I took this test on Oprah.com. I'm always saying I feel 26(not really)! Although I am not a fan of Oprah, I am a huge fan of Dr. Oz. I copied this from Oprah.com:
Dr. Oz's 10 Ways to Live Healthier:
Step 1: Find a doctor and schedule a checkup.
Step 2: Know the five ingredients to avoid
- High fructose corn syrup
- Sugar
- Anything "Enriched"
- Trans fat
- Saturated fats
- Antioxidants
- Omega-3 fats
- Fiber
- Olive oil
Step 5: Know your numbers
- Waist size (taken at belly button, men should be less than 40", women 37")
- Blood pressure
- Cholesterol
- Resting heart rate
- Blood sugar
- Vitamin D level
- C-reactive protein (checks for inflammation usually caused by infection)
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Step 7: Organize your medical records (this means asking your doctor for a copy of your medical records)
Step 8: Get the medical tests you need (tests appropriate for your age, such as a mammogram.)
Step 9: Start exercising
- Walk at least 10,000 steps a day.
- Get your heart rate up at least 60 minutes per week.
- Work on flexibility and
- Strength training
Sleep tips for those insomniacs out there:
- Sleep in cool, dark room.
- No t.v or laptops.
- Add white noise.
- Dress appropriately (less clothes, the better).
- Set standard wake-up time, includes weekends.
- Get the best mattress.

I'd be afraid of how old this test would tell me I am. Need to start taking better care of myself!
I love Dr. OZ!!!
If they considered looks, you would be even younger, huh?
I did that once and it told me I was 2 years older than I actually am. I guess all that running I do and not smoking or drinking has really affected my health!!
I actually really like Dr. Oz too. I have few of his books.
Man, I saw that on The Biggest Loser...I think I'd be 101 !
Scary!
I just took that test. It says I'm 49 (-7.1). It looks like the biggest contributors to being younger for me are good genes and taking drugs. I just need to lose weight and exercise more and I'll turn into Benjamin Button.
Yeah, I would be younger if I didn't talk on the cell phone while driving.
Can I be your Health care advocate?
If I had an advocate would they get up with my babies for me so I could get at least 7 straight hours of sleep?
