In this video, we’re going to talk about how your pulse rate may indicate how long you’ll live.
There are other better indicators of your mortality risk, such as the CAC test, but you can test your resting pulse rate quickly and easily at home to help check in with your body. Why not give it a try?
Based on a meta-analysis, the risk of mortality from all causes is increased by 9% for every 10 beats per minute of resting heart rate.
For example, if your resting heart rate is 45 beats per minute, this would indicate a low risk of mortality, while 90 beats per minute would indicate a significantly higher risk of mortality.
Athletes tend to have very low resting heart rates because of their physical fitness. Those with coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and high blood pressure tend to have much higher resting heart rates.
Keep in mind that if you’re on a medication that brings down your heart rate, the indication of mortality may be inaccurate.
One study showed that women with a resting heart rate greater than 76 bpm have a 26% increased risk of heart attack compared to those with a lower pulse rate.
Measuring your resting heart rate is easy. Simply use your fingers to feel your pulse and count each beat for one minute.
What controls your resting heart rate? This has to do with vagal tone-the activity of your vagus nerve and your parasympathetic nervous system.
Your parasympathetic nervous system is the part of your nervous system that is responsible for the “rest and digest” state. It helps your body recover after exercise.
The faster your pulse rate comes down to normal after exercise, the faster your recovery, which indicates better vagal tone.
You can strengthen your vagal tone with…
• Exercise (consistent and regular)
• Exercise recovery (give your body plenty of time to repair!)
• Sleep
• Fasting
• Low-carb diet (Healthy keto)
• Potassium
• Vitamin B1
• Vitamin D
• Lower your stress

I had a resting HR of 85. Started having issues with heart palpitations on a regular basis, feeling funny in the chest with 2-3 extra beats randomly and it was very worrysome and I even had extreme HR after I ate food. Started taking BETA blockers when I needed it, but at the same time started working out, sleeping better and more and doing cardio 3-4 times a week and now my HR is down to 65 and I feel a lot better. I have more energy, no anxiety, less depressed and no more excessive funny feelings in my chest. Don't skip cardio, guys. It will allegedly save your life.

Thank you for discussing this topic. I have been curious about it for some time. My 81yo father and I (59yo), both have a resting heart rate in the low 40’s. We both are not particularly athletic, but we do work hard. While my dad was in the hospital with COVID last January. The doctors expressed concern over his low heart rate and considered giving him a drug to increase it. They changed their minds after discussing it with me and learning that it ran in the family. My father thankfully made a full recovery. All of the males who have passed on my fathers side, lived to their later 90’s.

@@soldieroftoughlove7635 lol what does it pump?

[@peterharridge8565]

@@tomstricklin3409 Likely you may feel the need for carbs when cycling a reasonable amount. Say 300M a week. How is this 100m made up, say 25M X 4 days. And what intensity in that ride. Likely not that intense, after a run what would it be (your recovery HR). If I ride at 18 MPH (on flat) lucky to get 100 HR. Obviously my recovery HR would be my resting HR as have done nothing. The issue is with rest HR it could be a heart defect meaning your heart hasn't properly put your HR up to the required rate. That is so with me. Basically its hereditary, some people will not know if they are sedentary. For example my sister who on putting on my watch had a HR of 55, not done a days intense exercise (walks occasonally) since she was 14 if then. So you say yours is 45, if all you did was 100M a week, not enough to get 45 or lower. I'd get checked out. I had 40 HR at age of 19 (was in Hospital with fractured Jaw). How much cycling had I done at age of 19, nowhere near enough to get that HR. Maybe 200M tops per week. TDF cyclists have HR's of say 32-40, but they have been doing 400M a week for years. My lowest HR, 32, was when I was taken by ambulance to Hospital . I don't think that's a coincidence.

[@ChristiansPrayingTogether]

This is great info ! Women have smaller hearts so often the pulse is 70bpm, yet women often live longer than men with slower bpm. So this is great info, but there are many factors at play. When I'm working out daily my pulse is often between 50-60bpm, but if I take time off, my pulse will go up to 65-75 bpm. Before my period I'll have a day of 90bpm and nothing I can do about it. So it varies. I don't want to live my life by a fit bit. Still, this is great info and useful. Magnesium got rid of heart palps I had for years. So things help but just enjoy your life - the old timers say happiness is long life not a fit bit 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

When I'm in Ketosis I have more energy. I'm 76 years old and feel great I'm 6' 4" and weigh 222 pounds and it's not easy keeping my weight that low (I like to snack). One of my biggest problems is staying asleep, no problem falling asleep, I keep waking up 4 times per night, I must take Melatonin every time I wake up (normally I take 50 mg Melatonin/night, I'd had two horribly painful Prostrate operations (for enlarged Prostrate) which in my opinion have been complete failures. I just found out (thanks to you) about Tryptophan which I plan on ordering. I typically sleep 5 hours/night, I want to sleep 8 hours. For awhile (over a year) I was taking Zolpidem 5mg, which my health insurance drug refuses to pay for. Taking Zolpidem allowed me to sleep for 3 hours. I've also (even before I discovered you) intermittent fasting.

