According to researchers at Northwestern University, middle-aged people with high resting heart rates are at risk of developing diabetes later in life and even dying from the disease.
The researchers took data from a study of 15,000 non-diabetic people, ages 35-64, and whose heart rate had been measured between 1967 and 1973.
The results, published in the journal Diabetes Care, showed that after the age of 65, 1,877 participants had diabetes-related hospital claims, and 410 had died. The likelihood of having diabetes increased by 10% for every 12 beats-per-minute increase in resting heart rate.
Your heart rate is a simple tool that can tell a lot about your metabolic health.
To lower your resting heart, you must improve your cardiorespiratory health... and that means making exercise a part of your daily routine.
