Biological Age is the measure of your inner health, which is influenced by your genetics and your lifestyle choices. Biological age is an effective measure of your "true" age because it reflects how well you are taking care of your body by rating the risk of damage your body has undergone in its lifetime. For example, a well maintained car will run for a very long time. The same car, poorly maintained, will breakdown within a few years. Likewise, your body requires proper maintenance to support a long and healthy life.
Two Ways To Determine Your Biological Age
Biological age can be determined two ways: either by taking part in an intensive laboratory test, or by completing this easy-to-apply lifestyle questionnaire. The laboratory test is called a Biological Terrain Analysis (BTA). The BTA is a thorough procedure that analyzes key aspects of health and summarizes them into your biological age. The BTA requires a twelve-hour fast as well as samples of blood, urine and saliva. The BTA measures the body's oxidative load, pH (acid/alkaline) balance, and the mineral content of these fluids. Of these measurements, oxidative load has the most impact on biological age.
Are You Rusting?
Oxygen is essential for energy and life. Each atom of oxygen has six electrons in its outer shell and it requires eight to be balanced. Atomic oxygen will pull electrons from other atoms and molecules. This action of oxygen makes it essential for the efficient production of energy and operation of our immune systems. However, when oxygen is uncontrolled it will create free radicals and damage our bodies. Free radicals are chemically unstable molecules that cause tissue and organ damage. For example, (uncontrolled) oxygen combined with iron will form iron oxide, commonly known as rust. While the body does not literally "rust", uncontrolled oxygen and free radicals damage the body through a similar chemical reaction. This damage is the first step in the development of virtually every chronic health problem and degenerative disease.
A proper pH (acid/alkaline) balance within the body is essential for good health. All bodily functions, from thinking to digestion, are controlled by enzymes. Enzymes in turn are controlled by body temperature and pH. Body temperature is usually constant but the ideal pH of various organs may be limited by a poor diet and a toxic load. A pH imbalance will decrease digestion, energy production, cellular repair and immunity.
Proper control of oxygen and maintaining a proper pH (acid/alkaline) balance are required for keeping your biological age low.
Questionnaire:
The Biological Age Questionnaire has been modeled after the Biological Terrain Analysis. The questionnaire provides an inner profile by measuring the extent of internal damage your body has accumulated.
To achieve an accurate measure of your Biological Age, it is important to answer all the twetny six (26) questions as accurately and honestly as possible in this easy to follow Biological Age Questionnaire.
Questionnaire Privacy:
Every visitor who completes this Questionnaire is kept Anonymous. Flora will not collect anyone's name, address, e-mail address, machine name, or any other form of personally identifiable information that completes this Questionnaire.
The Anonymous information, which is captured, includes pages viewed, date and time and browser type. Internet Protocol (IP) numbers are temporarily used to determine domain type and in some cases, geographic region. We do not make any association between this information and a visitor's identity.
At Flora, we respect the privacy of our customers and visitors and therefore have adopted a set of information management guidelines that are the foundation of our customer relationships.
Please Note: The numerical values (including the negative values) are assigned next to the choice of answers determines the "Total Score" for each of the above sections.
Again, the more accurate you answer, the more accurate the result.