[@grahamnewton4381]

This is positive from my point of view in that although my resting heart rate has increased over the years, at the age of 73, it’s now about 50 (no medication involved). I eat well but have plenty of carbs and sleep on average about 7 hours a night. I have however done vigorous exercise including running, cycling, martial arts etc since my early teens and still exercise daily.

[@mimibaker2022]

Thanks, Dr. Berg. Could you also do a video on heart rate variability?

[@debcrisp6335]

I would like to see a video on it as well. I was reading about it the other day. Very interesting.

[@Daisy_982]

I pulled myself back from stage 4 CKD by keto and IF. Lost 76 pounds so far. At my worst pulse rate was 93 with metabolic syndrome and Afib. Both have disappeared as well as diabetes. Resting heart rate mainly in the 60s even with just moderate activity. You can heal yourself as no Dr ever touched on doing keto, nutrition or fasting. Just prescribed meds and more meds. I refused stating and did what I knew worked best for me.

[@askfaisalmuslim]

Did the doctor prescribed metformin for you?

[@Daisy_982]

@@askfaisalmuslim At first they did. Then I found out it was destroying my kidneys but I had to tell the Dr myself to take me off. YOU have to be in control of what works for you. No one else cares.

Is not animal protein bad for kidneys? I want to go keto for diabetes blood pressure and higher heart rate but the doctors tell me dont eat animals proteins also they say nothing send me home with higher blood pressure and heart rate.

My 17 year old son had his resting pulse rate taken at the doctors office and it came out to 57. The doctor freaked out stating that it was too low and now we have to go every 2 weeks to have his vital checked; laying down, siting and standing.

Thanks for the video. I’m 53 and my pulse rate stays around 60 until I got put on bp meds. Now it’s between 70 to 90. I don’t like increasing that much.

55 years old and I’m 52 BPM according to my Fitbit

[@la196]

I have the older Charge 2 fitbit. If I get my bpm to show on my display, then tap the display once, it shows the resting heart rate which is what he's really referring to in this particular video. Not sure which Fitbit you have but just thought I'd mention it to see if your model will display that for you too:)

[@300zxdriver]

Your Fitbit monitors your heart rate and will tell you your resting rate. Sync it to your phone or iPad. Lots of information on there.

Oh well I've had it then.... My resting rate is 88..92 BPM, do lots of dog walking and healthy Keto. (Not that am worried.). Will try tweaking the vits and minerals now that am counting beat rates, see whether anything causes changes.

[@rugrat1235]

There are many factors regarding a resting pulse rate left out of this video. Tachycardia & bradycardia shoulda been addressed. My grandmother's heart rate was 45-50 bpm, but in her particular case it didn't indicate better heart health, but bradycardia. Average resting heart rate for adults is 60 - 100 bpm.

[@nickbardan3867]

If you believe 100 or even 80 is a normal heart rate... You're very wrong as well as those who come up with these numbers

Hi Dr Berg, I’ve started Keto and 20:4 IF, and am feeling great. I also consume Udiliv 300 right after lunch. Is it ok to continue Udiliv? My doctor prescribed it after detecting grade 1 fatty liver + polyps in gall bladder.

I had a period of intense stress and resultant immune systems issues. My resting HR went down to mid-30s in this time and I was regularly experiencing vasovagal syncope (fainting). Why would stress cause my rhr to drop? I no longer have this issue and my rhr when I'm well-rested and not stressed is low 50s. I'm a 39 yr old woman.

Great video DR as usual Can you do a video on pvcs and pacs? I get occasional ones and was checked out by my cardiologist and had all testing and he said there benign as long as your heart is mechanical good. I know they cause a lot of anxiety for people. Im 52 didn't start getting them till I was 50 Thank you!!

[@cacinaz8802]

Thanks Dr. Berg, but this one left me wanting more. Is there an average lifespan that we can calculate based on resting BPM? I realize a lot of other factors must be considered but does 60 BPM translate to 85 years, etc.? Also note that some athletes die early, perhaps because they pushed their bodies too hard for too long. BTW since we have been following your advice I have dropped 36 pounds and my wife is down 28 pounds (I'm 67 and she is 77). We are feeling much better. We simply cut out the starches and alcohol. I walk about 2 miles most mornings and practice intermittent fasting. We have hit a set point but also know we need to kick into another gear to lose more.

[@lindahockham5081]

Dr. Berg you may no longer be representative of what the diet alone is doing for your body. I know there are millions of adoring followers that keep your well being in their prayers daily. The combination is doing the rest us the world of good. Giving thanks and copious amounts of gratitude will make most individuals think they live a charmed life.❤️🇨🇦

I should really go to the doctor about my heart rate. I've always had a high heart rate around 100bpm at rest. I'm on beta blockers for anxiety and I had to go without them for one day and my heart rate shot up to 176bpm at rest. Luckily I managed to get my beta blocker prescription and it brought it back down to around 90 but it was a scary experience.

@Kelly I would suggest looking at alternative medical treatment programs to see if you can come up with a better solution. Let me say this so that I am clear I am not saying give up your medication or to drop it. Look for something that is gradual that may even use the same medication. Do some research to see what is available. Both functional and integrative medicine are great approaches.

[@MMA-CLIPS2]

Are you doing keto/low carb diet? How often do you exercise? Do more and incorporate intermittent fasting. Get off anything the doctors are prescribing, it's all junk.
