Tips for Healthy Living

If you have been searching for a way to get a handle on your sleep quality, your fitness training goals, and overall level of daily stress, then take a look at WHOOP. While there are several quality fitness tracking devices on the market, WHOOP differentiates itself in a couple of important ways.
Its algorithms track sleep cycles, quality, and sufficiency with superb accuracy. Based on first-hand experience, it tells you how long you sleep, when you fall asleep, and how long your REM (rapid eye movement, or deepest) sleep lasts.
What’s really neat, WHOOP calculates a daily recovery score, which reflects how your body is responding to stress, exercise, food, and other lifestyle factors. It does this by measuring heart rate variability (HRV) during deep sleep, which is an indirect indication of how well the nervous system is functioning. Plus, it tracks heart strain 24/7 so that both small and large amounts of daily physical activity can be accounted for.
Not only does this allow you to track all your vitals while you work out, but WHOOP takes this information and lets you know how much sleep you need for your body to recover properly.
WHOOP’s mobile app allows you to see all this information and delivers personalized insights and actionable feedback based on your unique data, behaviors, and goals.
