 years but hike vigorously 3-5 days a week. I do have more fatigue than I used to.
If you're not fainting or having dizziness when walking around or getting up, I don't think you have to worry too much. Clearly as you get older you'll feel more fatigue due to needing longer to recover from your hiking. Just ensure you take enough fluids in specially during the warmer days. The colour of your urine will indicate if you have to drink more water or not.
Resting heart rate means? You are in a certain position? You just woke up and checked it? Or you are just sitting around the house?

Is it safe so low? Im reading online if you are above 30+ years old, that low HR is not good if its around 40s bpm
@@dendenc2046 Depends. If you have bradycardia, then yes, low bpm is an issue that needs to be addressed. In my case, I run a lot (about 80 miles a month) and the high cardio does cause low bpm for me.

What if your heart rate fluctuates from 42bpm to 138bpm? I have regular chest pains, shortness of breath, wheezing at times, ive been to GP and hospital, had many tests many over night stays, had the tape monitors blood tests etc, and still no diagnosis, sometimes results come back 'worrying' and others they are 'normal' but my anxiety is still through the roof that somethings wrong, should i worry or is it nothing?
Maybe it could be just anxiety causing those symptoms. Mental health problems and depression are link to poor diet and lack of exercise. Gut health and your brain are linked together, perhaps a change is needed, you'll be surprised small changes to your lifestyle and diet can benefit you..

I've been in good shape for years, by group road bike rides riding 40-60 miles, Spartan races, etc. My RHR never got lower than 53 and that was using a chest strap or watch. Once I got into Keto and fasting, my RHR went down to the 40's hitting as low as 43. I've never been under 50 in my entire life. I was an athlete in college and that was 30 years ago.
