A new study from Brazil has revealed an easy test of just how much time you have left to live. If you can't stand on one foot for more than 10 seconds, you're dead meat within the next 10 years.
As we age we lose our equilibrium and our ability to balance while standing on one foot. After age 50 this ability tapers off sharply through our remaining years. But it's also an early indicator of poor health and risk of death at any age.
So scientists have found that people who can't balance on one foot are doomed.
Are you doomed?
Here's how you find out. This is the exact test by which you can determine how soon you are going to kick the bucket:
1. Stand up straight on both feet.
2. Keep your arms by your sides and eyes fixed straight ahead
3. Lift one of your feet by bending the knee so that you bring your free foot to a position behind your standing leg.
10 seconds will guarantee you another 10 years of life. For every 10 seconds beyond the first 10 seconds you can add a month of life. Drop the other foot at any time during the test, and you die instantly! Ha-HAA!
See how long you can stay alive. And have fun!
