Diagnosing Your Aging Rate And Hormone Levels
By: Frank Diaz

Diagnosing your aging rate and Hormone levels

Here are four tests adapted from the 120-year diet: “How to double your Viral Years “
Skin elasticity test. Loss of skin elasticity starts to be significant around age forty-five and is a result of the underlying deterioration of the connective tissue, such as collagen and elastin, under the skin surface. This loss of skin tone and elasticity contributes to the wrinkling and loose skin around the jowls and neck. To do the test, pinch the skin on the back of your hand between the thumb and forefinger for five seconds. Then time how long it takes to flatten our completely. Average rates per age: between forty five and fifty years five seconds; sixty years, ten to fifteen seconds; seventy years thirty five to fifty five seconds. There are large individual variations, so do not take this test too seriously. Use it mostly as a gauge to see how you are doing.

Failing ruler test. This is a test of your reaction time, which falls off sharply with age. Slow reaction time is what kills off old animals in the jungle and old people in city streets when they fail to step out of the way of a quickly turning car. To do the test, buy an eighteen-inch wooden ruler. Have someone suspend the ruler by holding it at the top between your fingers. The thumb and middle finger of your right hand (use your left hand if you are a lefty), should be three and a half inches apart, equidistant from the eighteen inch mark on the ruler. The person lets the ruler go without warning and you must catch it between our fingers as quickly as possible. Do this three times and average your score. (For instance, of you catch it at the three inch, six inch, and six inch marks; your score is three plus six plus six, divided by three, which equal five.) The average score at age twenty is the eleven-inch mark, descending to six-inch mark at age sixty. (Growth Hormone may reverse reaction time in this test as shown by the experience).

Static balance test. r. According to Walford, this is the best of the “do it yourself biomarker measurements. There is a 100 percent decline on average form age twenty to age eighty. To do the test, stand on a hard surface with both feet together, you should be barefoot or wearing an ordinary low heeled shoe. Have a friend close by to catch you if you fall over. Close your eyes and lift your foot (left foot if you are right handed and right foot if you are left handed) about six inches off the ground, bending you knee at about a forty-five degree angle. Stand on you other foot without moving of jiggling it. Have someone time how long you can do this without either opening your eyes or moving your foot to avoid falling over. Do the test three times and take an average. A young person can usually hold a one legged, eyes closed stance for thirty seconds or more, while an old person usually falls over within a few seconds. Check the biomarker chart that follows for values at different ages.
