Take this position and guarantee another six years of life

A "health test" that was featured on The Today Show has gone viral on TikTok for its allegations. That's because an NBC News doctor, Dr. Natalie Azar suggested that the test is an "indirect marker of your health" and can even predict how long you'll live. Check out!

“Sit and stand test”

According to a 2012 study, the test predicts mortality for people aged 51 to 80. "The study found that the lower the score, the seven times more likely you were to die in the next six years," said Dr. Bad luck. You begin the test by standing up straight, before sitting down cross-legged and trying to get up again.

Azar emphasized that "as we get older, we spend time talking about cardiovascular health and aerobic fitness, but balance, flexibility and agility are also very important."

Many users have given the test a try on their own and failed. A video was soon filled with thousands of comments from other hysterical TikTokers with a joke: "I can't even gracefully descend, so does that reduce me to three years?"

Another joked that he did it and said: "I did it, but I think it took me six of my life to do it".

The truth is that there is no way to predict death. However, there are some attitudes you can have to live much longer.

• Adopt a healthy and balanced diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins;
• Avoid excessive consumption of processed foods, sugars, saturated vitamins and salt;
• Practice physical activity regularly, at least 30 minutes a day, five times a week;
• Maintain a healthy weight and avoid being overweight and obese, which can increase the risk of many chronic diseases.
• Do not smoke and avoid excessive alcohol consumption;
• Control stress and anxiety through techniques of meditation, yoga, training exercises or other practices that help to relax;
• Get enough sleep to rest, feel and alert during the day.
