Your heart has been running on stress mode for hours, and you might not even notice.
When you're stressed, your nervous system stays in fight-or-flight: heart racing, blood pressure up, ready for a threat that isn't actually there. It doesn't turn off just because the stressful moment passed.
Here's the fastest way to tell your body it can stand down: breathe in for 5 seconds, breathe out for 5 seconds. Do it along with the video. Even one minute of this can bring your heart rate down in real time.
Stress isn't separate from heart health. It's part of it, and it's one of the few risk factors you can start managing right now, for free, wherever you are.
Try it. Then tell us how you felt after. 💚
