Suddenly all of those systems sort of reveal themselves and how they're working together.
So a twenty twenty two study that was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Researchers followed more than seventeen hundred adults between the age of fifty one and seventy five and asked them to perform what seems like a remarkably simple task.
Stand on one leg.
For ten seconds.
Participants who were unable to do this had an approximately eighty four percent higher risk of death during the follow up period than those who successfully completed the test.
One test stand on one leg for ten seconds.
And they f the findings in this study were that those who could not achieve that
without holding, without touching, without losing their balance, had an approximately 84% higher risk of death during the follow-up period.
That association.
So as with the floor rise research I shared before, the finding is not that standing like a flamingo extends your life expectancy.
The value is in what the tests may reveal, even though it is sort of, you know, it's it I I love sort of watching people who are very proficient at yoga who can stand and that's not a flamingo pose.
I I can't remember the official name, but stand on one leg with their leg um with their other foot sort of adjacent and attached to above their knee and stand at that wonderful pose and just stand, it seems like indefinitely.
But for us, the single leg stance draws on strength.
coordination, proprioception that I mentioned before is sort of the nervous system communication back to the brain.
Our reaction time, think about that.
And all these multiple systems communicating effectively.
They're not all like working on high demand.
They're working where they need to.
And balance is one of the first places we can see it.
