What does Healthy Mean for YOU?
To be healthy is a very broad suggestion… There are many components to our real and perceived health; and they each vary greatly from person to person. One may think being healthy is strictly a physical thing. For others it encompasses everything from emotional stability to Triglyceride levels. There are many ways to look at our overall health and there are even more ways that we can make gradual improvements daily to increase our physical, mental, social, sexual health and wellbeing. Just eating right and exercising is not enough, we must learn to look at our whole picture and recognize exactly where we can improve. Even the so called “healthy” person has areas for improvement. Why not make the best life for our bodies, minds and spirits?
1) This week’s Mission is about looking at a picture of our total health. Use the link below to determine your “Real Age”. I know it sounds a bit silly, but this test is very in-depth, uses scientifically tested questions and has been approved by medical professionals. The test combines many questions from many categories, including: physical health and medical history, social health, mental health, exercise habits, nutrition, etc. The “score” that you receive at the end, is a Real Age (as opposed to your calendar age). This is the age your body should be based upon how you answered the questions. I took this test 7 years ago and scored better today than I did at that time of my life . There are subtle things you can do on a daily basis to improve your “score” and work on your path to a Healthier Lifestyle.

In order to take this test, you will have to create an account (if you have not used this site previously). Once you issue your email and create a password, you can select “NO” to be removed from their email list (if you don’t want to receive anything additional in your inbox). If you do want to get info from them, it is all free and they will allow you to select categories of interest. NOTE: This test will take about 20-30 min to complete. It will stay on your browser screen if you need to step away.
2) The Second Part of this mission is to a write down an area for improvement. Then you need to challenge yourself to begin to making changes in your daily life that will improve your healthy living “score”. Print out the PDF attached to your Mission 5 email. Write down your Real Age “Score” and then also write your selected area(s) for improvement. Keep it visible so that you will remind yourself to stay on course.
Have a great week! Keep Active and Healthy!
