June is National Safety Month, and Save-A-Beat is using this month to remind our community of one important truth: preparation saves lives.

Emergencies can happen anywhere, at home, at work, at school, at church, or in the middle of a normal day. The first people to respond are often parents, coworkers, coaches, teachers, friends, and neighbors.

That is why CPR, AED, BLS, and First Aid training matter. Safety is not just something we talk about after something happens. It is something we prepare for before it does.

This month, we will be sharing practical tips, real-life reminders, and life-saving education to help you feel more confident when seconds count.

Follow along this month and share this with someone who wants to be more prepared.

Your resting heart rate is one of the easiest ways to check in on your heart. Are you paying attention to it?

One number. Two fingers. Sixty seconds. A lot of useful information.

Here is how to check it: sit quietly for 5 minutes, place two fingers on your wrist or neck, and count your beats for 60 seconds.

What it can mean:

60 to 100 bpm is the normal adult range
Below 60 may be normal for some people, especially those who are very fit
Above 100 at rest can be linked to dehydration, stress, illness, or other health concerns
Above 120 consistently should be checked by a medical professional promptly

A high resting heart rate can be a sign that your heart is working harder than it should.

At Save-A-Beat, we believe prevention starts with awareness. Tracking your resting heart rate over several days can help you notice patterns, especially after poor sleep, stress, or sickness.

Check yours today, then check it again tomorrow morning. Patterns can tell you more than one single reading.
