My husband has a low heart rate of about 50 he is not that physically active and is overweight he says that a low heart rate is healthy is this true?

Generally speaking a slow heart rate, also known as bradycardia, is only considered healthy in the young and physically fit. It is hard to answer your question without a full understanding of the demographics of your husband (i.e. what is his BMI, how old is he, how much cardio exercise he gets in a given week, and if he has any symptoms that would indicate heart problems). In older people and those who are not physically fit bradycardia can tend to indicate a problem with the conduction system of the heart. If you are still concerned you should discuss the matter with your doctor.
