Intelligent Heart

Have you ever thought about counting your heartbeats instead of your age? When I wrote this book, my heartbeat count was 2,365,200,000. Roughly one second of your life equals one heartbeat. It can be thrilling to discover that your intelligence and wisdom grow with the number of your heartbeats. But how does the intelligent heart manage to keep its precision for billions of beats? Andrew J. Armour MD, found in 1991 that the heart contains a distinct nervous system made up of over 40,000 highly specialized neurons. Dr Andrew Armour compares the neurons to a computer in your heart. While the number of specialized nerve cells in the heart may seem small compared to the brain's about 86 billion neurons, the heart's neurons function like quantum chips, similar to qubits. 40,000 sophisticated neurons in your heart form a biological quantum computer, and it is a big one. It is a super quantum computer that surpasses even the most advanced artificial quantum computers, which, as of 2026, have around 1,000 qubits. The computer in your heart tracks every heartbeat throughout your life. It senses every part of your heart and, through the Vagus nerve, energizes your entire body, promoting life. You may be surprised to learn that new research confirms 80% of the information flowing through the Vagus nerve is driven by your heart. You cannot intentionally change your heart rate. Your intelligent heart but you can change your breathing. Your abdominal, breathing lowers your heart rate, increases your blood serum partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and improves your heart rate variability (HRV).
