The Palace hotel’s Profile Health and Fitness Club now offers Biological Age Testing.

Have you ever wondered why some people look great for their age while others show early signs of ageing?

Although genetics play a part, for most it is down to lifestyle. Genetics may define an approximate age of death, but this can be moved forward significantly if one makes poor lifestyle choices.

The Biological Age Test can determine the real age of your body in comparison to one’s actual age. It’s a non-invasive test using medical equipment that monitors arterial stiffness from a pulse wave transmitted through the arteries.

Biological Age Testing can have an impact on age reversal, but with only a handful of registered consultants, it is limited to a few official clinics in London.

Lifestyle consultant and personal trainer Paul Sansome has tested over 2,000 people across the UK and found that 82 per cent were older than their actual age.

“In most cases, advanced ageing is by a couple of years or so, but too many people are ageing over 10 years their actual age and up to 20 years older in isolated cases,” he said.

Leading London consultant cardiologist Stephen Rex, who recommends the test, says: “The arterial stiffness-testing procedure can lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes.”

Early signs of ageing can be an indicator of many health issues, primarily the atherosclerosis process, which leads to heart disease.

A recent study by University College London concludes that through a combination of stress, ageing, lifestyle and poor diet, arteries stiffen and restrict the amount of blood being delivered to our heart, brain and skin.

This internal stress shows in appearance through dehydration and elasticity loss in the skin, forming wrinkles and discolouration; more importantly, stress can be fatal.

Stress is part of everyday life, but how it is managed is key to a healthy cardiovascular system.

The Biological Age Test can save one’s life and there’s more good news: advanced ageing in most cases can be totally reversed.

In tests where people showed up to 10 years’ advanced ageing, the solutions provided by Mr Sansome showed a complete reversal in as little as six months.

“If you make these changes on the inside, it definitely shows on the outside; it is the true secret of ageing gracefully… and there are no supplements or potions to purchase.”

Biological Age Testing is now available in Malta at the Profile Health and Fitness Club at the Palace Hotel, Sliema.

The test, with lifestyle analysis and consultation, provides an extensive report and personalised solutions.

Priced at €120, a 50 per cent discount is being offered on every test when this write-up in The Sunday Times of Malta is mentioned.

The offer ends on January 31. To book a test, call 7778 8846.
