Our friends over at Utah’s best health technology blog have produced a Real Age calculator. The difference between your calendar age and your so-called Real Age is based largely on your health and lifestyle decisions.
Maybe you were born in 1980, but if you drink, smoke and skip breakfast, you’ll likely live a lot less than the average of 74. That would mean that your Real Age is greater than your biological age.
I think Freegans are the youngest in Real Age Years!
Biological Age: 25
Real Age: 5
Average Life Expectancy: 74
Your Life Expectancy: 93
Wow! I have 68 years to go!
Creepy. I’m not even a teen parent; I’m even younger than my kids.
you’re a pre-teen parent? sounds like you’ve eaten one too many mcdonalds hormone-filled chicken sandwiches.
Indeed! (but wouldn’t fast food make my real age go up…?)
true enough! My attempt at being clever (the allusion to pre-teen parenting) was a reference to the strange fact that doctors have noticed children hitting puberty earlier and earlier these last several years (some girls as young as 5 or 6 according to http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/618790/posts )

the anti-fast-food groups have claimed that the get-big-fast hormones injected into chickens are to blame for this problem
