Some people may be related to genetic or physiological factors, such as congenital sinus bradycardia. As long as it is kept above 55 times/minute, there will be no special discomfort below this situation. Is the heartbeat fast or slow? What's the heart rate? Cardiologists tell you that it is clear from the above picture that the life span of animals and heart rate are indeed negatively correlated, while humans are not on this line, and the relationship is not obvious.
So we can see that the most important factor that determines life span is species, not heart rate. People and animals are different species, and people's life span can only be compared with other animals. Slow heart rate does not necessarily mean longevity, because there are many factors that affect a person's longevity, and it is not possible to simply judge the length of life by heart rate. As long as the heart rate is below 60~ 100 beats/min in a quiet state, it is a healthy heart rate and can live a long life.
Finally, back to the question we started, is meditation really longer than exercise? The answer is no. Just smiling. Don't take it seriously For longevity, there is no absolute movement, and the best state is the combination of movement and movement. For longevity, the best state is the combination of static and dynamic! This has nothing to do with stillness. It means sitting on your back all the time. If you sit for a long time, your metabolism will slow down and your organs will become dysfunctional. So the quiet here can be understood as a more suitable state of mind.
Although exercise is good for health, we should not blindly mess around. Long-term strenuous exercise will make human metabolism in a vigorous state, but it will accelerate the wear and aging of organs and tissues, which is not conducive to health. This is the brain's ability to use energy to improve brain function. The improvement of executive function of the brain is related to the reduction of the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
