Review
In order to take this test, you have to make a RealAge account and enter your email address. If youwantto become a part of the Sharecare community, this isn’t a problem, but if your inbox can’t handle another unwanted email, it’s as simple as unsubscribing.
The test is split into four sections: health, feelings, diet, and fitness. It takes about 20 minutes to complete, which is longer than other longevity calculators, so be sure you allow yourself time to concentrate on the questions. Some are complicated. You don’t need to know every single detail about your health history to take this test, but knowing a few things will help you get more accurate results: yourcholesterol,blood pressure, and any vitamins you take, including the doses, to name a few.
After completing the test, your RealAge results appear on the next page. Results also include a list of personalized recommendations for each of the test’s four sections. These tips on health, feelings, diet, and fitness are meant to improve your lifestyle.
These recommendations include everything from watching your blood pressure to expanding your social circle, eating more fruits and vegetables, and doing more flexibility exercises. Not only do these tips explainwhatyou need to do; they also explainwhyyou need to do them. They also contain links to helpful resources that will help you make the changes, such as quick exercises and high-energy meals to start the day.
Overall, RealAge is a great test if you take your time and have the information to get the most accurate results possible. At 20 minutes total, itisa bit long, but the results are well worth your time, and considering the comprehensive, personalized recommendations might make a difference in your lifestyle.
