There is a lot of chatter in the media about chronological age and biological age. We all know our chronological age, how old we are. Us old coots are never sure, but most normal people can answer the \u201cHow old are you\u201d question without doing the math. Let\u2019s see, I was born in November 1942; I must be 78 and a half. Can that be right? Oh well.<\/p>\n
But that isn\u2019t good enough for our self-possessed society. We want to hedge our bet. \u201cSure, I\u2019m fifty three,\u201d someone will say. \u201cBut my biological age is much less. It\u2019s thirty-seven, because I exercise, eat right, don\u2019t smoke and get eight hours of sleep. Want to know your biological age? You can find out what it is for a mere $399. The Tru-Age Company will calculate it for you. Just send them a few drops of your blood, along with the check, of course, and their scientists will analyze it and send you a report. <\/p>\n
I bet only people who expect a flattering answer will fork over the cash. The rest of us don\u2019t want to know, or in my case, are too cheap to be suckered in by the promotion. I\u2019m having a hard enough time accepting the number of years on my age speedometer. Why be assigned a depressing biological age from the Tru-Age company.<\/p>\n
