Realage test

I am 21 this year and my Realage test indicates that I am actually 23.6 years old.

The report states that the reason I am older was because I wasn't healthy enough. Personally, I think that my current lifestyle is pretty unhealthy. I have irregular sleeping hours, I drink alot of coffee to perk myself up during the day and I am addicted to coffee. Without coffee I would experience headaches and lethargy as my withdrawal symptoms. However, when I drink coffee, I tend to eat much less afterwards. IT makes me lose my appetite. I personally don't really care about my blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar levels. I believe that even though they might be really high or low, I would not exclude salt, fats, sugar, protein or whatever I have to cut down in my diet. I believe in living life to its fullest and as long as I am not doing drugs or smoking I should be pretty healthy. I also tend not to eat unhealthy foods as much. I eat vegetables every single day and I dont know why my report says I don't eat enough vegetables. I love fruits too. I often eat frozen yoghurt from pinkberry or robeks or ce fiore. I LOVE THEM. I dont think theyre healthy though. They are super sweet and screams diabetes but I love them. The tartness and sweetness combination is extremely addictive for me. Stress levels could be high or low for me depending on the events that happen. I am in a long distance relationship so sometimes it is pretty frustrating. my stamina used to be very high. I used to be able to run for 1hr and 30 minutes non-stop on the treadmill at a speed of 8.5 miles per hour. this was when i was 18. I don't go to the gym anymore and havent been there for 1.5 years. I actually lost weight without exercising. must have been all muscle mass. I think the realage website is not very accurate because some of the questions are structured answers and the amount of food and the things that I do are not identical every single week. I tend to like eating a whole tub of haagen daz ice cream too occasionally [not everyday!] but theres no way the realage website would know that. I have eaten a whole cake while watching a movie at home. [not a whole slice, a whole cake!]  however, the next day I totally lost all of my appetite and barely ate anything. everytime i see food i run away, especially the sweet ones. I have fainted once because of my low blood pressure and I have done blood tests every single year. Last year my hepatitis antibody was off the charts. It was 5 times of my sister's. My brother's was 0 and he had to be vaccinated again. After taking the Realage test, I would most likely not change my lifestyle. I have a relative who lived till 120 years old and died of old age. I believe that as long as you're happy, you will live longer.
