what's yOur real age?
I remember posting a newspaper article on Dr. Roizen's concept of Real Age on the notice board at our old yoga studio. When I took the Real Age test then, I turned out to be 25. . .
If I remember the story correctly, Dr Roizen was at a point tired of seeing the same patients again and again coming to see him over the same health problems which could have been prevented by simply being more health conscious and developing healthy living habits. He thus developed the concept of Real Age to work out the biological age of your body, based on how well you maintain it. His Real Age test shows the aging or anti-aging impact of factors like what kind of exercise you do and how frequently you do it. Dr Roizen's test (essentially an online questionaire which you can take for free = the cool thing is that not just works out your real age but also generates a list of healthy living recommendations to further lower your Real Age.) includes all kinds of factors from diet to exercise to less intuitive factors like how many hours you spend a year in a car (opening yourself to the effects of pollution, stress, risk of accidents. . . )
Here's the link to find out how "old" you really are and how "young" you can become: http://realage.com/
YThanks to Wasana & Cheng Hock for reminding me about this. May your spines be young and nimble for years to come.
