Actually there is a big school of thought that low basal rate makes you live longer and a high one makes you live fast and die.


Any source?


Read up on caloric restriction and longevity. This link came up but there are others. Not sure how solid this theory is, I am just mentioning it because OP was very sure it's the other way around.
