A member asked:

I am 32 years old. my resting heart rate is sometimes in the high 50s and drops below 60 when i sleep. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A fit person may have resting heart rate in the 50s or 60s. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
