Anyone else watched the TV show, 'How to stay young' ? It's v interesting and this is a link to see what estimated physical age you are... If you are prone to worry about these things don't do it!! It made me realise my sinful past still has an impact on my longevity ... I came out as 39 and I am 45. However this is with loads of changes I have made to compensate for the crap stuff!!!
I am 42 and it thinks I am 40, a few weeks ago I went for a proper medical check up heart checks, a c20 max check etc which they went fully into my diet and history, because 1. I wanted to make sure i wasn't going to have a heart attack next week and 2. work asked me too.
Now that medical check said I was 34 (I was happy) and he was pretty sure i wont have a heart attack next week as well (bonus). I don't believe it asks the right questions the body is amazing at repairing itself after years of abuse such as mine had, smoking will always be a minus even if you have given up for 40 years, but the sooner you give up the sooner the lungs can start repairing itself. Yes I drink maybe a gin and tonic every two weeks and a glass of wine even less that then that, so yes i do drink but i would hardly call it life changing and not to the options they give. Sometimes i do eat process food but again its rare. As for the fasting choice I have read articles for pros & cons regarding this again its a matter of opinion.
so take this survey with a pinch of salt, if you want a real answer go see a doctor.
I might have a glass of bubbly. Today I have officially had 2 months off the sauce. I had a bad relationship with it and drank too much on a daily basis... So I'm feeling quite pleased with myself 👠
I feel sooo much better, and I'm up a lot earlier and running more too. I'm not sure where yet... But I will have some!!! It would be great to meet up and drink champagne!!!there are a lot of c25k folk going and we will be meeting up, are you on our FB group??
That's the plan....and then just have it on occasions etc. I am frightened to slip back to old habits. The group is: beyond c25k and I also have a marathon support group ( that's what it's called!!)
Just done it ju, and in real life I'm 40, the test says I'm 29, and in my head I'm 23. I wouldn't worry about it though, we can't undo the past. Life experiences makes us who we are. And anyway now we are making the best of things. Don't know about you, but I'm fitter at 40 than I've ever been. I'm now going to try this on my long suffering husband😆
