Heart rate refers to the number of heartbeats per minute of normal people in a quiet state, also known as quiet heart rate, which is generally 60 ~ 100 beats per minute, and may vary among individuals due to age, gender or other physiological factors.

Generally speaking, the younger the age, the faster the heart rate, the slower the heart rate of the elderly than the young, and the faster the heart rate of women than men of the same age. These are normal physiological phenomena. In a quiet state, the normal heart rate of adults is 60 ~ 100 beats/min, and the ideal heart rate should be 55 ~ 70 beats/min (the heart rate of athletes is slower than that of ordinary adults, generally about 50 beats/min).

Extended data

Increased heart rate is harmful to health, shortens life expectancy and increases the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases. How to keep the resting heart rate at about 60 beats/min;

1. Movement

Regular participation in various exercises with appropriate intensity will slow down the resting heart rate. Although the heart rate increases during exercise, exercise can exercise the heart function, thus slowing down the resting heart rate. The general suitable exercise heart rate is "170- age". For a 50-year-old person, it is appropriate to control the exercise heart rate at 120 beats/min. Too fast means too much exercise to achieve or have no effect.

Before exercise, you should feel comfortable and fatigue-free. Generally, exercise should not exceed 65,438+0 hours, and the best time for each exercise is 30 minutes to 60 minutes. Exercise at least three times a week.

2. Correct bad lifestyle

Staying up late, smoking and drinking will accelerate the resting heart rate. Drink less strong tea, especially before going to bed, otherwise it will easily lead to insomnia. You should also defecate regularly to keep defecation unobstructed.

Maintain a proper weight

Obesity will increase the burden on the heart and speed up the heart rate. Therefore, obese people should maintain proper weight through physical exercise and diet adjustment.
