And the idea even becomes more um compelling when more research stacks on it, right?
So a recent Mayo Clinic study looked at age related changes in gait, strength, and balance.
And found that the one-leg balance again appeared to decline more rapidly with age than either grip or gait measures.
Gate is how you.
walk and move across space.
And we're gonna get to those in a in a couple of minutes.
But balance declined more rapidly.
So balance may be one of the earliest indicators that something is changing.
And that's why it's
very important to pay attention to and why I want to spend some time on it.
This mortality finding is certainly what attracts attention when people go, Wow, that's shocking.
But it isn't really what I find most interesting, it really is that it's a sort of predictive marker in decline.
And it is also important to you know, how quickly this challenge can reveal something about the body's ability.
Maybe that's what I find very intriguing.
And our body's ability to adapt and respond to environment.
Ten seconds can feel surprisingly long when you're standing on one leg.
And you're probably about to try it right now.
You're hitting pause and let me try it, or you're thinking about it.
Um, if you find yourself when you're trying it, waving an arm, reaching for a countertop, uh, negotiating with your gravity halfway through, um, that's just fine.
And when when we go through how to do it, in fact, I'm gonna encourage you to absolutely be right next to that countertop, the back of a chair against a wall.
