Biomarkers of aging are the variables that play the largest role in determining you health and vitality for a lifetime. Biomarkers are objectively measured variables which help in the assessment of determining your biological age -your body's actual age as opposed to chronological age- the number of birthday's you have had.

TOP 10 BIOMARKERS

  • MUSCLE MASS: The amount of lean muscle tissue on your body- the more muscle mass, the younger your biological age
  • STRENGTH: Your ability to resist weight- the stronger you are, the younger your biological age
  • RESTING HEART RATE: The lower your resting heart rate, the more efficient your heart is at pumping blood and the younger your biological age
  • BODY FAT %: The per cent body fat of your body- the lower your body fat, the higher your lean muscle and therefore the younger your biological age
  • AEROBIC CAPACITY: Your body's ability to process oxygen from the air and move it into your bloodstream and throughout your body- increases with exercise- the higher your aerobic capacity, the younger your biological age
  • BLOOD SUGAR TOLERANCE/INSULIN LEVEL: Your body's ability to control and process blood sugar (glucose) from food via the hormone insulin and distribute through your bloodstream to your body for fuel- the lower your fasting blood glucose and insulin, the younger your biological age
  • CHOLESTEROL/HDL RATIO: The ratio of bad cholesterol (LDL) to good cholesterol (HDL): the less bad cholesterol (LDL less than 100) and the more good cholesterol (HDL greater than 40) the younger your biological age
  • BLOOD PRESSURE: The level of pressure exerted by the blood on the blood vessel walls when blood is being pumped throughout the body- the lower the blood pressure, the more efficient the pumping system and therefore the younger your biological age
  • BONE DENSITY: The density of the mineral content in your bones- the stronger your bones, the younger your biological age
  • BODY TEMPERATURE REGULATION: Your body's ability to maintain its internal temperature- the better your body is at keeping a constant body temperature (regulated by thyroid gland) the younger your biological age

 

BIOMARKERS OF AGING can be improved throughout your lifetime giving you a younger Biological Age even though your Chronological Age may be higher. The GOAL of a program in Age Management Medicine is to lower your Biological Age by changes in Nutrition, Exercise, Supplementation and Hormone Balancing and Replacement. All of these factors contribute to your Biological Age and can be optimized to improve your overall body function so that your Biological Age is 8-20 years younger.

With aging comes wisdom. If you decide to start making the best choices in Nutrition, Exercise, Supplementation and Hormone Balancing and Replacement, in time, you will improve your health and fitness, have more energy and lower your Biological Age. Begin to make your changes today- it is never too early and never too late to start an Age Management Program.
