A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats per minute. To measure your heart rate, simply check your pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. To check your pulse at your wrist, place two fingers between the bone and the tendon over your radial artery — which is located on the thumb side of your wrist. When you feel your pulse, count the number of beats in 15 seconds. Multiply this number by four to calculate your beats per minute.

Keep in mind that many factors can influence heart rate, including:

Age

Fitness and activity levels

Being a smoker

Having cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol or diabetes

Air temperature

Body position (standing up or lying down, for example)

Emotions

Body size

Medications

Although there's a wide range of normal, an unusually high or low heart rate may indicate an underlying problem. Consult your doctor if your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats a minute (tachycardia) or if you're not a trained athlete and your resting heart rate is below 60 beats a minute (bradycardia) — especially if you have other signs or symptoms, such as fainting, dizziness or shortness of breath.

What is overall good health?

A person who has good physical health is likely to have bodily functions and processes working at their peak. This is due not only to an absence of disease. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition and adequate rest all contribute to good health. People receive medical treatment to maintain the balance, when necessary.

Overall well-being and balance key to good health

The word “health” refers to a state of complete emotional and physical well-being. Health care exists to help people maintain this optimal state of health. Good health is central to handling stress and living a longer, more active life. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” A person who has good physical health is likely to have bodily functions and processes working at their peak. This is due not only to an absence of disease. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition and adequate rest all contribute to good health. People receive medical treatment to maintain the balance, when necessary. Physical well-being involves pursuing a healthful lifestyle to decrease the risk of disease. Maintaining physical fitness, for example, can protect and develop the endurance of a person’s breathing and heart function, muscular strength, flexibility and body composition. Good physical health can work in tandem with mental health to improve a person’s overall quality of life. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, mental health refers to a person’s emotional, social and psychological well-being. Mental health is as important as physical health as part of a full, active lifestyle. It is harder to define mental health than physical health; however, with improvements in testing, doctors are now able to identify some physical signs of some types of mental illness in CT scans and genetic tests. It is important to approach “health” as a whole rather than as a series of separate factors. All types of health are linked, and people should aim for overall well-being and balance as the keys to good health.
