What is your Real Age?

[chri'stina 190]

I saw something about this on Oprah. I don't know if it was a re-run because I don't watch that show very much. But Dr. Oz was on and they talked about your "real age" and a website you could go to. So I did it to see if my age would be older than my birth date. He told the audience that most of them were not aging well. They did more in depth testing including making them do exercises.

Surprisingly, I was a couple years younger than my birth age(24.5 or something). They take a lot of things into account: health, exercise, happiness, smoking, lifestyle, etc. Well besides sometimes carrying a 17lb or so baby around I don't get a lot of exercise and I am not in my target weight range at all so I was surprised I did well. The test is a few pages long online. I just thought it was interesting. They also provide plans for getting yourself into a better physical age. It shows strikes against you and things you are doing right.

You don't need to post your real age unless you want to...I just wanted to post this so people knew about it.

BTW, when I took it, it was a couple hours later that I was emailed the results.

Funny enough I did this test yesterday - was very pleased to find that my "real age" is 29 - that's 8 years younger!

Apparently, I need to get more sleep and build a stronger social network however (would be easy to do if all friends and family would move to my neighborhood).

I am 24 and my real age came out at 26. Apparently I need to excercise, get more vitamins and folic acid, and eat more veg.

All my answers were filled in already, so I guess I've done this before!

I'm 27.8 even though I'm really 28.1.

I did it. Damn. I think I will go to the gym tonight, much on a few sticks of celery while I'm there and come home and check my blood pressure.

Three times, of course.

Mine was 25.3 not 24.5

Basically I need to exercise more, eat more vegetables and fruit, have a bigger social network(my fam moved:(). Some other stuff too.

Ok, my real age is 53.1 and my apparent age is 50.3 - must be doing something right. It says I need more Omega 3 in my diet but it doesn't ask if I take a supplement instead of eating more fish - which I do. It also says I need to do more strength training - I guess moving furniture to vacuum doesn't count?

I'm 35 and it says my real age is 30.3. Not bad.
