Part 5/7:
Heart Rate Awareness: Tracking resting heart rate regularly can provide insights into overall health and well-being, helping individuals adjust lifestyle factors like diet and exercise.
Nutrition and Timeliness: Eating lighter meals earlier in the evening is associated with a lower resting heart rate and thus improved sleep results.
