FOLLOW PROPER BREAST CANCER SCREENING PRACTICES BECAUSE OF YOUR FAMILY HISTORY OF BREAST CANCER. TAKE THE BREAST CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT.
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.
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.
YOUR PARENTS' LONG RELATIONSHIP MAY HAVE MADE YOU YOUNGER. Your parents have helped make your RealAge younger. In general, you have a healthier lifestyle if your parents remain together until you were at least 18 calendar years old.
MAINTAIN YOUR CURRENT BLOOD PRESSURE. Your blood pressure is at or below 120/80. Great Job! If you are taking blood pressure-lowering medicine, keep routinely taking your medication.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
MAINTAIN YOUR CURRENT LOW LEVEL OF RED MEAT INTAKE. Less is more! You have gained maximum Age Reduction benefit because you eat less than 1 serving of red meat (beef, pork, veal, lamb) per week. Red meat is loaded with unwanted saturated fat and cholesterol.
We assume that you consume a low amount of saturated fat because your consumption of red meat is so low. However, to have a more detailed analysis of your dietary saturated fat intake, take the Nutrition Assessment.
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!
CONTINUE USING A MID- TO LARGE-SIZE MOTOR VEHICLE. Your RealAge is younger because you are generally in a mid- to large-size motor vehicle. Because of their size, a mid- to large-size motor vehicle provides more protection in a serious accident than does a small motor vehicle.
CONTINUE TO NOT USE YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING. Your RealAge is younger because you never or hardly ever talk on the phone while you are driving. If you talk on the phone while you are driving, you increase your chance of having an automobile accident, sometimes a fatal accident. If you need to talk to someone from your automobile, pull off to the side of the road. Although a voice-activated speakerphone frees both of your hands to drive, it does not lower your risk.
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.
