I just took the RealAge test. I guess I'm 31.5 years old, compared to my actual 23.6 years. For those who have never heard of the RealAge Plan, it was developed by a Dr. Roizen. I heard about this test from the book You: The Owner's Manual by Dr. Michael F. Roizen and Dr. Mehmet C. Oz. I am loving this book. It's so interesting! Pick it up, if you have a chance. I actually heeard about the book because Dr. Oz was on Oprah, he talked about some great things (including poop...that's right, poop)! So, back to my 31.5:
What should I do about it?
Make sure I am getting enough vitamin E, folic acid and potassium.
Add flexibility training to my workout routine.
Keep on top of my blood pressure and cholesterol.
Try to relieve stress and be safer day-to-day (e.g. not driving while impaired).
What am I doing well?
Taking vitamins
Diversifying my diet
Eating breakfast every day
Maintaining a healthy intake of calcium, fruit and vitamin C.
Healthy resting heart weight.
Strength training and cardiovascular exercise.
For anyone reading this, let me know your results! I'm interested. There is also a nutrition assesment, which brought my age down to 28.6 because I eat so well.
