Posted on Dec 8th 2007 1:39PM by Martha Edwards
You've heard of the real age vs. biological age debate, right? Well, you're heart has a biological age that might not be outwardly evident. How do you figure out how your heart is faring in this aging process? Get a heart scan, according to this article from Prevention.

A heart scan can reveal how much calcium has accumulated in your arteries, and in turn, it can gauge your risk for a heart attack. It's particularly important for men over 40 and women over 50 to get a heart scan done -- talk to your doctor and find out how old your arteries are.
