[monk3y]

I didn't know all my info but I got a 78... I'm curious to find out all my info and take it again.

My grandparents and my drinking were my downfall apparently.

I got 84.......it said my ideal weight should be 170.....I'm 6 ft tall and weight just about 200 right now.....when I was swimming 7 days a week on a team I couldnt touch lower than 177.....stupid things dont figure in muscle mass *at all* I dont swim now but I walk/run and most of that 200 is more muscle than anything So it's a little skewed....

 

[Saint Nick]

just live your life and don't care about how long you are going to live...

Yeah I had no idea so I just left my BP and Cholestrol level as it was by default.

On the second part with Family History. I can already tell it's bullsh1t. Yes all my grandfathers died young, because they smoked and drank a ton.

Normal BP....is less than 120/80, 121-140 over 81-100 is considered 'prehypertensive' anything above 140/100 is hypertensive

That's a useless test.
What if grandparents are below 80 and still alive, or if they didn't die of natural causes?
That test sucks.

 

[JRock]

60

The three biggest negative factors that you have going for you are:
1. Gender
2. Family health
3. Personality type

why family health??? three of my grandparents all are still alive, one turns 90 next summer, one 86 and the other 80 my grandma died 5 years ago because she smoked...

no one in my family has had cancer that wasnt caused by smoking (lip cancer in one uncle).

damn they suck

they say ill live to 77.

such bull

I believe 110/70 is ideal. That's what mine is.

Based on your answers to the above questions, your current life expectancy is 86 years. If you're not happy with the result, consider that by adopting a healthier lifestyle and avoiding various risk factors, you can increase your life expectancy by up to 15 years.

Your "ideal" weight for maximum longevity is: 170 lbs. (I am 195 right now, not obese but if I lost 10 lbs. I would be extremely fit.)

The three biggest positive factors that you have going for you are:
1. Age of parents
2. Age of grandparents
3. Diet

The two biggest negative factors that you have going for you are:
1. Family health (My mom's side 4 have had cancer none died though)
2. Gender

They've done a lot of studies on rats and for rats, it seems true that low fat diets are best for longevity. And there's a lot of evidence that the same is true for humans, as long as you don't cut out all of your fat.

 

[dawnbug]

Oh, and I'm supposed to live to be 102. We'll see if that happens. It also said I'm supposed to lose 15 lbs.

 

[Anonemous]

89 but at the rate I'm going, I'd say 30.

Your body needs omega 3 and omega 6 fats for optimal health. Brain, hormones, heart, cholesterol levels, cell membranes, skin, eyes, etc.

I eat tons of olive oil, fish oil, and nuts, and I have excellent body weight, cholesterol (both LDL and HDL), and blood pressure.



A diet deficient in fat and high in unhealthy carbs will increase cholesterol, body fat, etc.

 

[bradruth]

75.

 

[yosuke188]

79. That's a good age to die.

There is a huge difference between no fat, low fat, and a regular person's diet. You seem to imply low fat = no fat. You need ~30% of your calories from fat. That is low compared to most diets now.

I think that they assume that if people are eating a high fat diet that it's mostly saturated fat. It's too much of an assumption on their part, but a low fat diet is better than one full of saturated fats.
