Take a few minutes to take these simple tests to assess your health. The test was developed by Russian and foreign physiologists, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net Spine.

A healthy spine, without exaggeration, is the basis of our health.. Check it now and in case of any irregularities, consult an orthopedist for advice.

So, we undress to the waist and look at ourselves in the mirror. One shoulder higher than the other? Now turn sideways and carefully look at the upper back. It forms a \? Shoulders are sloping, and the chin protrudes forward? If yes, then you have clear signs of posture disorder.

Now bend forward and try to touch the floor with your palms, and let your assistant run a finger along the spine and look at it carefully - all the vertebrae should be lined up. Bending to the right or left is a clear sign of scoliosis. This disease is by no means harmless, as it may seem to someone, since it can lead to a violation of the correct arrangement of internal organs..

We sit on the floor, spread our straight legs apart, and put a ruler between the feet - zero division at the level of the heels. Slowly bend down, arms extended forward, do not bend your knees. Let's see where we've reached. More than 15 cm is an excellent result, if from 5 to 15 cm is also not bad, but it is worth paying extra attention to developing flexibility and strengthening the back muscles. Well, if the result is less than 5 cm, then this indicates very poor mobility of the vertebral joints and low elasticity of the ligaments and muscles.

A healthy spine, and especially its cervical region, affects the quality of the blood supply to our brain and, accordingly, its work..

Heart.

First, let's determine the heart rate. To do this, sit down and sit quietly for 5 minutes in silence.. Then take your hand and place four fingers of your other hand on the outside of your wrist.. Feel for a pulse. Time one minute on your watch and count the number of heartbeats.

Norm - 60-80 beats per minute.

Less than 60 beats is a sign of bradycardia. But athletes may be the norm. If you last played sports in childhood, it is better to consult a cardiologist.

Above 80 beats - a sign of tachycardia. This frequency can also be a reaction to stress and overwork.. In this case, it is recommended to check how your heart is carrying the load, but be careful if your heart rate is much higher than 80 beats, it is better to consult a doctor: do 60 jumps in 30 seconds and take your pulse immediately. The less it differs from the resting heart rate, the better.. An increase in frequency by 3/4 of the value at rest indicates violations of the adaptive capabilities of your cardiosystem and the risk of malfunctioning of the heart. It is recommended to conduct a survey.

Thyroid.

Usually, deviations in the functioning of the thyroid gland are accompanied by trembling of the fingers, but a person almost never pays attention to this.. To detect trembling, you need to close your eyes, stretch your arms forward, spread your fingers apart and ask someone to put a sheet of thin paper on them. If the leaf begins to tremble distinctly along with the fingers, you should visit an endocrinologist.

Respiratory system.

The breath test is considered as objective as a body temperature reading and is a much better indication of your health potential than a blood pressure reading.. But unlike measuring pressure or temperature, it is simpler and does not require the use of any equipment..

Stange test - determines the maximum duration of breath holding after inspiration.

The Gench test determines the maximum duration of breath holding after exhalation.

Take a stopwatch. Sitting, take 3-4 deep breaths and exhale. Then inhale deeply, then exhale and hold your breath.. In a healthy person, the delay time is on average 25-30 seconds. Athletes can hold their breath for 60-90 seconds.

Rest 2-3 minutes. Take a few normal breaths and exhales, then inhale (about 80% of the maximum) and hold your breath. Time with a stopwatch. The average for a healthy adult is 40 seconds. In trained people, this figure may be higher..

In case of chronic diseases of the lungs or heart, overwork, the delay time on inhalation and exhalation can decrease sharply. If this happens, repeat the test after rest.. If your result has not improved, then you should consult a doctor and do a more thorough examination..

Light a match and hold the match in front of you. Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth while trying to blow out the flame.. How many attempts did it take you? If several, then it is possible that your respiratory system is weakened. Possible causes: smoking, lack of exercise, any chronic respiratory disease.

Language.

Your tongue can tell you a lot about your health. The changes that occur with it help doctors to establish not only the presence of stomatitis and caries, but also to identify a number of internal organs at an early stage of the disease.. Home diagnostics are best done in the morning.. Normally, your tongue is pink, shiny, evenly colored over the entire surface, let's say a thin white coating.

If the entire tongue is covered with a whitish coating, then this most often indicates a cold or gastritis.. If the plaque is yellowish-brown - poor liver and gallbladder function. If the tongue is red, as if polished, like the corners of the mouth, it is a sign of a deficiency of B vitamins..
