things like tortoises live so long because they have super slow heart beats

And you gotta be well over 7 feet to take in more than 4000 calories a day to survive

Wrong

mice have super fast heart beats

if you don't sit on your ass all day can definitely do that

And if you have so large muscles you need over 4000 calories a day to keep em up you are definitely unhealthy

I'm 6'2 and about 200ish pounds and I need about 3500 calories a day

Yea that’s pretty normal

to not lose weight

given my exercise routine

Yea makes sense

if I go on a long run I can pretty easily need 4000

regardless, you will still not live as long as someone that needs less generally

Yea but would you need to eat 4000 calories a day?

If I worked a more physical job probably yes

Then you would be unhealthy

No doubts about that

nah tbh

I don't work 10-12 hours

You can’t say that working a very physically demanding job is healthy for you

I would have to exercise less

I do the equivalent of office work anything else would be more

Towards the finite beats thing

resting heart rate is linked to morbidity

athletes tend to have lower resting heart rates

extremely muscular people I guess would have higher ones?

I mean

Those kind of athletes run a lot

And do similar stuff to that

Like swimming

Their risk of heart attack is from over-exertion

Biking

Etc

Is pretty high

Some people will kill themselves at like 24 trying to run too much

Yup

Marathoners moreso

Being a pro athlete is very unhealthy

Athletes have resting heart rates around 30-40 bpm

Crazy stuff
