Lets start from my table, where I put almost all my things on it, for example: My biscuits (I meant the overnight biscuits), my books, my phone, my lappy, my drinks, my glasses, my hair wax, and other things that u won't want to know. I gathered all the books together and set them aside, brought my biscuits, glasses and drinks downstairs. Well, it was quite boring to listen to my process of cleaning, because it took me the whole afternoon to clean my room!
I think I should share with you guys about my recently collected information:
WILL YOU BE A KLUTZ IN OLD AGE?
The bra test: If you can reach around and unhook yourself with one hand, you have good flexibility. If you can't, don't fret. A survey by LA fitness says a quarter of women can't. It could be due to a shoulder problem like frozen shoulder.
HOW WELL IS YOUR BRAIN WORKING?
The counting test: Count backwards from 100 to zero in sevens - 100, 93, 86, 79, etc. The longer it takes, the older your brain. Getting to 65 is a good score and having a good memory means you're at lower risk of developing Alzheimer's. The memory test: Put 10 objects on a tray and look at them for 10 seconds. Close your eyes, if you can remember six or seven items shows your memory's in good shape. The reflex test: Spread your writing hand fingers 1.5cm apart on a table. Ask someone to hold the ruler above it, then drop it between your finger and thumb. Wait till the very last second before catching it. The closer you catch the ruler to the bottom, the better your reaction time, and the health of your brain and eye function. Catching below 5cm shows you're sharp.
COULD YOU HAVE DIABETES?
The toilet test: If you pop to the bathroom more than every two hours, this could a sign of diabetes. This could also be the case if you wake up for the toilet more than once or twice a night.
IS YOUR CHOLESTEROL OTT AND YOUR HEART AT RISK?
The sight test: Look at one of your eyes in a mirror. A white line around the edge of the iris shows you may have high cholesterol and a higher risk of heart problems. the longer the line, the higher your cholesterol. The nail test: A blue tint on your fingernails and toenails could be indicative of a heart defect. The teeth test: Bleeding gums during brushing doesn't just suggest gingivitis; it could also be due to a heart problem. The bacteria that causes gum infections can also cause inflammation of the blood vessels, thus affecting your heart. The measuring test: Measure your waist and hips. Work out your waist-to-hip ratio by dividing your waist measurement by your hip measurement. A score of more than 0.8 for a woman (0.95 for a man) puts you at greater risk of obesity-related disorders like heart disease.
WILL YOU HAVE A LONG LIFE?
The rhythm test: As a rule of thumb, the lower your resting pulse rate, the longer you'll live. When you're relaxed, place your index and middle finger lightly on the pulse at your wrist or at the right side of your neck. Count the bits for one minute. A rate of 70 beats and below is usually healthy. If you count more than 100 beats, see your doctor.
HOWS YOUR LIVER?
The hand test: Hold out your palm and look closely at the skin. If it is very red and blotchy, you may have a type of liver disease. The ankle test: Press your thumb to your ankle, just below the ankle bone. If you can make an indentation in the skin with your finger, you may have fluid retention, which could be due to liver and kidney disease or heart failure.
CAN YOU STAND STRONG LATER IN LIFE?
The balance test: Stand with your left leg with your right leg bent45 degrees and your right foot resting on your left calf. Rest your hands on your hips and close your eyes. if you can balance for 20 to 30 seconds, great! Even till a count of 15 is sufficient - poor balance could be due to weak joints and muscles.
COULD YOU BE STRICKEN WITH ARTHRITIS?
The flex test: Can you touch the floor with your entire palms without bending your legs? If you can, you maybe too flexible. Hypermobility, as it's called , can increase the risk of osteoarthritis due to wear and tear of your joints and tendons.
YOU MAY NOT SMOKE, BUT DO YOU HAVE HEALTHY LUNGS?
The breast test: The more breaths you take per minute, the less efficient your lungs are. At rest, a healthy adult takes between 12 and 20 breaths per minute.
