How to Look Younger

Now, a new study by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, says that no, it doesn’t matter if your mother, Aunt, or great- Uncle aged too fast for your taste.  What actually matter are environmental concerns such as divorce, stress, Anti-depressant use, and weight fluctuations.

There’s a famous quote that says, “Once you hit a certain age, it’s your ass or your face.”  And this studies show that fuller faces (fatter) actually do look younger. “A person’s heritage may initially dictate how they age – but if you introduce certain factors into your life, you will certainly age faster. Likewise, if you avoid those factors you can slow down the hands of time,” said ASPS Member Surgeon and study author Bahaman Guyuron, MD, professor and chairman, department of plastic surgery, University Hospitals Case Medical Center. “In this study, we looked at identical twins because they are genetically programmed to age exactly the same, and in doing so we essentially discovered that, when it comes to your face, it is possible to cheat your biological clock.”

What does this mean? Well, first you need to establish healthy habits including the correct nutrition intake and no crazy diets.   Cut out smoking, and find ways to exercise and de-stress your life.

As Dr. Guyuron says, “the presence of stress could be one of the common denominators in those twins who appeared older.”

So get off your butts, go for a walk, and take a few deep breaths. It looks like de-aging yourself became a bit simpler than first thought.
