A simple exercise that takes less than a minute can help you determine your risk of dying in the next 10 years.
Standing on one leg can tell a lot about your health.
People even at 79 years old should be able to maintain this position for almost 20 seconds, writes Express .
However, difficulty performing this simple exercise may be a sign of hidden health problems.
