This seem to apply to animal too. Slow moving animals like turtles live a healthy life for hundred of years while fast moving top of the food chain animal like cheetah and lion die at a much younger age. Zoo animals don't have to deal with the stress of danger in the wild tend to live long, some time twice as long as their own kind that live in the wild.
The Vienamese Thich Nhat Hanh often suggest people to try Walking Meditation. Slow, relax, and "in the Now" walks. Maybe it work for him too. At 86 he still travels around the world teaching fulltime, while my dad find it hard walking to the mailbox every day.

This is very true. The "now" walk is really important when the body is in the "present" state, and the mind is in the "past" or "future" state, may be the mind asking to address the emotions about past or future. The sync is missing.
(I got this piece of information from the YouTube channel link I have it a new topic called chronic pain relief tips.)
