To our knowledge, although there is no research yet published that establishes a direct link between high risk COVID infections and reduced heart rate variability(HRV), there is little doubt that it exists.<\/p>\n<p>It stands to reason that making lifestyle choices to raise HRV levels reduces susceptibility to hospitalisation and possible death from COVID. Measuring the improvement of HRV levels adds tangible incentive to the commitments involved.<\/p>\n<p>At present age is used to distinguish people at risk from COVID-19, discriminating against people who lead a healthy lifestyle. HRV is a far more accurate measure, and not only determines who amongst the older population are not at risk, but also the younger that need protection from the virus.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Using this distinction, it becomes possible to isolate the &#8216;at risk&#8217;, while restoring normality to the rest of the population. And the \u2018at risk\u2019 have the choice to restore their lives through adopting a lifestyle that raises their HRV and improves their health.<\/p>\n<div class=\"speaker-mute footnotes_reference_container\"> <div class=\"footnote_container_prepare\"><p><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_label pointer\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_105_1();\">References<\/span><span role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" class=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button\" style=\"display: none;\" onclick=\"footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_105_1();\">[<a id=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_105_1\">+<\/a>]<\/span><\/p><\/div> <div id=\"footnote_references_container_105_1\" style=\"\"><table class=\"footnotes_table footnote-reference-container\"><caption class=\"accessibility\">References<\/caption> <tbody> \r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_105_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_105_1_1');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_105_1_1\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>1<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/pcd\/issues\/2021\/21_0123.htm\">Underlying Medical Conditions and Severe Illness Among 540,667 Adults Hospitalized With COVID-19, March 2020\u2013March 2021<\/a><\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_105_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_105_1_2');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_105_1_2\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>2<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hrvhealth.org\/blog\/?p=62\">COVID-19 is here for the long term<\/a><\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_105_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_105_1_3');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_105_1_3\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>3<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medrxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2021.08.24.21262415v1\">Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine-induced immunity: reinfections versus breakthrough infections<\/a><\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\"> <th scope=\"row\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index_combi pointer\"  onclick=\"footnote_moveToAnchor_105_1('footnote_plugin_tooltip_105_1_4');\"><a id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_105_1_4\" class=\"footnote_backlink\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">&#8593;<\/span>4<\/a><\/th> <td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hrvhealth.org\/index.php#tabs-4\">HRV Health research<\/a><\/td><\/tr>\r\n\r\n <\/tbody> <\/table> <\/div><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function footnote_expand_reference_container_105_1() { jQuery('#footnote_references_container_105_1').show(); jQuery('#footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_105_1').text('\u2212'); } function footnote_collapse_reference_container_105_1() { jQuery('#footnote_references_container_105_1').hide(); jQuery('#footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_105_1').text('+'); } function footnote_expand_collapse_reference_container_105_1() { if (jQuery('#footnote_references_container_105_1').is(':hidden')) { footnote_expand_reference_container_105_1(); } else { footnote_collapse_reference_container_105_1(); } } function footnote_moveToReference_105_1(p_str_TargetID) { footnote_expand_reference_container_105_1(); var l_obj_Target = jQuery('#' + p_str_TargetID); if (l_obj_Target.length) { jQuery( 'html, body' ).delay( 0 ); jQuery('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: l_obj_Target.offset().top - window.innerHeight * 0.2 }, 380); } } function footnote_moveToAnchor_105_1(p_str_TargetID) { footnote_expand_reference_container_105_1(); var l_obj_Target = jQuery('#' + p_str_TargetID); if (l_obj_Target.length) { jQuery( 'html, body' ).delay( 0 ); jQuery('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: l_obj_Target.offset().top - window.innerHeight * 0.2 }, 380); } }<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent long term study[1]Underlying Medical Conditions and Severe Illness Among 540,667 Adults Hospitalized With COVID-19, March 2020\u2013March 2021 from the CDC established that of the 540,667 of patients who were hospitalised, 94.9% had at least one underlying condition.
