You mean slower the heart rate better is the health..


Maybe for an athlete, but not for the average person. IIRC, 60 is bad. (Or
maybe 50.)

There are many "indicators" of good health. Weight, body fat %, heart rate,
blood pressure, the speed at which your pulse returns to normal after
strenuous exercise, your cholesterol level, the amount of sugar, liver and
kidney enzimes in your blood, the list goes on. I'm pretty sure that
*nobody* is able to keep up, 100%, with everything. That's the way it is! To
try and count the indicators of good or bad health would be like trying to
count the grains of sand on the beach. Take care of yourself, see a doctor
when you need to & be happy.


I heard during the Zoology lecture during my college days, the slower
the heart beat of the organism, the longer is it's life. I've heard
that Yogi's in India, try to get their heart rate below.. any updates?
