Dr. Berg teaches you a simple test to rule out risk of a heart attack. Its all about your recovery after exercise.
Those people who can recover fast have a lower risk of getting a heart attack. This stems from the system that controls recovery – autonomic nervous system, specifically – parasympathetics. This system is always in the background causing you to recover and bounce back.
Assess your resting pulse rate, then peak pulse rate after 1 minute of exercise (70% of max.), then re-check your recovery pulse rate 1 minute later. Subtract the Peak pulse rate from the recovery pulse rate to get your number.
- Less than 12 beats recovery: Higher Risk
- 13-20: Moderate Risk
- 21-40: You’re good 40+: Real fit
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
