GEEZER’S “REAL AGE”

I am 73. I track my “real age” on realage.com, which has now become sharecare.com. The factors considered are the same ones that my doctor looks at. Even if there are questions, I do not see how you can go wrong by not smoking, losing weight, and doing things in moderation. I am not interested in living longer; but am interested in living better. I want to minimize today’s   pains and problems.

Today at 73, I went onto sharecare.com  and  based on my answers to the questionnaire have a real age of 66.2 years.

While I feel good about this, what is more important is that on sharecare.com I can change my answers to determine if there is a benefit to making life style changes. My actual weight is 207, which resulted in a “real age” of  66.2 years. I changed the weight to 180 pounds, and came up with a “real age” of 65.7. The difference may be small but I will feel better. And, my doctor told me yesterday that I needed to lose a “few” pounds.

You can change the input and see what you need to do for a better “real age.”  Try it with eating habits, smoking, drinking, etc.

I may try to update this each month which may give me incentive to go from 207 to 180.
