The saying goes, “Health is priceless.” Everyone hopes to have a healthy body so that they can extend their lifespan. With the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, life expectancy is gradually increasing. Many people around us also pay great attention to personal health, which contributes to health and longevity.
For male friends, if your body is still strong after the age of 50, you can test yourself to see if longevity is approaching. If you can easily accomplish the following tasks, then you can enjoy it. If a man over 50 can effortlessly complete these tasks, congratulations, longevity might be calling out to you.
For men over 50, if you can still meet these standards, it indicates that you have a healthy body and are likely to live longer:
Sit-ups:
For male friends over 50, you can test your physical fitness by doing sit-ups. If after 50 you can still easily do sit-ups and can do 30-40 in one minute, congratulations, your physical fitness level is very high.
This exercise tests one’s waist and abdominal strength, reflecting the health of the kidneys. If you can easily meet the standards, then your kidneys are well maintained, your kidney energy is sufficient, and your kidney function is very strong, indicating good health and longevity.
Close-eyed single-leg standing:
We all know that as we age, the body’s various internal organs are in a state of decline, and the brain’s balance function is also gradually decreasing. When men reach 50, they can test their brain’s balance ability by standing on one leg with eyes closed.
Relax, close your eyes, slowly lift one leg off the ground, and start timing from the moment your foot leaves the ground to see how long you can endure. If you can hold for 8 seconds or more, congratulations, your body is relatively young, your balance is good, and your brain control is strong.
Stair climbing:
With advancing technology, we have many transportation options when going out, such as electric cars, motorcycles, cars, and buses. Many people lack the habit of walking, and elevators are common now. Even living on the 2nd or 3rd floor, many choose the elevator over stairs.
Climbing stairs can also reflect your health. If male friends can easily climb to the 3rd floor without getting out of breath or feeling overly tired after reaching the top, congratulations, your physical and cardiopulmonary functions are good.
If you can easily pass these three tests, congratulations, longevity will be waving at you.
