Health psychology - research in the rhythm of the heart

We explore the interaction between psychological factors and physical health. We ask whether stress makes us ill and to what extent the rhythm of our heart provides information about health, resilience and performance. We are also interested in the potential promotion of health and increased well-being through slow breathing and interventions from positive psychology. Another aspect relates to our body awareness: does this play an important role in maintaining our health and can health behaviors such as physical activity or fasting have a positive effect on our well-being.
