To know the heart is still good job or not, researchers have tips are easy enough to touch the toes. If your body is still flexible to reach your toes, your heart is still quite healthy.
In the journal Heart and Circulatory Physiology mentioned that by testing one element of the body (toe), a person can know his heart is healthy or not, even in the midst of the holidays though.
It's easy, simply by sitting on the floor with your legs straightened up and your toes pointing upward. After that try to reach out and touch toes with his hands. If you are flexible enough to touch your toes means your heart is healthy and flexible as well.
In their study, researchers from the University of North Texas and several Japanese researchers recruited 526 participants between the ages of 20 to 83 years. Participants then take a test to measure the flexibility of the body while blood pressure, the arteries and heart activity.
The result, researchers found a correlation between the body that are not flexible with arteries that are not flexible, particularly in participants over the age of 40 years.
Those who failed the test the flexibility of the body and failed to reach the tip of your toes turned out to have stiff blood vessels, and means the heart's ability to be less good, efficient and the risk of heart disease increases.
Japanese researcher Dr Yamamoto said that, although the theory of the relationship back and leg muscles with a muscle near the heart still vague, but with this study is helpful.
Rigidity of back muscles, legs and heart vessels which are interconnected because kolagennya the same composition.
"If you can touch your toes while sitting straight, your heart is still good enough. But if not, maybe you need to go to a cardiologist," said Dr Yamamoto, a Japanese researcher, as quoted from the New York Times.
But do not ever mention Yamamoto stiff muscles is a sign of heart disease, only the heart may not be fit and healthy as they should be.
