HEART RATE

A healthy goal is to have it at 55-65 heartbeats per minute. Athletes pride themselves on it. A lower resting heart rate indicates they’re in better physical shape, so their hearts don’t have to pump as hard. That usually means a lower risk of heart problems. At a higher rate, the heart needs more oxygen, stressing the cardiovascular system. The best way to reduce your heart rate is regular exercise.

As a senior citizen I have to take into account as you get older your rate gets faster. Thin 140 lb people will have better rates that 300 lbs fat people. Mine is around 65 when I wake up and 70 to 72 once I move around. Not bad, not good, right at the borderline. I take mine with a monitor once a day along with my blood pressure so if anything begins to spike, I know to begin looking into it fast. This morning I was 124 over 84 on the Bp, so I know I am good to go for the day, everything is working fine, no problemos. I have reduced the size of my heart and the problems that were going to kill me, I over came.

I closely monitor my stool, what goes out, how it goes out, tells you a lot. It gives me the data to alter what I eat. I closely monitor my urine, I want it white, when it gets yellow, I drink more water to flush my self white.

You boys pay more attention to your car, checking your oil, tranny and water, than your own bodies. You can buy a new car, but you cant buy a new body when you burn it out.

All of my heart problems I was having, it appears I have corrected them. I have passed two stress tests and EKG'S with flying colors. I am ready to go back flying jets? I am passing all physicals. Once I got control of my blood pressure with medication, it all fell back into line. I am seriously thinking of climbing the Matterhorn this spring, no joke, serious as a heart attack. If my rotor cuff injury heals totally and am off to der land of cheeze. I either summit, or that will be one hell of a way to fookin go out.

An Australian-led international study of patients with cardiovascular disease has shown that heart beat rate plays a key role in the risk of heart attack. The study, published in The Lancet (September 2008) studied 11,000 people, across 33 countries, who were being treated for heart problems. Those patients whose heart rate was above 70 beats per minute had significantly higher incidence of heart attacks, hospital admissions and the need for surgery. University of Sydney professor of cardiology Ben Freedman from Sydney's Concord hospital said "If you have a high heart rate there was an increase in heart attack, there was about a 46 percent increase in hospitalizations for non-fatal or fatal heart attack.

So get it below 70 and get back in the gym.

Golfers are like pool players, they can stand over a putt too long and their heart begins to race. I found I was cool playing people I knew I could beat. When I played people that were going to be hard to beat, I let fear come in and my heart rate took off. That can lead to a adrenalin drop and then you are toast. I had to train my self to have no fear, and to remain calm and unaffected by the way the match would be going. I got a watch around my wrist that would monitor this. I would play matches for money and see my rate spike up. It took a lot of training to be able to play and keep my heart rate calm. You can do it, but you first have to know you have the problem, then set out to fix it.
