Cardiovascular Badge: Enhancing Wellbeing through Cardiovascular Health

The Cardiovascular badge is earned by components of the building that support and strengthen the cardiovascular system.

Cardiovascular health refers to the functionality and fluidity of the cardiovascular system, which consists of the heart, blood vessels, and circulatory system. The cardiovascular system is also responsible for fueling and detoxifying cells, thus affecting the entirety of the body. Cardiovascular health is a crucial aspect of both physical and mental wellbeing - it reduces the risk of heart diseases, strokes, and other cardiovascular conditions, and has the ability to improve mental health (1). Prioritizing cardiovascular health can prevent such health conditions, keep systems running smoothly, and improve overall quality of life, making it a crucial area of focus.

Frequency® aims to improve your cardiovascular health by introducing elements to Frequency® buildings that require low-to-no effort for you to utilize. Additionally, adopting healthy habits such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management can help keep the heart and blood vessels healthy. Exercise and healthy physical stress, in particular, help improve blood flow and strengthen the heart. improving quality of life and reducing the risk of serious health events.

Amenities with this badge

Cold Plunge

Cold water immersion, also known as cold therapy, has been shown to aid the cardiovascular system by reducing inflammation and insulin resistance while increasing insulin sensitivity and reducing or positively transforming fat tissues (2). Cold plunging provides a controlled environment that simulates the body's natural response to cold stress and helps it adapt accordingly.

Sauna

There is a strong correlation between sauna use and a reduction in the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, and all-cause mortality (3). Sauna use provides a controlled environment that simulates the body's natural response to heat stress and helps it adapt accordingly.

Air Quality

Air quality is a critical factor of cardiovascular health. Air pollution has been shown to increase the likelihood of cardiac events, making it crucial to ensure that indoor air quality is optimized (4). Proper air filtration can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and improve overall health.
