With new technologies at forefront, we have seen a number of wearables & other tech devices tracking number of useful parameters at plasma level. One of the growing tech pieces is smart rings which could measure stuff such as Heart Rate Variability(HRV) & sleep patterns. Research has also found that gut-brain axis has a role to play in HRV & people having IBD have low HRV While HRV is a good measure to learn about our stress response, sleep patterns & inflammatory cascades, it leaves a great gap. What is the actionable once you know your HRV is low? What dietary changes should you make ?  How can you regulate this score? To find answers to these questions, it is important to understand & measure various pathways at molecular level which impacts HRV. What could cause low HRV? -Is it LPS Production? -Low GABA Production? -Elevated uric acid production? -Histamine Overproduction? -Low Nitric Oxide production? -Low Butyrate Production? Until we know which specific pathway or combination of pathways is causing HRV & what specific mechanisms of action is required to regulate the score , tracking HRV through these new age smart rings is of no use Similarly just tracking your sleep is half baked cake. Multiple reasons could disrupt sleep patterns -Is it gut dysbiosis that is producing neurotoxin metabolites reaching the brain & activating the HPA axis, thereby causing stress & obstructing sleep? -Or oral dysbiosis due to high fluoride in toothpaste which is disrupting melatonin production? https://lnkd.in/gmPmccP2 We at Genefitletics collects & analyses your molecular data to measure your chemistry & functions performed by gut & oral microbiome at molecular level to understand specific pathways which are impacting HRV & provide precision nutrition interventions to bring your body back into homeostasis.

Beyond Steps: How Smartwatches with BP Monitoring Can Help You Live a Healthier Life Traditional blood pressure cuffs can be bulky and inconvenient. Taking a reading often requires sitting still in a specific position, making it difficult to integrate into your daily routine. Smartwatches with BP monitoring offer a discreet and convenient alternative. With a simple press or gesture on your wrist, you can get a reading anytime, anywhere. This allows you to track your BP throughout the day, capturing a more complete picture of your overall health.

Understanding Cardiovascular Age and Its Importance for Your Health

I'm paying attention to this one from strength and aging expert Joan Pagano! She explains how 'hand grip strength' is a biomarker of aging. "Studies have shown that grip strength is strongly correlated with cardiovascular health. In fact, a strong grip has been shown to be a better predictor of cardiovascular health than traditional measures like blood pressure and cholesterol levels." Joan provides a few great suggestions for building grip strength including resistance training and squeezing stress ball.

At #Zirtui we are early adoptors of the ŌURA ring, an incredible smart device that tracks your sleep, activity and many more parameters such as heart rate variability. Bad sleep habits are a driver of aging and disease and that is also why we developed THE dream, our blend to help creating a relaxing sleep ritual. We’ve been impatiently awaiting ŌURA’s latest innovation: cardiovascular age. The sensors in your ring measure changes in blood volume in your finger arteries which is a measure for artery stiffness. Stiffer arteries are correlated with an ‘older’ heart. As cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of death in the western world, tracking your cardiovascular health is key for longevity. #biologicalage #longevity #livingfortomorrow

Happy World Heart Day, dedicated to our valued partners in the professional fitness and health industry! 🌍❤️ Let's celebrate by diving into a critical aspect of heart health – Visceral Fat! Visceral fat, the hidden peril around vital organs, is a significant concern for your members' or patients heart health. Here's why explaining why a healthier lifestyle can make all the difference to them: 1️⃣ Visceral Fat Awareness: Help them to grasp the importance of managing visceral fat. It's not just about appearances; it's about optimizing heart health. 2️⃣ Heart Health: Encourage them to make their heart's well-being a priority by addressing visceral fat. Reducing it can substantially lower the risk of heart disease and related issues. 3️⃣ Energy Boost: Shedding visceral fat empowers them with the energy needed for daily tasks and fitness pursuits. 4️⃣ Mental Well-being: A healthier lifestyle can enhance mood and mental well-being, alleviating stress on the heart. 5️⃣ Quality Sleep: Quality rest supports visceral fat reduction, ensuring them they will wake up refreshed and ready to conquer each day. 6️⃣ Stronger Immunity: Reducing visceral fat heightens the effectiveness of the immune system in safeguarding the heart. Use this occasion to remind your members about the importance of heart health by addressing visceral fat. Small changes today pave the way for substantial heart health benefits tomorrow! ❤️🏋️♀️🍏 Click here to see our Professional devices https://lnkd.in/eDaWXBFq ❤️ #WorldHeartDay #HeartHealth #VisceralFatAwareness #ProfessionalFitness #TANITA #TANITAPro #fitness #fitnessmotivation #bodypositivity #bodybuilding #bodytransformation #fitnesscentre #gym #gymlife #bodycompositionmonitor #Health #Medical #medicalcare #Medicalequipment #Medicaldevices #MedicalTechnology #DiabetesManagement #MedicalDevices #HealthTech #CorporateWellness #HealthcareTechnology #WellnessClinic #ElderlyCare #ClinicalNutrition #HealthcareInnovation

How to live longer? Improve your cardiorespiratory fitness. Let's look at what happened to 5,107 48-year-old men after 46 years of follow-up. Journal of the American College of Cardiology - 2018 Clausen J, et al. Midlife Cardiorespiratory Fitness and the Long-Term Risk of Mortality. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2018 Aug, 72 (9) 987–995. https://lnkd.in/ed3GqPzR • VO₂ max definition: In that study, cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with the VO₂ max value, value that refers to the maximum amount of oxygen your body can absorb and use during exercise. It measures your aerobic fitness levels. • Average VO₂ max values: Average untrained adult → 40 mL/kg/min Trained adult (Marathon in 4 hours) → 50-55 mL/kg/min Eliud Kipchoge’s (Marathon in 2 hours) → 90 mL/kg/min • In the study, they made 4 groups based on VO2 max values: -Lowest (5%) -Low normal (45%) -High normal (45%) -Highest (5%) • A total of 5,107 men with a mean age of 48.8 ± 5.4 years were included in the study. • During the 46 years of follow-up, 4,700 (92%) men died; 2,149 (42.1%) of the men died of cardiovascular disease. • Compared with below the lower limit of normal CRF, low normal CRF was associated with 2.1 years (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.7 to 3.4; p = 0.002), high normal with 2.9 years (95% CI: 1.5 to 4.2; p < 0.001), and above the upper limit of normal with 4.9 years (95% CI: 3.1 to 6.7; p < 0.001) longer mean life expectancy. #healthcare #longevity #sports
