Once limited to elite athletes, Heart Rate Variability is emerging as a potential, real-time measure of nervous system health and burnout risks

- TANISHA SAXENA

In a world obsessed with step counts, calorie burns, and sleep tracking, Heart Rate Variability, a relatively lesser known health metric, is quietly gaining traction among clinicians, biohackers, and wellbeing enthusiasts. It may lack the instant gratification of a 10,000-step goal, but it offers something far more profound: real-time insight into your nervous system's resilience and early warning signs of stress-induced illness.

Sakshi Srivastava has been living with anxiety for years. The 28-year-old manages it without medication through disciplined routine, and meditation. But it wasn't until a recent hospital visit that she heard of Heart Rate Variability, or HRV. A doctor mentioned it while explaining stress-related symptoms, and the idea lingered with her. Curious, Srivastava began tracking her HRV. "It gave me language for what I was feeling," she says. "Now I can see when my body is in fight-or-flight mode-and how to pull back."

RAHUL'S REIGN OF RELENTLESS DEFEATS

IT began not with a whisper, but with a political detonation across the Gangetic plains. Last week, Bihar, always a keen weathervane for shifting political winds, delivered a verdict so mortifying for the Congress that even its most seasoned apologists struggled to dress it up. Contesting 61 seats, the party staggered out with a miserable six. It wasn't a defeat-it was a spectacle of collapse. And at its centre, as always, stood Rahul Gandhi, the prudish prince of a shrinking empire, presiding over the most dramatic political implosion in the history of a once-dominant national party.
