Age Test For the heck of it

My trips around the sun age is 72 as of March 2023

My Metabolic or biological Age is 53.
My Brain Age is 40

I think I'm on the right track, I experience none of the age related problems plaguing most people my Chronological age.

10 -12 years ago I had trouble remembering simple things, Gone now Memory has fully returned, some times it seems like to much. I can't for get things I want to forget!

Almost no joint pain, Right hip hurts occasionally but I fell off building 42 ft had knee surgery 2 times. So some issues are to be expected. I do not have any Knee pain as I use to be able to tell when it would storm.

I'm stuck in a loop

Trying to gain about 5 lbs. Need to increase my calories, The more active I get more calories I burn.

My BMR is 2250 Calories

Need to add 500 calories a Day to gain 5 lbs in couple months,

So after trying to increase my Calories to 2600-2700, I lost 2 lbs. My energy and activity level has increased so burning more calories. So I have to increase my calorie intake buy more than I burn. Hard to monitor and keep track.

A 10 mile bike ride I'm burning off any extra calories.
The more activity I do the more I need. As my energy level increases I burn off any extra.

Since I do not eat just empty starchy carbs, and sugar packing on extra calories is difficult. Nutrient and Calorie dense foods, fill you up much more & longer and I don't As Hungry.

"I have been doing this my whole life without even knowing it. I am almost always barefoot, but for the past two years, I've been wearing barefoot shoes which do not help with grounding or earthing, but they are great for my feet and feel awesome.

When I'm working in the yard or garden and I'm barefoot or walking on wet grass after or during the rain, I can literally feel the Earth's energy. My stress levels drop, any pain goes away, and my whole body feels energised. It supercharges my whole body, and my well-being is greatly improved.

When I have a day at the beach and can lay in wet sand, I feel totally de-stressed and energised! I can feel the energy of the Earth coursing through my whole body, and I will feel energised for days.

I spent many of my formative years at the beach, never realising the awesome benefits or paying much attention to the feelings. I just knew it was a great way to feel, soaking up the sun and grounding.

Now that I'm a little older and somewhat wiser, I pay more attention to how things affect me and the way I feel after making changes like in my diet, exercise, and daily routine, even supplements.

That's probably why I like camping, hiking, and walking in the woods and nature as I'm usually barefoot.

I started new routines with added supplements in January 2023. I somewhat documented the results, doing daily updates, but now I only add updates if things change or if the same effect is present. I will be adding a separate entry on the supplement changes.

I will also note that I do not take any prescription or OTC drugs. Zero, zip, nada, none ever! I have not had a headache in years, like 8-10 years. I used to wake up and take aspirin with my morning coffee. My aches and pains never seemed to stop or end.

As of now, I have very little pain, no headaches, no joint pain, not even after knee surgery twice on the same knee. Little muscle pain after working is a completely normal reaction to activity. If I do need a little pain relief, I use organic turmeric or ginger.

I have had seasonal allergies for most of my life, and I have taken every allergy medicine known to man. But in the last ten years since I drastically changed my lifestyle and diet, I have not suffered from seasonal allergies. If I do get a little sniffle and runny nose, my go-to remedy is stinging nettle. Usually, the symptoms stop within 5-10 minutes, and the only side effect is the burning sensation if I use fresh plant on the skin. Dried and ground, placed in capsules, and taken as a pill, there are no side effects except relief of congestion, runny nose, and watery eyes.

Since I changed my lifestyle, I have stopped eating processed foods, sugar or high fructose corn, commercial bread or wheat products, processed toxic oils like soy, cotton, safflower, and only eat organic avocado or olive oil, and organic unprocessed coconut. I also don't eat red meat, but I do miss grilled steak, and I rarely eat grains, rice, or quinoa.

What I do is eat organic whenever possible, natural, and unprocessed. I eat fresh vegetables and produce whenever possible.

My basic rule is, if man made it, I don't eat it! If God made it, I eat it provided that man has not processed it so that it is unrecognisable as food to the body."
