Did you know that how you perceive aging, affects how long you will live? People surveyed in a study with positive perception of their own aging lived 7 and a half years longer. This effect remained after other factors such as age, income, gender, health status and lack of socialization were controlled. Begin looking forward to aging while you are still in your younger years and it will have a tremendous affect on your life expectancy. People should get better,wiser and more mature as they age, but society prizes youth and beauty above all. Older people tend be more in touch with spirituality and the priorities which have great depth. Follow a simple, healthy lifestyle will enable one to preserve their health and energy for a long life.
This week I challenge you to 'Smile more often'-make the extra effort. SMILE ! SMILE !
