Reduce my RealAge

got older less than 2 months last 8 months LOL :-)
this made my day! how this happened? i changed my hart rate to “i don’t know” (so maybe it is false improvement) and from 1 to 2 of us in our household; and MS for education; and actualy lowered numbers spend excercising.

1. measure my HR
2. floss
3. fish oil
4. increase frends&family time
5. more fruits, veggies, nuts
6. more excercise
   everything that i like!!! :-)

Actual Age = 23
RealAge = 32 :(

Definitely have to work on this!

I just found RealAge today, after seeing this being done on here, I searched for it on google and took the test.

The results were pretty much what I was expecting. I am (or in a few days will be) 20.9 and my RealAge is at 27.9

The main problems are my diet and exercise. Lots of little red x’s there. I looked over everything and tried reading it all, but there was a lot to take in.

I started my walking tracker, but am going to wait until tomorrow to start going for walks.

The one thing I did do today to start being healthier is to get my dad to bring me to the store to buy stuff for a stir fry and cauliflower salad, that the diet menu thing suggested. It sounds really good. (I’m going to have chicken in the stir-fry instead of tofu though. I figure, baby steps, and at least its not take out stuff)

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
