I know it can be genetics, but doesnt ones outlook on life help slow down the aging process?

I'm 51 but most say I look about 35...check out my 360. profile & make up your own mind....I have 5 Children....My eldest is 35 & youngest is 16....when I go out with my 30 year old son everyone thinks we're married or together at least.
My husband is 27 yrs old which makes him 24 years younger than me....we've been together for 7 years & married for 5.
I don't worry he'll go off with a younger woman, he tends to worry I may go off with another young guy though sometimes...lol...
Yes! Genetics do play a part but so doe's our attitude to life....lots of sex helps to keep you young plus a young image goe's a long way too along with a good diet & exercise.
Alcohol [well, too much of it anyway] will cause aging faster than anything else along of course with cigarettes & bad diet....I guess genetics plays a larger part than most but by no means is it the make or break all it's made out to be.....

I believe it is your outlook on life. I always get teased for always smiling and being too happy even by strangers. I'm 21 but everyone thinks I am 16. I believe if you always keep a positive outlook and attitude it definately helps. It also helps if you don't smoke and drink excessively and maybe genetics too I'm not sure. But always keep a smile on your face that way your facial muscles can be toned.

I am told I do, which is somewhat of an ego-boost for me because I'm 50.
It's not just my outlook on life. I put this down to the fact that I work with young people, many less than half my age. I treat them like my equals, and they in turn keep me young.

yes. I am 25, but people always under-estimate my age by 6 years. i think i could be due to my petite frame and baby face. my mom doesnt look young for her age at all. neither do the rest of my family.

I'm frequently told I look about 40. Because I'm 54, this is rather flattering.
It could be genetics; it could be in my movements or speech; it could even be that, deep inside, I still think I'm in grad school, and act accordingly.
Or, it could be the necklift.

I think I look my age or older, However people are always surprised at my age or think I'm younger because of the way I act.

Yep. It does. You are as young as you think yourself to be. Lively and active routine and environment help in reducing the aging process.... :-)
