You're welcome, I elaborate on this topic as well in my next videos. Stress, sleep, recovery. on top of that I prove that accuracy is very questionable and premises that digesting is responsible for recovery is remote. the only benefit is that you can find what bothers your stomach the most and then replace it with something lighter which leads to better health in general.

@@Fit-4-Life Thank you again. I’m going to watch your other videos. This is all very interesting.

I'm not surprised as spicy food affects blood circulation and digestion, how was the body battery in the morning?

@@Fit-4-Life It was horrendous lol. Also, I usually have cottage cheese before bed and sometimes I have some stress measured in the first hour of sleep and sometimes I don't. Definitely can't tell anything conclusive about that. Do you find your stress levels correlate well with your recovery? Like if you work you reduce the stress levels your watch records are you sure you are improving recovery or could some of it just be pleasing the watch?

it's definitely affecting garmin measurements, but stomach problems reflect on skin condition and appears with rash spots on face. so I used to have days with lowest battery and feeling energetic, but digestive system always suffered. Going to make new video soon showing effect with ketosis and intermittent fasting

Thanks, I'm glad it helps :)

Well, not necessarily, as I prove in other videos following this one, accuracy of garmin is very questionable, many ppl complain about it, but if you change your food and then notice readings on stress and body battery to be more promising I would give a chance to keep trying and introducing more foods that make positive changes.

@@Fit-4-Life I too am chronically ill with POTS dysautonomnia and chronic fatigue syndrome. My body battery is frequently 5 day and night. I've done a lot with my digestion. It did not change my body battery. When people have ME/CFS, POTS or Long Covid - any type of dysautonomia, then the nervous system does not respond properly. It's chronically in stress. I'm 65 years old and been sick since my mid 20's after having a severe case of meningitis. I think a lot more people suffer with these types of dysautonomnisa and sadly, it's very difficult to get a proper diagnosis much less a valid treatment plan.

You can try sleep without garmin and see if there is any change. I don't wear it 24/7 and when I put it on first in the morning most of my readings is proper, when I wear it during the sleep my body battery is always lower in the morning. Garmin has problems with heart rate reading during activities, when you sleep garmin activates 'sleep activity' so readings are affected by activity. I made video about it proving that during walk you can switch your garmin to different activities every few minutes and your heart rate will be different in every activity despite being in walking all that time, I prove as well that classic pulse measurement with my fingers on my artery shows that most Garmin HR scores is circa 20-30 beats higher than actual real heart beat. and the last one, IQ Event feature of device, recognising automatically activities affects readings as well so the best way is to switch it of and then your HR reading should be most accurate to real pulse :) Do you drink coffee or any other form of caffeine?

​@@Fit-4-Life I'm very surprised to read you're not wearing your device during sleep. Garmin needs to track HRV during sleep. You're getting a body battery number you like with these tricks, but it isn't a real number that reflects anything. Also, Caffein doesn't impact HRV. Stress during sleep will lead to poor recovering and poor body battery and you should be feeling it. If you don't know the source, you could have undiagnosted sleep apnea. If everything else is fine and you feel fine, it's possible the watch just isn't working for you. Garmin doesn't have a problem tracking heart rate during sleep, it's the easiest thing for it. It's bad at guessing sleep stages and wake/REN. It does a have general problem tracking heart rate if the watch is a bit loose or if there are things like tattoos. or birth marks You should absolutely dump this watch and get something different if you think heart rate isn't trustworthy (i.e. 20-30 bpm off as you wrote) because in that case this watch is making you waste time worrying about numbers that are fiction. Personally, the watch and its metrics work well for me, but I'd wear a chest strap for running if I wanted full accuracy. But HRV is a slow trend metric. I am fully aware that the Apple Watch has been measured to be vastly superior in all of these metrics but right now I'm on garmin.

@@Fit-4-Life you can search for the garmin video named "You Asked, We Answered! Garmin HRV" on youtube. You need to wear the watch to sleep to get HRV status and sleep is the most accurate for the measurement

You are not Aline,,,

If that is still the problem it might be inflammation in digestion system - I just posted part 2 for this video, how to fix your stomach when you suffer from eating and exercising.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I have some gastro diagnoses, but I'm not sure it can keep me "stressed" the whole time I'm upright, maybe I just function differently, idk

Some people who suffer from liver disease, can only lay on right side when they have inflammation-or they need to pull their knees to the chest to relief the pain, sometimes even lying on back puts the stress on the liver or pancreas - so it takes 2-3 days/nights sleeping like that (on the right side) to feel better and it's OK, that's what doctors advise to patients too

Could suggest it could be nervous system disregulation. Your autonomic nervous system controls your digestive system and if you’re chronically stressed your digestive system will slow down. When you do eat your body has to work hard to digest
