When you were in elementary school, the government has already decided that you are going to serve society. The problem is that when you are holding onto something mentally your whole life, like a society, stress builds up in your body. And you age on the outside. You will still age normally on the inside, but you will look older eventually because you are holding onto society. The trick to looking young your whole life, is simply to be free mentally. But then you have to let go of society at the same time, and no one wants that out of the eight billion people who are

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

While it is true that mental and emotional strains can age us in the natural their omission isn't the lone criteria for youthfulness. It has been well established that there are many contributors such as diet, lifestyle, physical fitness and spiritual practices. But the greatest determinant is genetic and you'll see it echoed in your loved ones.
When my grandmother was in her eighties I noticed her skin and hands and marveled. She had very few wrinkles and I touched her face with delight. The women in my family enter menopause much later than the norm which extends our fertility and estrogen. I haven't started myself and while I've aged my bloom hasn't faded and in some ways it's more pronounced.
My aunt was very fastidious about skincare and insisted I care for it during my childhood and I did. I was at beauty counters at a young age and saw estheticians too. I didn't spend a lot of time in the sun as an adult. And that's the other aspect too but it isn't practiced as frequently in America like you'll see in Asia. It's definitely hotter than it was in my youth and a parasol makes a difference.
I'll be the first to admit the others help but youthfulness is an aspect of beauty bestowed by God. Nevertheless, this is the first time in our culture in modern times when women are encouraged to care for their skin through good practices and opt for less makeup than before. We're more knowledgeable and it's no longer the realm of counters in department stores. We have access to products from around the world and they're healthier too.
I don't frequently hear men speak along these lines on the site other than @SarahsKnight and it's a refreshing change. I consider it a duty to care for your temple inside and out.
