What are good practices that make people live longer?馃憦馃憦馃憦
Do this test to see if you'll live longer:
It's called the Sit and Raise Test.
Here's how to do it: You stand up, cross your legs back, and go into a seated position.
Then from that position, you get yourself back up to a seated position.
Researchers tested 2000 adults ages 51-80.
They followed them for an average of 6.3 years & out of the 159 people who died only 2 scored a perfect 10.
Those who scored the lowest scores hada 5-6x higher risk of dying than those who scored 8-10.
Older adults who have muscular strength & flexibility are less likely to fall.
Falls are the leading cause of unintentional injury- related deaths for people 65 & older.
The sit & raise is a test for basic strength & mobility.
You lose a point if: - You place your hands on the floor - Need support - Touch knee to the ground - Lose balance - Support yourself on your side of the leg
You get 0 points if you can't do this at all.
Scored a 10? Great!!
Scored less than a 10?
Use that as a baseline to improve on muscular strength & flexibility
