Very Simple but Effective Chinese Exercise to keep Fit, young, prevent Dementia !! "Jin Ji Du Li"


People  around 40 years ago should start this exercise. It is simple and not time consuming. The benefits given below are amazing. The essence of the exercise is that your "Eyes Must be Closed" when you are doing this exercise. You must practise the "Jin Ji Du Li" exercise with the eyes closed. ["Jin Ji Du Li", translated as “golden rooster stands on one leg,” is popularly known as the crane stance, used heavily in karate. It is formed by raising one knee to its maximum height. The facing can be either to the front or the side, relative to the opponent. As with karate, Jin Ji Du Li is used as a platform for frontal kicks, as well as side kicks. It is also frequently employed defensively to deflect low to middle height kicks. Lastly, it is used in Northern styles for Tiao Bu (“jump step”) and Dan Tiao (“single-jump”), two techniques of movement for advance or retreat. it is also known as the crane stance in shaolin wushu kung fu]. 
This exercise was so simple and amazing: 
Stand on one leg while your eyes are closed.That is all. Just try it right now, stop reading and stand up, close your eyes and try standing on one foot.  If you are not able to stand for less than 10 seconds, it means that your body has degenerated to 60 to 70 years old level in other words, you may be only 40 years old, but your body has aged a lot faster. 


While you could stand easily on one foot with eyes open, trying the same thing with eyes closed ia another story! You just may not keep my balance for more than two to three seconds before you startwobbling and hopping around.

You do not need to lift your leg high, if your internal organs are out of synch, even lifting your leg this bit will make you wobble.  Now this was quite scary because it tells you that your body is lmost 60 years old and here are you, barely into forties! These Chinese are really very advanced in their knowledge of the human body. It was very heartening to know that frequent and regular practice can help you recover your sense of balance. In fact Chinese specialists suggest daily practice of "Jin Ji Du Li" for 1 minute, this helps prevent dementia.
