Test for longevity???


  • From Mercola.com

  • How well you can sit and rise from the floor, without using assistance form your hands, knees or other body parts, may predict your risk of dying prematurely in the next six years.
  • Those who scored the lowest, requiring the most assistance to sit and rise from the floor, were 6.5 times more likely to die during the study period than those who scored the highest.
  • The “sitting-rising test” measures your fitness at the most basic level, testing not only muscular strength but also flexibility, balance and motor coordination. All of these attributes are essential for day-to-day living, and for maintaining your independence as you age.
  • You can extend not only the quantity of your years, but also the quality, by making a few simple changes to your lifestyle, involving diet, exercise, stress reduction and more.

WELLLLLL........IF  I  EVER  DISAGREED  WITH  MERCOLA  IT  IS  ON  THIS  ONE!!!

THIS  IDEA  IS  ABOUT  AS  STUPID  AS  IT  GETS.  MY  DAD  COULD  NOT  DO  THIS  FROM  ABOUT  AGE  40  OR  LESS.......MY  DAD  IS  NOW  92  AND  STILL ALIVE!!

THERE  IS  A  LOT  MORE  TO  DO  WITH  STAYING  YOUNG  THAN  BEING  ABLE  TO  DO  THIS  CIRCUS  STAND.

I'D  BET  THAT  SOME  WHO  CAN  DO  THIS  SIT-STAND  SAY  AT  AGE  40  COULD  NOT  DO  THE  MANY  OTHER THINGS  I  CAN  DO  AT  MY  AGE  OF  71  IN  SEPTEMBER.

IT'S  REALLY  LAUGHABLE  TO  TRY  AND  SAY  YOU  CAN  PROVE  LONGEVITY  BY  SUCH  A  SIT-STAND.

LET'S  SUPPOSE  YOU  ARE  30  YEAR  OLD  AND  CANNOT  DO  IT......  DOES  THAT  MEAN  YOU  HAVE  A  HIGHER  RISK  OF  DYING  IN THE  6  YEARS  TO  FOLLOW,  THAN  SOMEONE  AT  30  WHO  CAN  DO  IT?  CRAZY THINKING.

IT'S  LIKE  ME  WHO  WAS  VERY  FAST  IN  RUNNING  THE  100  YARD  DASH  IN  HIGH-SCHOOL  AND  AT  AGE  30,  SAYING  IF  YOU  COULD  NOT  DO  IT  BUT  2/3rd  OF  MY  TIME  YOU  WOULD  BE  AT  RISK  MORE  THAN  ME,  IN  THE  NEXT  6  YEARS  TO  DIE.  CRAZY  REASONING! 

THERE'S  A  LOT  MORE  TO  LIVING  LONG  THAN  BEING  ABLE  TO  DO  THIS  STUNT  ABOVE.
