Have you observed around you certain people who dont age ? I dont mean the looks at all , but when you interact with them you feel like you are interacting with a young person . I have met many of them in the age group of 50-70+ years . Initially a curiosity , now an observer , i realised its not the food they eat or the dress that they wear that exudes this youthfullness . It is their attitude . Not the "ego " which makes people age faster but the youthful attitude they have towards life in general .
Im not saying that a 75 year old should be the first one to jump out when someone says "disco " or a "marathon " the attitude of "why not ?" makes a difference in your ageing process . Jokes apart studies have proven that even physical ageing slows down by a change in attitude . All the people whom i have met who have this youthful bubbliness even look at least 10 years less their age . Hoiw many age defying creams do that actually ?
Another factor i have observed in these people is their sense of humour . Casual observation around you will make this clear . Generally younger people are less inhibited when they enjoy humour . Maybe because the realities of the world have not started affecting them but the fact remains that especially in these days no one is preventing you from having a hearty laugh . But many older people find it inappropriate to have a hearty laugh as they are supposed to be more mature . And the same world has laughter clubs to promote laughter .
Last ten years its been fashionable or even essential to go to school or study in older age group . But spontaneously seeking out new knowledge makes a person younger . For that is also growth and this attitude towards knowledge whenever exhibited by an elder person also makes him younger . When i was studying in school i had a combined study mate . She was not my schoolmate neither was she my age . She was learning english while i was studying physics and chemistry . And she was reading simple sentences . It was my grandmother who wanted to learn english reading and writing and every 10 minutes she asked me doubts . Recently my aunt who already is a Masters in Science did a Masters in another subject . And i am sure that she didnt do it for anything else rather than the thrill of learning .
And yes this aunt of mine also has all the traits in this blog .
These days the number of people who are becoming younger as they age is increasing but the above three traits can be cultivated if you want . And of course it is cheaper than the "age defying serum/cream " which is being advertised and used by countless people which only makes the manufacturer richer ...
