Benefits
(years)
YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE IN NOT STARTING SMOKING.
Congratulations! Your RealAge is younger because you do not smoke. 6.6
CONTINUE USING YOUR SAFETY BELT AND AIRBAGS.
Your RealAge is younger because you are protected by seat belts and an airbag when you drive. Continue to drive safely. 3.7
THE LACK OF OVARIAN CANCER IN YOUR FAMILY HISTORY IS BENEFICIAL TO YOU.
Your RealAge is younger because none of your first degree relatives (that is, your biological mother, or sisters) had ovarian cancer. Make lifestyle changes such as stop smoking and weight reduction if you are overweight to reduce your risk of developing ovarian cancer.
To learn more about how often and when to schedule your next cancer screening test, see; The RealAge Disease Prevention Checklist. 2.6
THANK YOU FOR NOT DRINKING AND DRIVING.
Thank you for being a responsible driver. Your RealAge is younger because you do not drink and drive or ride in a motor vehicle with a driver under the influence of alcohol. 2.4
CONTINUE YOUR CURRENT LEVEL OF DAILY ALCOHOL USE.
Your RealAge is younger because you consume a half serving of alcohol per day. Studies have shown that moderate alcohol consumption slows the aging process for most women.
Some important advice:
Moderate alcohol consumption can increase your risk of getting oral, esophageal, or stomach cancers.
Remember, never drink and drive, and don't drink if you are under the legal drinking age.
2.4
THE FACT THAT YOUR FIRST DEGREE RELATIVES DON'T HAVE A HISTORY OF BREAST CANCER IS BENEFICIAL TO YOU.
Your RealAge is slightly younger because none of your first degree relatives (that is, your biological mother, or sisters) had breast cancer.
You should continue to follow breast cancer screening practices that are appropriate for your age and level of risk. For more information see the RealAge Breast Cancer Screening Assessment.
To see more detailed information on this topic, see; The RealAge Breast Cancer Screening Health Assessment.
2.2
CONTINUE YOUR LEVEL OF DAILY SLEEP.
You sleep about the optimal amount of time per day. If you are not well rested, try go to sleep half an hour earlier and stick to the same regular sleep schedule every day, including weekends. 2.2
CONTINUE TO AVOID SECOND-HAND SMOKE EXPOSURE.
Second-hand smoke kills 20,000 people per year. Because you are rarely, if at all, exposed to passive smoke, your RealAge is younger. Second-hand smoke causes accelerated aging due to cancer, heart disease and lung disease. 1.8
CONTINUE TAKING VITAMINS DAILY.
Getting the right amount of vitamin and mineral supplements helps you avoid the aging effects of conditions such as osteoporosis and arterial aging. They also help reduce the risk of heart attack and cancer.
To get a more accurate picture of your total daily vitamin intake, and therefore, a more accurate calculation of your RealAge, take the Nutrition Assessment.
1
MAINTAIN YOUR CURRENT HEART RATE.
Your heart rate is 60.0 beats per minute. It may reflect a good fitness level. Keep up the good work! Your RealAge is the youngest it can be for this Age Reduction factor. A heart rate of 75 bpm or less usually indicates a young cardiovascular system. 1
KEEP UP THE CURRENT DIVERSITY IN YOUR DIET.
Your regular diet is made up of at least three of the five food groups (that is, grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, protein). Great Job! Keep up your diverse, healthy diet. It helps make your RealAge younger.
For more detailed input and analysis of your total daily vitamin intake, take the Nutrition Assessment.
0.9
MAINTAIN YOUR CURRENT DAILY FOLIC ACID INTAKE.
You consume 600 plus mcg per day of folic acid (folate) from food and/or supplements. Great Job! Your RealAge is younger. Folic acid is a vitamin that helps you reduce the level of homocysteine in your blood. Homocysteine is an amino acid that is thought to cause premature aging from heart disease and blood clots. Some major dietary sources for folic acid include: beans and lentils, chickpeas (that is, garbanzo beans), orange juice, ready-to-eat breakfast foods, and green leafy vegetables such as spinach, asparagus and broccoli. 0.4
CONTINUE EATING BREAKFAST EVERY DAY.
Your daily breakfast starts you off with the fuel supply that you need to tackle the challenges of the day. Good Job! 0.4
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'RE EATING THE REALAGE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF FISH.
Besides being a good source of protein and vitamins, fish contains omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce triglyceride (a fat) levels in the blood and slow aging of the arteries. Be sure to eat at least 2 servings of non-fried fish per week for optimal health benefits.
For a more detailed analysis of your total daily vitamin intake, take the Nutrition Assessment.
0.2
CONTINUE TO NOT USE MEDICATIONS.
Your RealAge is younger because you do not routinely take any medicines. 0.1
MAINTAIN YOUR CURRENT DAILY VITAMIN C INTAKE.
Your vitamin C intake of at least 600 mg per day gives you maximum Age Reduction benefit. Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant. It can slow immune system and coronary artery aging and prevent cancer. Some major dietary sources include: citrus fruit and juices, superfortified cereals, breakfast bars, green peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, cauliflower, and cabbage. 0.1
EXCELLENT! YOU ARE A FRUIT PHENOM! YOU ARE EATING THE OPTIMAL AMOUNT OF FRUIT DAILY.
You are maximizing the health benefits associated with fruit consumption. By eating 2-4 pieces of whole fruit a day, you have lowered your RealAge. Way to go! N/A
KEEP UP YOUR FLEXIBILITY EXERCISES.
Your efforts to improve and maintain your flexibility may help your balance, protect your body from injury, and are an important complement to strength-building activities.
Warming up your muscles and including each major muscle group is important to maximize the benefits of your new routine. Try walking at a relaxed pace for five to ten minutes before and after flexibility work. Do not bounce or overstretch, but move gently and slowly into each position, and remember to breathe deeply throughout your workout.
