Your Biological Age

After watching a show on Discovery Home and Health call How To Live Longer, I took a test at Grow Youthful site to find out my biological age. Here's my result :) Not too good, but not too bad either. There is always room for improvement! If you would like to take the test, go to the reference site below.

Definition of Biological Age

Your chronological age is 32
Your biological age is 31


Congratulations! The way that you are currently living your life should slow the rate at which your body is ageing. You should already look, feel and act younger than your chronological age

You seem to be in good physical and mental health, feeling good about both yourself and your body. You should be able to live a fulfulling and independent life

General Health. Excellent

Immune System. Excellent

Toxic Load. Good result with scope for improvement

Body Fat / Weight. Changes in your weight and body fat have been well maintained

Exercise. Scope for improvement. Your current exercise regime is contributing to aging faster than is necessary

Stress / Expectations. A different outlook on life will slow your rate of aging and improve your health

Food & Digestion. Scope for improvement in this crucial area. Without effective digestion the benefits of an excellent diet are wasted. Other positive factors which you may have in your life, such as good exercise, lifestyle and outlook, will also be less effective

Male / Female. Plenty of scope for improvement, no matter what your circumstances

BMI: 24. You are on the heavy side of normal. This gives you a reasonable prognosis for longevity and good health, especially if a high proportion of your body weight is muscle rather than fat. However, to optimise your chances of a long life and total health, you could lose a little more body fat

The most important things you can do are to:

* get the best possible information available on aging
* gently adopt more healthy living habits and attitudes that really feel good for you (the test is that you'll be feeling happy and really enjoying your life)
* so they are easy and feel quite natural to continue with for the rest of your life
* ensure you are familiar with the most important life extension basics


Rate of Aging
Your outlook on life and your lifestyle indicates that your rate of ageing should be slightly slower than is expected of most people in your age group

Your answers indicate that many of your habits and attitudes are likely to promote your health and longevity, though there are several aspects that could be improved

You are still at risk of a variety of degenerative diseases such as obesity, depression, diabetes, asthma, arthritis, wild mood and energy swings, skin inflammations and cancers

If you maintain your current lifestyle and attitudes you will probably continue to age only a little slower than most people
