How Long Can You Balance on One Leg? It's Linked to Your Health. Start Today with These 4 Tiny Habits to Make Big Changes in Your Health.

Four micro-habits that can make a big difference in your future.   These tiny habits. according to a Japanese concept, are things we do that are easy today because they take little to no willpower to accomplish.  Lie on your back and hang your head and shoulders off the bed up for up two minutes. This helps open the chest and get blood flowing to the heart and brain.  Do this before bed or any time of the day.  It relieves some damage from hunching over desks all day.  Turn off  auto play on your streaming service and leave the control next to your tv.  Have you ever watched three episodes in a row when you planned to watch one, but you were just too lazy to stop when when the next episode auto-played?  By turning off the auto play feature and moving the remote makes you get up.  Practice balance.  It’s overlooked until its gone.
The time you can spend standing on one leg is an indicator of overall brain health at many doctors offices.  So stand on one leg while you brush your teeth.  You can split it up.  Try the left leg in the morning then the right in the evening.
Do extra squats when you go to the bathroom.  The chair test is also used by doctors to test functional fitness.  The ability to do this diminishes as we age and sitting and sitting for long periods makes it worse and weakens muscles.  So choose a time to do 10 squats a day. It will add up over time.
