If you want to stay young as long as possible and are determined to live until you go grey, you can, of course, resort to proper nutrition and exercise.

But there is another way, an incredibly simple one, that can strengthen your efforts.

This habit may seem strange at first, but it can actually make you live longer.

Proof of this is the results of an experiment conducted in 2014. Then scientists were able to establish that the most ordinary sitting on the floor helps to significantly prolong life.

It turns out that the ability to get up from the floor is a predictor of longevity in people aged 51 to 80.

The study also found that people who had difficulty getting up from the floor had a five to six times higher risk of premature death than those who could easily perform the task.

This simple exercise clearly demonstrates a person's overall physical health and functional capabilities.

Sitting on the floor every day has a number of benefits.

It improves balance and coordination, strengthens the spine and promotes correct posture.
