    How old are you? Odds are your answer is a number of years - a metric known as your "chronological age." Although this number isn’t meaningless, it fails to capture the full picture of aging. Your "biological age" may be a far more useful metric. This is the degree to which your biology has changed over a given period of time.
    “Aging is starting at a molecular level, and over time this is going to give rise to all the functional changes and manifestations that we tend to see with aging,” says Dr. Morgan Levine, author of the book True Age. Unlike chronological age, your biological age is malleable: Scientists know that it’s possible to slow biological aging by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
    But is it possible to actually reverse the aging process? See what Dr. Levine has to say about the potential of anti-aging research in this Big Think interview.

    TLDW: Biological age (how old your body is based on its current condition) is malleable whilst chronological age (number of years you have lived) is not. You can reduce your biological age by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, managing stress, avoiding smoking and alcohol and getting regular medical checkups

    My elderly mom had a follow up appointment with her physician yesterday. According to the Levine Biological Age Calculator based on her latest bloodwork test results, she has now aged minus 18 years during the last 4 years. She eats a Slow Carb, Slow Fat diet style - whole plant food carbs and whole plant food fats both with fiber, helping the body fully assimilate the nutrients without overwhelming its metabolic systems and pathways.
    Here is her menu for a typical day:
    Breakfast: Organic steel cut oats with some buckwheat and wild blueberries, raspberries, 1/2 banana, tablespoon of ground flax and ground chia seeds, tablespoon of hemp seeds, organic soy milk, Ceylon cinnamon.
    Lunch: Green smoothie heavy on the low-oxalate greens (frozen kale or collard greens, frozen pineapple, banana, orange, lemon wedge with rind, organic soy milk, avocado sliver, amla powder, dulse flakes, apple cider vinegar, blackstrap molasses, nutritional yeast, small scoop of hemp protein powder, fresh ginger, medjool date, fresh kale) with a small handful of almonds and walnuts - or - some soup and salad.
    Before dinner snack: one apple.
    Dinner: Variety of simple meals including spaghetti, chili, vegetable soup with beans, lintel miso soup with organic tofu cubes/onions/mushrooms/kale, split pea soup with onions/mushrooms/carrots/celery/potato, roasted vegetables (squash/carrots/potatoes), rice and beans bowl with onions/mushrooms/kale/peppers/salsa, organic tofu scramble with onions/mushrooms/peppers/kale/turmeric/nutritional yeast, broccoli, asparagus, green beans, etc.
    Dessert: frozen banana whip with papaya or strawberries topped some days with a couple of macadamia nuts or a Brazil nut - or - some red grapes.
    Make sure to include G-Bombs every day for optimal immune system (i.e. - greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, seeds).
    Avoid most processed foods. Include tofu perhaps twice a week but not more. Stop eating after an early dinner except for a few pistachios before bedtime.

    I've noticed that people nowadays are starting to show aging symptoms after the age of 45. I didn't have particularly "good" skin care or anti aging practices before my 50s, mainly due to other priorities as... life was happening!! And I used to look very young. Even now people say I look young for my age. One thing I started to notice is the more I started to worry about aging , the more I aged. I firmly believe that media and society's irrational´s pressures of looking young and looking of certain way, places a heavy toll on our subconscious. When we get full of fear we start to manifest that we were fearful of such ageing, illnesses, etc.

When the cells are healthy in whatever structure and they are not altered, influenced or broken and are developing in their natural form, I believe that’s when we are, our healthiest & capable of living longer lives on this physical plane.

    Most people are surprised to learn that I’m 45, not in my 20s or early 30s. I’ve worn sunscreen everyday since high school (after trying to tan, which was a disaster since I have very little melanin to begin with), I’ve continued to get movement daily through walking, biking, or strength training, and I’ve kept my weight within a healthy range. I definitely feel my age some days more than others, but I hope to continue defying my age for a long time.

    My Levin PhenoAge consistently comes in about 17 years lower (am in late 60s). Last 10 + years have exercised moderately almost every day and eat a plant based diet. Very little junk food and animal foods - do eat a little wild sardines. Also practice time restricted eating. Follow the work of scientist (although some have become too commercial and biased imo) in the aging field and steer clear of lower tier purveyors of anti aging/ health "information" especially those with stuff to sell. My focus is on delaying disease and maintaining my mind. On days where exercise, diet and sleep all come together, i simply feel so much better.

