Did you know that the longer you stand with one leg closed and your eyes closed, the longer you live? A study reported by the Daily Mail in 2019 showed that if you stand on one leg with closed eyes for more than 10 seconds, it means that the body's various systems are in a relatively balanced state, if you can't stick to it, it means that the balance is relatively poor, and the reaction muscle strength is relatively weak, which will lead to accelerated aging.
In fact, adopting the independent standing mode of the closed-eye golden rooster is indeed very beneficial to fitness.
<h1>Golden Rooster independent fitness has an effect</h1>
Golden rooster independence first needs to relax the whole body, while slightly closing the eyes, the hands are naturally placed on both sides of the body, at this time arbitrarily raise one foot, you can see how long you can stand for how long. The key to the independence of the golden rooster is that the eyes cannot be opened, and all the strength and mind must be concentrated on the feet.
Nourish the mind and calm the mind: through exercise, you can let your impetuous mood be completely relaxed, the mentality is calm at the same time, with the gradual concentration of the mind, the body in a relaxed state, you can maintain the same posture for a long time. As the practice time increases, you can make your mind more and more peaceful, and you can stop the water without making noise.
Blood flowing down: The golden rooster is independent, all the strength is concentrated in the lower part, and the qi and blood will run to the soles of the feet, so that the meridians of the feet can be stimulated and regulated, and the organs corresponding to the meridians can also be adjusted accordingly.
Exercise balance: In daily life, relying on the brain, cerebellum and visual system to maintain balance, and the jinji independent exercise mode can exercise a sense of balance after closing one's eyes to a certain extent.
<h1>Why it's harder to close your eyes independently than to open your eyes</h1>
In reality, if there is no training, it is often difficult to stand on one leg after closing the eyes, and many people can't even hold on to 3 seconds.
Because in the case of normal standing, the human body relies on the support of the legs, the balance of the big and small brains, and the visual assistance to maintain balance. Standing on one leg and closing the eyes immediately eliminates the sense of support between the visual system and the legs, in which case the body can only barely make adjustments according to the balance receptors of the vestibular organs of the brain and the coordinated movement of the muscles throughout the body.
If there is no foundation, the body cannot react to the feeling of balance at all, so there will be a situation where it is difficult to maintain balance.
<h1>What factors affect balance? </h1>
In addition to the difficulty of maintaining balance without training, the factors of age and obesity can also affect the body's standing balance.
age
The older the person, the function of the body's vestibular organs decreases, and the sense of balance decreases rapidly. Researchers at the Eye and Ear Hospital in Massachusetts, USA, tested the sense of balance in people aged 18 to 80, and found that after the age of 40, the body's balance ability decreased significantly.
corpulent
The role of muscles is coordinated, and people who are obese need more muscle strength to maintain balance when the body loses its center of gravity. However, obese groups often have very poor muscle strength and poor agility, which can easily lead to a loss of balance and fall.
<h1>How long should the standard standing time be? </h1>
The closed-eye golden rooster is independent and has also been included in China's national physical fitness monitoring project. According to the set standards, the standards for keeping standing and not falling are different for different age groups and different groups of men and women.
The time for men to stand is: 30-39 years old, 9 seconds; 40-49 years old, 8 seconds; 50-59 years old, 7 seconds; 60-69 years old, 6 seconds
The time for women to stand is: 40-49 years old, 9 seconds; 50-59 years old, 8 seconds; 60-69 years old, 7 seconds; 70-79 years old, 6 seconds
According to this regulation, if your standing time is not up to standard at your age, on the one hand, your balance ability is poor, and on the other hand, your aging rate is greater than your actual age.
And from the standard can not be seen that women's standing requirements are stricter than men's, this is because women's overall balance ability is better than men's, so the standard time set is also stricter.
