Let me hear from you!
“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents,
the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love.”

Will you live to be old?
When this little quiz was mentioned in USA Today, I think it helped a lot of us rethink how well we’re going to age. Me? I get a score of 94 … 99 with lifestyle changes. Just how much do I enjoy that second glass of wine?
Guestimates keep us on track
A few years back, Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Mike Roisen introduced The RealAge Test, an online quiz that calculates lifestyle age versus chronological age. When I took the quiz in 2011, I was shocked to learn my RealAge was higher than my actual age.
I had made lifestyle changes since then, so I plugged in my new information. I remeasured my waist and am unhappy to report it is two inches larger than I remembered. But that’s okay. I’ve got something to work on.
My updated RealAge is 3.2 years younger than my 62.25 actual years. Hear me patting myself on the back? Hey, I did the work, and it’s paying off. That little quiz helped me get on track six years ago.
