4) shopping

Women Have a Faster Baseline Heart Rate Than Men
First of all, on average, women tend to have a faster baseline heart rate than men. This difference is seen in girls, on an average, as young as five years old. There is also a shorter sinus node refractory time � this means that it takes a shorter time for the SA node to recover and become ready to fire an impulse again1.
