Knowing how old you are is just simple grade school subtraction. Dirt simple.<\/p>\n Knowing how old you are is just simple grade school subtraction. Dirt simple.<\/p>\n
But knowing how old your heart is inside your chest … that’s not so simple. You may be 40(ish?) chronologically, but an unhealthy lifestyle can age your heart, quickly leaving you with fewer years ahead than your age might lead you to believe.<\/p>\n
So how are you supposed to know the TRUE age of your heart?<\/p>\n
Thankfully the Framingham Heart study has not only done the math, but has developed a Real Heart Age algorithm based on their 40+ years of research into the determinants of heart health.<\/p>\n
This is a beautiful thing for our employees bc they can see the exact effect on their heart age if they were to stop smoking, bring their lipids under control, etc.<\/p>\n
This makes their Real Heart Age a simple metric they can use to dial down their risk.<\/p>\n
Love that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
