Reduce my RealAge

improved 5 years in 1 month. insane! but i swear it is visible in the mirror!
i forgot what i did in the mean time since i log to realAge often to read my reccomendations.
i do pilates twice a week and some other things, as omega3 (instead of fish), vegies. but pilates made majority of change, i suppose, since there is some stretching and some light strength exercise.

oh yeah. and i ticked off bad back (i forgot i ever had it).

i improved by 2 years in 2 months but i dont know how, since i couldn’t update the test i did it again so i don’t know where’s difference. i suppose it is that i have increased my fruit and veegie and soy intake, and i meditate daily. and i have more friends.

i plan to focus on 4 easy steps (4 F)

multiVitamin
omega3 and soya instead of Fish
Flexibility
Floss

i purchased the book and it is great.
also the site improved further
we are blessed to have such a great, life-altering tools as 43T and realAge for free!!

couple of months ago it was +4, it means in 2 years i grew older 8 years. and my mirror tells me the same.

i don’t have my test from before to compare what went wrong except family member ilness, but it doesn’t matter now…

I just turned 39 and I came out with a Real Age of 34. That had me feeling pretty cocky until I clicked the button “What’s making you older”. Mostly not getting decent enough nutrition. Stuff that’s totally within my control.

So I think I’ll try to reduce my “Real Age” by another 2 years.

Re-did the test today reflecting my current lifestyle!

• Begin taking vitamins daily. I’m definitely going to take a multivitamin, but I might also take vitamin C and E, calcium, and folic acid supplements.
• Increase my vegetable intake. I really don’t eat enough vegetables-far from it-and I think this will help a lot.
• Floss every day. I need to do this way more than I do.
• Continue to not smoke. Woo! It’s been about 4 and 1/2 months. I feel so much better now.
• Do not talk on the phone while driving. I am so guilty of this, and it has gotten worse since I got this new job. I need to remember that, if it is that important to take a phone call at that second, then I need to pull over.

Calendar age: 29.6
RealAge: 30.0
Difference: +0.4

Making me older:
No Dog ownership
Potassium levels
Low vegetable intake
Low unsaturated fat
High resting heart rate
Lack of flexibility exercises
Workout schedule
Flossing habits
Low grain intake
Low omega-3 intake
Low fruit servings
Oral hygiene concerns
High red meat intake
Vitamin E intake
Have cholesterol level measured
Social network and stress
Strength training level

I’m starting with oral health, which should/could be within easy reach…

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW
In three months i went from + 1.8 to now being +.2
I am so proud of myself and it really wasnt that hard. I decreased intake of red meat (almost none), flossed regularly, made an effort to exercise more, increased vitamin intake. And of course it is another 3 months since i stopped smoking and my body is healing. So today I am 28.2 years old chronologically and my real age is 28.4. I can live with that (although wouldnt it be amazing to have a younger body? maybe i should try that)

I’m 36 and my RealAge was 40.6 when I took the test! I’ve probably significantly reduced it already.

• Good sleep levels I make an effort to go to bed by 11.
• Vehicle sizeIt’s still a monster.
• Limited or no secondhand smoke exposurenever a problem
• Parents relationshipstill together
• Alcoholnada
• Daily breakfastyupppers!
• Diverse diet *could use some work
• No ovarian cancer in family
• Flexibility routine hmmm, could work on this too
• No drinking and drivingcertainly not
• Cell phone useuse minimally
• Breast cancer historynada
• Nonsmokerno thanks
• Minimal caffieneI have been a coffee hound but eased up recently. I only have one coffee max.
• Low vegetable intake
• Low fruit servings
• Low unsaturated fat
• Workout schedule now working out 20 mins a day
• Potassium levelsprobably taken care of with multivitamin and daily food
• Low grain intake I think I get alot of grains and they are always fibrous.
• Low omega-3 intakedone, take Omega-3 pills daily
• Folic acid intakedone, take 800 mg
• Daily vitamindone, three times a day
• Flossing habits I will, I will, I will be more conscientious about flossing.
• High BMI...sigh… always the challenge
• Driving speeds who says I speed, the nerve!
• Oral hygiene concerns
• Safety belt or airbag usage I’m a seatbelt wearer now
• High red meat intake what!
• Calcium intakedone

• Social network and stress taking B-12, breathing, exercising and meditating, plus pondering going to a church down the hill
• Strength training level another sigh…
• massagesI get weekly massages now, maybe this helps with flexibility.
• drink 8 glasses water daily in progress, slip sometimes

I’ll take the test again and see how old I am. In summary, I should be a flosser, seat belt wearer, vitamin taker, destresser, water drinker, and good sleeper. I have to resume healthy eating habits too. mybestlife worked for about three days. I can try again. Can only do a few things at a time.

I just took the test again and I’m already 35.6. yahoo!

Well, I have no caffeine in my life and no bread either (but thats just a lent thing I reckon) I have hardly any red meat any more and am flossing every night! I plan to buy some vitamin E but then again I get it from the avocados and spinach I eat. anyways, slowly but surely getting where I hope to be. YOUGNGER
