Some people say, “I want to know if I’m still healthy, if I’m prematurely aging, if I’m part of the obese brigade, but I don’t know how to test for it.” Therefore, I would like to introduce a few very simple ways to test your body, and a few actions to let you know your health condition.
Single Standing Foot vs. Body Aging
The participant placed both hands naturally downward, close to the sides of the thighs, closed the eyes, raised one foot, and stood on one foot, let your family check the time for you.
The degree of aging can be determined by looking at the time it takes to stand still on one foot. The following criteria are used.
- The time to stand on one foot is 9.9 seconds for men aged 30 to 39 years.
- The one-legged standing time is 8.4 seconds for men aged 40 to 49.
- The time to stand on one foot was 7.4 seconds for men aged 50 to 59 years.
- The one-legged standing time for men aged 60 to 69 is 5.8 seconds.
It should be noted that the female standard is calculated ten years later than the male standard. The longer the time to stand, the slower the aging process. Failure to meet the standard means that the biological age is higher than the actual age, and it is important to take care of your body and keep your mood happy.
Bowing vs. Heart
Sit quietly for five minutes before beginning the test. The test steps are as follows.
- Measure the number of pulses of the clock and mark it as a.
- Stand erect, bend forward slightly, and then return to the bowing position.
- After resting for one minute, measure the pulse number and mark it as c.
- Add up the numbers a, b, and c, subtract 200, and divide by 10 to get the result.
If the result is between zero and three, it means the heart is strong; between three and six, the heart is good; between six and nine, the heart is in fair condition; between nine and twelve, you should pay attention to heart problems; if it exceeds twelve, go to the hospital as soon as possible.
Stair climbing vs. physical strength
5 floors, for example, about thirty years old, step by step two steps, you can do quickly up to the fifth floor, but also feel relaxed, it means that they have good health; about fifty years old can do step by step up to the fifth floor, without stopping to rest and the use of handrails, and there is no obvious asthma phenomenon, then, that the health situation is good. No matter what age, if the phenomenon of panting, rapid heartbeat, it proves that physical strength is not very good; climbing the third floor of both tired and wheezing people, the body is weak, should strengthen the exercise.
Waist-to-hip ratio vs. obesity
The World Health Organization determines whether a person is obese by looking at the waist-to-hip ratio. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, women with a waist-to-hip ratio greater than 0.85 are at risk for cardiovascular disease.
