heart rate variability

Heart Variability and Stress Explained: How to Measure It, Healthy Ranges, How to Increase It

Heart Rate Variability became an area of interest during the 70s, when it was deployed to monitor the health of newborn babies as well as to track recovery rates of athletes. Since this time, it has been shown to provide insights on the overall health

Western medicine may be late to the party but, in recent years, as begun to cultivate a relationship with meditation.

anti-estrogen

The Science of Lowering Estrogen For Weight Loss: How Receptor Action Determines Fat Storage

Through the estrogen receptors that are so densely situated in fat cells, estrogen promotes fat storage in sites beneath the skin. It does so by shutting down the cell’s adrenaline receptors (this will be important later), receptors that would normally sense the ‘request’ for circulating
