What Is Resting Heart Rate? A Key Marker for Healthy Aging

Resting heart rate is a simple but useful marker that can provide insight into cardiovascular fitness, recovery, and healthy aging. In this video, we explain what resting heart rate means, why it matters, and how it may reflect changes in overall health and resilience over time. Full article: https://longevityinsights.co.uk/what-is-resting-heart-rate/ Resting heart rate is often discussed in longevity science because it relates to heart health, metabolism, stress, sleep, inflammation, and physical fitness. While it is not a standalone diagnosis, tracking resting heart rate alongside other biomarkers can help build a clearer picture of healthspan and aging. A consistently lower resting heart rate can sometimes reflect better cardiovascular efficiency, while changes over time may indicate shifts in recovery, lifestyle, or overall wellbeing.
