Looking younger than you are?

Have you ever met someone who likes to let you guess their age? People like that are usually sure you are going to pick a number they have passed several birthdays ago...

And you usually do.

These are usually adults who have either been blessed with a petite frame, a youthful look, or they are those whom most other people would call health enthusiasts or fitness freaks.

It doesn't matter what we call people, or what they do to keep looking younger than they are after every birthday. The fact is, they are looking younger than they are.

If you go around feeling comfortable carrying extra weight on your pear or apple shaped frame, the odds are against you. Health and longevity vary from one individual to another, but many of us let it gradually slip away from us.

Losing some weight can make a stranger think you are much younger than you actually are. Keeping your overweight look can do the opposite. Quick weight loss without the muscle toning effect of regular exercise can make you look sick and older too. So what's the trick?

To keep looking younger and feeling younger than the number used to describe your age, optimize your life habits: eat right, exercise, rest, and trust your Creator to reward your health habits with good health and longevity.
