Knowing what actually ages us is a good way of helping ourselves to stay young longer. Not getting enough sleep is one of the worst ways of aging ourselves. when we sleep our body heals and it is very important to good health. Eating healthy foods is nearly as important. Foods with omega-3 like olive oil and flaxseed. Eating fish and poultry instead of red meat will lower the risk of gut inflammation by 18 percent. Cigarette smoking as well as being linked to many diseases such as heart disease and cancer, it also causes collagen to breakdown and that causes loose and wrinkly skin. The importance of vitamin d is more important than we may know. It also inhibits inflammation. 20 minutes of sunshine and vitamin d fortified foods such as tofu and mushrooms is all important.

Stress is a real factor as well. People need to remember to take time away from the things that stress them.

@celticeagle Some of us take stress worse than others. If only I could be one of the ones that let these things roll of their backs.

Stress and factory foods, such as things in a box, are things to consider dealing with or avoiding.
Fast food will certainly make us age faster than fresh food, won't it?

True talk, but in some advanced country they get older quickly due to much stress there
