Many elderly people have questions: What are the physical indicators that can predict whether they can live longer?

Famous health education expert and Chief physician of Beijing Anzhen Hospital Professor Hong Zhaoguang posted on his personal WeChat official account on September 7 that by observing the elderly who have longevity, we found that there are two important indicators, which can reflect a person's health level.

These two functions are good, making it easier to live longer!

Item: Muscle strength

If this person exercises frequently, likes to run and jump, and his muscles in his body are relatively developed, that's great. Generally speaking, people with strong muscles are more likely to live longer.

There are so many muscles in the whole body, which muscle is more representative?

has a special study showing that the size of grip strength is an important indicator for testing a person's health status.

If a person exercises frequently and has strong muscles, his grip strength must be better. If his grip strength is very strong, the muscles on his upper body will definitely be well developed. If you have developed muscles, just metabolic function is good.

Strong grip strength is a very important indicator.

People with strong grip strength will have stronger physiological, psychological, and lung capacity, and their lifespan will usually be longer.

2: Heart recovery ability after exercise

Test method is very simple, go running.

For example, a person's heartbeats more than 60 times, and after running 400 meters, his heartbeats can reach more than 100 times. At this time, how long does it take to observe how long it takes for his heart to recover to his usual 60 times. Some people recovered after 3 or 4 minutes, while others passed by more than 10 minutes, and their heartbeat was still fast.

The shorter the time to recover to normal heartbeat after exercise, the better the heart function.

If the heart functions strongly, the blood vessels are good, and the muscles are good, you can recover quickly after exercise.

Return from the rapid heartbeat after exercise to normal heartbeat time, which is an important manifestation of the heart's compensation ability.

So, the grip strength, as well as the speed of heartbeat recovery after exercise, can represent a person's overall health. It also represents the overall function of blood supply to the bones, muscles and heart throughout the body. Congratulations to people with these two powerful functions:

! You already have the physical foundation for longevity.
