Exercises help prevent the risk of stroke

1. Stroke risk test

In 2014, Japanese scientists published research results showing that if a person cannot stand on one foot for at least 20 seconds, it is a sign of a "silent" stroke .

The study took place with 841 women and 546 men of average age of 67 being asked to stand on one leg and open their eyes for a maximum of 1 minute.

Later, they were given an MRI scan to assess the level of small cerebrovascular disease, which could hinder the flow of blood in the brain.
As a result, one-third of people with more than two infarction lesions ("silent" stroke) cannot stand balance on one foot for more than 20 seconds.

Standing on one leg is a simple measure of whether you are at risk for a stroke.

Dr Yasuharu Tabara (Kyoto University, Japan) said: "If a person cannot stand balanced on one leg, it could be an abnormal sign of the brain and memory impairment." .

The conclusion from this study is that standing on one foot is a simple way to check the imbalance of the posture, which may be the result of abnormalities in the brain.

2. Practice standing on one leg to avoid stroke and improve health

In the book "The Nursing of the Living Economy" by the Medicine Thai Hong Quang (Chairman of the Hong Kong Institute of Health and Health Research), there is a standing exercise with 1 foot as an extremely useful exercise to improve health. .

According to Medicine Master Thai Hong Quang, there are 6 meridians in the leg. When standing on one leg, the sensitivity and reaction speed of the meridian will determine your body's ability to balance, while congested meridians will ache.

So, this is also one of the ways to nourish bad and weak meridians. 6 meridians in the vacuum have many important acupuncture points but also in turn linked to vital organs such as stomach, lungs, bladder, kidney, bile, liver.

Therefore, standing on one foot is both a simple health check, and a convenient exercise of economic life. This exercise will motivate the meridians to regulate the balance for the corresponding organs and corresponding organs.

In addition, it is effective for people with high blood pressure, diabetes, back pain, neck pain, dysentery, parkinson .

How to do the exercises is as follows: Close your eyes, stand one leg, spread your arms out. Ask a person to check how long you can stand in this position.

According to Dr Thai Hong Quang, if you are 45 years old and can stand 1 leg for 15 seconds, this is a good signal.

However, when applying this exercise, be aware of safety, especially for older people who have just started practicing.
