“My 15 year old son during trick or treat. What is he dressed as, you ask? He is a Sheild Agent, he wasn’t collecting candy, he was handing out cards to all the kids dressed as Marvel characters asking them if they were interested in the Avengers initiative.”

At its core, aging is a natural biologicalprocessthat occurs in all living things, whether it’s a fruit, a flower, an animal, or a human being.Consider this: What happens to a piece of fruit or a flower as it ages? Its appearance undergoes a significant transformation, shifting from a vibrant and youthful state to the opposite. The fruit eventually decays and breaks down, while the flower wilts and follows a similar path.

When it comes to humans and the aging process, some individuals may appear older than their actual age, while others of the same age might appear significantly younger. These differences can be attributed to variations in the pace at which their biological age progresses in relation to their chronological age.Your chronological age is simply the number of years that have passed since the day you were born. It’s the number you tell people when they ask you how old you are.

So, when someone has a younger biological age, it means not only do they look younger, but they are, in practical terms, biologically younger. The saying “age is just a number” is particularly true in the context of chronological age. Take a look around, and you’ll see evidence of this.

The classic saying, “You are what you eat,” actually holds some truth when you ponder it. Perhaps it should be modified to say, “You look what you eat.” In reality, your overall health and the condition of your skin are closely connected and go deeper than just the surface. Surprisingly, some folks don’t realize that the food they eat can have a big impact on how they look. Unhealthy eating doesn’t just make you gain weight; it can also speed up the aging process from the inside out. Nutrition, whether it’s good or bad, serves as fuel that influences the quality and strength of nearly every part of your body, from your organs to your cells and systems.Hope this gave you some food for thought. Live well and be well. Scroll down and check out the rest of the folks that absolutely do not look their age.
