Live Longer and have Greater Longevity by lowering your Resting Heart Rate. With Cardio Diet

Our resting heart rate is a direct indicator of how long we are going to live.

In the animal kingdom the animals with the highest heart rates have the shortest lives and the animals with the lowest heart rates live the longest. For example the Galapagos Tortoise has a resting heart rate of 6 beats per minute and lives 177 years.

Now we as humans can't get our heart rates down to 6 beats per minute but 50 is attainable. A resting heart rate of anywhere between 60 and 100 beats per minute is considered normal with 70 to 75 beats being the average. So how much difference does it make to have a heart rate of say 75 instead of 50? I read a couple of studies and the indicate it makes as much as 51% increase in mortality and if you are over 80 beats per minute then it suddenly jumps up to 200%! That is down right scary.
