RealAge: Find Out the Difference In Your Calendar Age and Your Biological Age

RealAge is a comprehensive health website of which I have been a member for quite a few years. The premise of RealAge is to show you how good health habits and bad health habits affect your biological age. Have you ever noticed that people don’t often look their age? This is because your calendar age doesn’t tell what has gone on inside your body. Your biological age can be higher or lower than your calendar age; this biological age is termed your RealAge, because it takes into account your complete health, rather than just the date on which you were born. The RealAge team has gone over more than 25,000 research studies and found 125 factors that they use to measure your health. Did you know eating a balanced diet could make you up to eight years younger? Even if you wouldn’t join a “diet” website, check out RealAge, because this site has revolutionized how people look at their health.

How is RealAge different from other health-oriented websites? RealAge will give you a test full of questions about your health:

What is your blood pressure?

What is your cholesterol?

What prescription and over-the-counter medications are you taking?

How many servings of (enter food type here) do you get each week?

What vitamins and supplements do you take?

What medical conditions do you have and what are you doing for them?

What factors in your life give you the most stress?

What is the medical history of your close family members (i.e. breast cancer, heart problems,…)?

What amount of aerobic, flexibility, and strength exercises do you do each week?

And many other questions…

RealAge will take your answers to the quiz (which lasts around fifteen minutes) and show you what parts of your lifestyle make you younger and what parts make you older. A variety of suggestions will be provided to help you improve your biological age. Enumerable articles are available on a wide range of health topics:
