How Fast Are You Ageing?

A survey revealed that 60% (from 5,000 respondents of the study) are ageing prematurely. Several factors may link to early ageing which includes lifestyle diseases, stress, improper diet and lack of physical activity. Their body age, which measures biological age depending on overall health and fitness, is older than their real age.

In 2017, I took a BMI Analyzer test and the result was amazing. My metabolic age revealed that I was ten years younger than my actual age. 

At the event hosted by Anlene Milk a few days ago, they asked us to check our BMI with the Tanita’s Body Composition Analyzer.  I'm happy that the result remains the same, 11 years younger. I was flattered and grateful. Although the "physique rating" reveals "under exercised" which says I need to do more lifting to gain muscle mass. Can you guess my age?

Our metabolic rate could be higher or lower than our actual age. Mine is lower which can be explained with faster metabolic rate. It could be due to genetics or hereditary but I believe my lifestyle plays an important role.

Even if I spent most of my time in front of my computer, I make sure to move around every two hours. We do not have household help so I do the work from cleaning, swiping the floor, laundry, going to the market, cooking and all other things. On Sundays, we walk 15 minutes from church to home. I also do muscle stretching and yoga at least once a week. Increase physical activity improves bone and muscle mass.

Staying focus on living a healthy lifestyle is the key. Don't mind about numbers, start with eliminating all vices like cigarette smoking, alcohol, and too much on social media. That's true spending more time on your phone can be harmful to your overall health. Incorporate a balance-diet in your meal is also important. As we age, calcium depletes


Factors that causes premature ageing:

• Lifestyle
• Smoking
• Alcohol
• Lack of sleep
• Wrong choice of drinks, like sweet and artificial beverages.
• High fat, salt and sugar food

My diet comprises of vegetables, meat but more fish, and fruits. We love eating green salad. I also drink a glass of milk before bedtime. One glass of milk contains 600mg of calcium which an adult need every day. Anlene milk is specially made for adults, it contains vitamins and minerals including calcium for strong bones and immune system. It has high protein for muscle development and collagen unlike other milk brands. Twice the calcium of regular milk and 100% of an adult’s daily calcium needs
