No wonder yogis look young and live long...

~Next week, another year will be added to this mortal's body.

Slow metabolism seems to be related to longevity according to this study.  How do we reduce our metabolic rates?  The article suggests that we can do that through low calorie diets.  For the yogis, it is called mitahara.

According to exercise scientists, regular moderate intensity exercise is enough for good health.  Now the physiologists are suggesting us to slow down our metabolism by eating moderately.  Isn't that what the ancient yogis have been advocating?

Read the article, "Increased metabolic rate may lead to accelerated aging."