Ageless Rx Phenotypic Age Calculator (requires you to input your email, but gives nice PDF report and said it is based on Morgan Levine's paper) 2. Thrivous free PhenoAge calculator (doesn't require email). The first one said I am about -10 my chronological age while the second one said I am about -14 my chronological age putting me at 13 years old (I wonder how accurate it is). Yes I do try to have a healthy diet (tries to avoid deep fried/processed food, eats vegetables and some fruits), exercise lightly once/twice a week (but am quite skinny and unfit), maintain a good sleep cycle, and manage my stress levels. Absolutely avoids smoking/second hand smoke and almost no alcohol. From the comments I read it seems like everyone is reporting lower phenotypic age than chronological age. I wonder if anyone had higher phenotypic age than chronological age.

    I have always looked 10+ years younger than I am. This may just be looks, rather than health. I remember being carded at a bar when I was 40. We all age anyway, whether it is quickly or slowly. At 74, I am on beta blockers and prostate meds, and I have recurrent colitis. My lumbar spine looks like a train wreck and I've had surgery for sciatica, so age does take its toll eventually. I rarely drink alcohol, so coffee is my only vice. I hope that walking 30 minutes a day and cutting out junk food can give me many more years. Aging slowly seems to run in the family, since my father and his siblings all lived to be 90. 15 more years of life sounds good to me.

    @Cameo G . In response to your reply... Yes, we are aging right now. As mentioned in the video, we have been aging since before we were born. And this is a fact we all have to accept. This is a reality!!!. We cannot look like children or look like we were in our twenties ALL our lives. But the more fear we instigate in people about aging and the more ageism we create in our societies and the more fear we create on people to show their greys and wrinkles. We have seen many examples of people investing a lot of money on treatments not to look older and many of them have gone horribly wrong. The only winners are the organisations who have promoted those types of fear in our societies. in reality the happier people I have seen are the people who accept themselves as they trully are independently of their wrincles or whatever society says they should not have.

    Also, the credo "Black don't crack" is a real thing. I wish this video discussed how Black, Asian and other darker skin types have special melanin resources (pheomelanin) and both melanin and collagen in abundance in comparison to Europeans and other lighter skinned peoples. When I see white people of my age I am shocked to see crepe-y skin, crows feet and lines on their face. I saw this 23 year old white girl (Scottish and Italian) with severe crows feet, and couldn't believe my eyes. I often run to mirror to look at myself when I see this because it makes me feel like this must be happening to me too but it isn't.

It takes planning, organisation and also a resistance to the need to "fit in". It is the way of the world. We live in a world that pushes the unhealthy, so majority will do what is unhealthy, not because they want to be, but because we live as social groups.

    It's lifestyle and it's also mindset and state of mind. The latter contributes as well.

We can choose the way we think and feel. It begins with the mind and it'll translate to our physical body.

    Age is a state of mind - (though probably a good dose of genetics helps). you really _are_ as old, or young, as you feel (and act & behave (or not! ) - how you think, move, feel
    I used to have lunch every week with a lovely older gentleman, (he moved away, be closer to family, lost contact over the years). he'd talk about the 'sad, OLD man' down the street from him. this "old" man was in his 60s - this delightful gentleman was in his 80s - so 20 years OLDER - but fit, and active, walked his precious dogs, gardened, enjoyed spending time with people, mourned his beloved wife, determined to make the most of life.
    similar thing with one of my neighbours, he's frail (belligerent, but frail) - had a couple of falls, now needs a walker or scooter - I thought he was in his 90s, nope, only in his 60s.
    I started going 'grey' when I was 12 - no, correct that - people - complete total strangers would tap me on the shoulder (usually seated behind me on the bus) and TELL ME - this started when I was 12 - (don't know actually when this process changed) - countless people, seriously, they would all say these exact same words each & every time "excuuuse me - do you know you've got grey hair" - (now, me, it's silver, sweetie, silver) -🧝🧝‍♀🧝‍♂
    at high school, about 15 or 16, my english teacher devoted an entire year to the concept, the importance, of being childLIKE (not child_ish_ - very different) - child-like - finding joy, wonderful and beauty in simple every day things, living in the moment & appreciating the simple pleasures in life - being grateful & appreciative, playing and having fun, laughter, seeking happiness and joy
    when I was in my 20s people thought I was in my 30s, but when I WAS in my 30s, people thought I was in my 20s - 🤷🤷‍♀🤷‍♂
    now... I'm older, wiser, all that matters to me - so age, meh - do not care - does not define who I am, how I think - how I behave (or not, celebrating being 'naughty' last week, giggling with a woman who is chronologically much older than me, but in her eyes, see that mischievous twinkle & can't help but share the fun 'where are we at' 'no idea' _laughing_ at ourselves) in our community choir - singing & laughing & playing 🥳💖🧚🏊🤸‍♀🧘‍♀🤹‍♀🧞‍♀🤽‍♀🥂🛌💗👣🐾🌟🌀🔥🧩🪅🪄♥
