Stai un minut pe un picior în fiecare zi. Exercițiul simplu care poate întări oasele cât 53 de minute de mers • Newsweek România

A simple one-minute daily exercise of standing on one leg can strengthen bones significantly, comparable to 53 minutes of walking, according to Japanese orthopedic surgeon Junichi Nakayama. This exercise activates muscles that maintain balance and exerts pressure on bones, enhancing bone density. While beneficial for bone health, it does not replace other forms of exercise for calorie burning or cardiovascular health. The exercise is suitable for older adults, who can perform it safely with support to prevent falls. Nakayama emphasizes its ease and safety compared to squats, which may strain the knees and lower back.
