Your Real Age
Health experts now agree that rather than enjoying two birthdays rather like our Queen, we in fact have two distinct ages – our ‘birth age’ and our ‘biological age’ this biological age being determined by how we treat ourselves.
Calculator
So in a bid to find out a reasonable approximation of mine (as I no longer particularly enjoy celebrating my actual one..) I have done some online research and have found a few interactive calculators.
Frankly I have been pleasantly surprised by the results – having managed to knock between 6 and 4 years off.
Honest Response
I do however have slight reservations about my ability to give clear answers to some of the questions. On reflection it is quite likely that I have erred on the more positive response. OK, some of my responses may in fact have erred on the downright dishonest, but all the same it is quite thought provoking.
Have a Go
I have collected some of the links together for you to have a go! Do remember that this is one of those ‘fun but with a serious message’ type activities and all of these sites carry the fairly standard ‘disclaimer’.
