Heart Rate Variability: Live Longer, Stronger, Healthier

The body’s inherent ability to heal and self-stabilize erodes with age; the older we get the more we tend to lose energy, memory, and resilience to stress. It becomes harder to mend from injuries or illness and can take days to recover from workouts or overindulgence. We also are more likely to develop diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, and other afflictions as we age.

Extending our lifespan does no good if it means poorer health and higher healthcare costs. The goal is to live healthier and stronger, which ultimately means you will also live longer.

The comedian George Burns once said, “You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old,” and we tend to agree! You can’t do anything about your chronological age, but you can definitely change your biological age.

Studies show biological age is a better measure for determining health status and risk than chronological age. The Kaplan Center’s Anti-Aging treatments aim to provide the maintenance needed to return the body to a more youthful state.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a biomarker of the balance in the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and an objective measure of biological age. Because the ANS regulates our vital organs it’s extremely important that the system is operating in optimum balance.

HRV biofeedback is a simple, noninvasive, and accurate measure of stress in our nervous system and of our overall health.
