Understanding Your Lifestyle Stress Indicators

The LP lifestyle stress indicators are calculated from information you have supplied in your online questionnaire. They estimate the physical, biochemical and mental stresses you have been placing on different systems of your body in your life so far.

The lifestyle factors used here to calculate these stresses are:

Smoking
Being overweight
Exposure to urban pollution
Lack of exercise
Stressful work / living
Sedentary work, expecially work at a desk and on a computer
Lack of fruit and vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables
Consumption of refined carbohydrates
Consumption of products with added sugar
Consumption of meat and dairy products
Excessive alcohol intake
Consumption of caffeinated beverages
Consumption of unnatural fats
Polluted water
Exposure to soft plastics
Distrupted sleep patterns
Driven work mentality
Familial support and bonding

The weighting for these stresses are varied depending on the system of the body we are assessing. These weightings are based both on associations found in peer review research and also on how removed a lifestyle factor is from the norms humans are likely to have developed during evolutionary adaptation.

These indicators consider the stresses that would be placed on an average person. Individual weaknesses and inherited susceptibilities are addressed elsewhere on your dashboard.
