Are low metabolism, low resting heart rate and irregular heart beat related?
While increasing heart rate during excercise is good, it is better and more healthy to have a lower resting heart rate. A lower resting heart rate means that your heart is stronger and can more efficiently work. Marathon runners and bikers typically have resting heart rates around 60 or very low because they are very healthy. Overweight and people who don’t excercise very much have heart rates around 80-90. If you haven’t been to your doctor, you should have all of these things checked out by a heart specialist. The body is infinitely complex and the doctor would need to get a complete history including every prescription drug, otc, herbal supplment etc that you are taking. So many body systems interact, that it could be either just how you are built, or one of them acting up. A thyroid test is always a good thing to check for questions of slow metabolism, especially if the heart rate is very low. Metabolism is mostly genetic. You can increase your basal metabollism by building muscle.
Arhythmia (irregular heart beat) has no impact at all on your metabolism.Your heart beat is somewhat linked to metabolism,but it’s more an indicator,not an effect.The primary impacts on your metabolism are lean muscle mass,thyroid levels,hypothalymus activity,testosterone levels.VO2 levels(respiration). Activity levels also have a profound effect,more active people obvously metabolize more energy.Metabolism is really the conversion of nutrients to energy in the cells mitochodria.It and digestion are often confused,but are completely different.Digestion is the break down of foods(macronutrients) like carbohydrates(reduced to glucose),proteins(peptide bonds broken releasing amino acids) and fats(triglycerides).All of these things can be metabolized after ketosis,gluconeogenisis or just a call for cellular fuel. Water has just been proven to have an impact on metabolism as well. http://www.webmd.com/content/article
