A 70-year-old who takes good care of herself can have the biology of a 40-year-old. Conversely, a hard-living 30-year-old who has been inattentive to his health and well-being may have the biology of a man many years older.
Long-term meditators can have a biological age 5 to 12 years younger than their chronological age.
Age is not based on chronology, but psychology.
I just don't think of age and time in respect of years. I have too much experience of people in their seventies who are vigorous and useful and people who are thirty-five who are in lousy physical shape and can't think straight. I don't think age has that much to do with it.
Biological age is the key component of the aging process.
Because scientists know that all human beings do not age at the same rate, biological age is measured by how well one's physiological systems are functioning.
For Age is not alone of time, or we should never see men old and bent at forty and men young at seventy-three.
I think it's reasonable to suppose that one could oscillate between being biologically 20 and biologically 25 indefinitely.
How old are you? If your first reflex is to reply with your chronological age, the number on your birth certificate, you are only one-third correct. There are actually two additional, and more important, indicators of age. And the exciting news is that it is within your power to adjust both of these other "age indicators" and truly grow younger and live longer.
Chronological age is only an approximation of your functional age.
Biologically, I'm 10. Chronologically, I'm 33. In hockey years, I'm 66.
Age is not measured by years. Nature does not equally distribute energy. Some people are born old and tired while others are going strong at seventy.
I always think there's our age in ID terms but then there's our real age because for me the real age is not the age on your ID. That's just a date when you were born. The real age, the real ID is your body, your brain, your attitude.
A woman is always younger than a man at equal years.
There are always late bloomers [in sport], no matter size, although big men are more often late bloomers.
You can reverse your biological age by changing your perceptions.
Your biological age is a critical component in the entire aging process, and again, can be very different from your chronological age.
Every day in every way, I am increasing my mental and physical capacity. I am reversing my biological age.
In fact, scientists have shown that the better your DNA, your genetic machinery is at healing itself, the longer you live. That's how meditation lowers biological age.
Researchers have been looking for biomarkers of age for a long time and have failed. People sell tests out there to measure your biological age, and none of them work. There's no evidence that you can measure biological age with any reliability.
Well, I mean she's of a certain biological age but she didn't have to go around with fat patches and stuff.
It will be useful for you to know your biological age and maybe to change your lifestyle habits if you find you have short telomeres.
People who say you're just as old as you feel are all wrong, fortunately.
Checking your telomere length is a bit like weighing yourself: you get this single number which depends on a lot of factors. Telomere length gives a sense of your underlying health.
By making conscious choices in our behavior and where we focus our attention, we can transform our experience of our body, decrease our biological age, and tap into our inner reservoirs of unbounded energy, creativity, and love.
