Is My Heart Rate Too Slow? Is there a link w/ my Diet? Posted: 10-15-07 13:31pm
I have been jogging (or walking at a very
fast pace) 4 miles per day for the past 10
years. I am 5'11" and i used to weigh 136
which was too skinny so I put on 15 lbs.
Now I want to get down to 145 and I
started restricting my calories (1200 per
day). I have always been a vegan and eat
low fat & healthy, and to diet I just
needed to cut my calories since I am
already eating healthy. My pulse used to
be around 55-60, but since I started
dieting it is around 47-48. I know that
exercise decreased RHR due to the heart
being able to pump blood more
effecienclty, but does dieting also make
it lower?
I am very educated in the health, fitness,
& nutrition field but I just need to
know if there is a link between dieting
& heart rate??!!
