Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps it throughout your body. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is typically represented as two numbers, such as 120/80 mmHg. The top number, known as systolic pressure, indicates the pressure when your heart contracts, while the bottom number, called diastolic pressure, represents the pressure when your heart relaxes between beats.

Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) present in your blood. They are the most common form of fat in your body and serve as a source of energy or are stored in fat cells. Triglycerides are derived from the food you eat, especially fatty foods, and are also made from excess calories that your body converts and stores. While some triglycerides are necessary for good health, elevated levels can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Uric acid is a waste product in the blood that forms when the body breaks down purines. Purines are naturally occurring substances found in the body and also present in certain foods and beverages. The kidneys filter uric acid from the blood, which is then excreted in urine. Elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, known as hyperuricemia, can lead to health issues such as gout and kidney stones. Further, higher uric levels can be associated with poor metabolic health.
Uric acid can be associated with; excessive indutrialised food, namely, sugar, alcohol, and dehydration.

What is HRV Testing?

hrv hear tbeats

Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is assessing the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

⚕️ Sympathetic (Fight & Flight) Stressed response

⚕️ Parasympathetic (Calm & Collected) Balanced response

The ANS is influenced by; movement patterns, food choices, sleep quality and very much the perception and balance of lifestyle (mental & emotional) stress.

Unlike assessing your heart rate in total beats per minute (e.g., via a heart rate monitor), HRV looks much closer at the exact changes in time between successive heartbeats.
