So, I've been reading all about Buteyko, CO2, reduced breathing and such and I came across this study http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6882/6/28.#B6 Apparently, according to this study, yoga and breathing restriction, as well as meditation, resulted in a significant fall in Basal Metabolic Rate. Now, I'm well aware that Ray Peat advocates hypermetabolism as a way to health and longevity. However, there are also numerous studies showing the beneficial effects of consistent meditation and yoga. From the view of a Peatarian, how can the benefits of yoga be reconciled with the anti-Peat effect of lowered metabolic rate?
