HRV is a “view” into what your nervous system is doing. There are two branches of the nervous system that work together to stay balanced. When you are stressed, one branch of your nervous system, the “fight or flight” branch, becomes very active. When this happens, HRV goes down and represents imbalance between the two branches. When the stressful situation passes, HRV goes up as the nervous system returns to normal.
High HRV is a sign of calm and low HRV is a sign of stress. The good news is that there are many simple solutions, such as deep breathing, that helps restore calm and increase HRV.

Can you tell me more about the science and research behind HRV? Thanks. D.

We will have a detailed discussion on the science and research behind HRV and stress next week. Please stay tuned!
I know about good stress, it is setmeimos called Eustress. From what I understand, Eustress can turn into bad stress if it lingers. No matter what kind of stress you have, you should be able to recover to a normal balanced state. High HRV is an indication that you can recover.
Just wanna say that this is handy , Thanks for taking your time to write this.
What can I do to increase my HRV and how will I know if I am improving?
Some basic things you can do to increase your HRV:
Exercise – even moderate walking!
Eat right!
Deep breathing exercises
Positive attitude!!
You can use SweetBeat to measure upir HRV. In regenal, HRVis measured in a multitude of ways:1. Time based measurements such as standard deviation between beats2. Frequency based measurements look at the frequency patterns of the beatsSweetBeat provides your HRV, a number between 0-100 that represents, if you will, the thickness of your brake pads to respond to daily stressors and reboung to a balanced state.What does balance imply? Your nervous system controls your heart beat and has 2 branches. One branch is like an accelerator on a car and speeds the heart up (usually due to stress). The other branch is like the brakes on a car and slows the heart down (this is rest and repair of the body).Balance implies that the accelerator and brakes of the nervous system are in a healthy see-saw activity and that not one or the other is dominant.So glad you love the blog!
