Awhile ago I found this website called www.realage.com. You can go to the website and take a test that will tell you the real age of your body based on what you eat, how and when you exercise, your sleep patterns, and other health-related questions. It's really quite interesting. I took the test before I got pregnant and I believe it said I am really 15! Yay! I could never get my husband to take it though. Probably because he knew that, based on his health habits, he would be about a decade older than he really is!
Your body really is affected by the things that you eat and the way that you treat it. Toxins and bad foods can cause the telomeres in our bodies to shorten and fray (according to Dr. Oz, author of You: Staying Young). This, in turn, ages our bodies and damages our cells. When cells become inflamed and/or damaged they cannot fight off all the things that try to come in and attack them. When they can't protect themselves, awful diseases like cancer are allowed to take over our cells and eventually, our bodies.
Go to www.realage.com and see where you stand. Be honest. You will know the truth anyway! If you don't like your real age (and the rate at which your body is actually breaking down), vow to make changes. And who knows, you could score much better than you expect!
You may realize that you do very well in some areas but not so well in others. If I remember correctly I did excellent in the diet and fitness areas at the time, but not so well in the areas of relationships and stress. Everyone has something to work on. This gives you the opportunity to see where you need to commit a little more effort. Take it as constructive criticism!
Have fun with this! Feel free to let me know how old you are on the Real Age test!
