What do you think about this:
"The maximum heart rate oscillations at respiratory frequency occurred at approximately 0.1 Hz (six breaths per minute), the one frequency at which heart rate oscillates with breathing at a 0° phase relationship, i.e., exactly in phase. Thus breathing at this frequency produces both the highest amplitude of RSA and the most efficient gas exchange."
Average people are far away from this breathing pattern!
What if breathing in that way all day long, as buteyko or experienced meditators tend to do, will naturaly slow the heart beat cause of their much effizient gas exchange?
Would that explain the lower heartbeat while still having a healthy metabolism?
