I'm pushing 40 but pass for a 12th grader. I assume it's the constant barrage of chili I eat at every meal keeping everything else in check.

What i notice is that people seem younger until they hit there mid 30's or late 30's early 40's then they start to age considerable. It makes sense tho.

Surprised no one posted this it went pretty viral when it was released.

But ya sunscreen, better understanding of health and changing fashion.

I was trying like hell to find this vid but could not for the life of me remember the title or thumbnail. Great vid that explains it well IMO.

No, nowdays we just have access to medical tretaments and snapchat filters. Aging is inevitable and hit women harder than men.

We could age and die in our primes like felines/cats do but then we would like live only upwards of 30-40 years

I bet she looks great waking up next to without makeup after 4 bottles of wine.

To be fair, that does apply to most women.

Not saying some gym rats don't resort to foul play like steroids and plastic ops (it happens, those tend to have no shame about it). However, a proper diet and the right nutrition combined with working out can go a long way.

Nah, I think social media just exposes you to more people that have held up well.
I worked in retail for several years, I had to check lots of ID's (for phone contracts and stuff like that) so I often knew exactly how old the people I was talking to were, and I'd say the majority of 50-60 years old still very much look their age.

The thing that has changed though is that I do think there's more older people now that still remain active, still dress fashionably, dye their hair, use cosmetics, etc.
Both my parents always say that when they were young people in their mid 50's would often just slip into that "grandma/pa" persona, they'd relax on their diet and get fat, they'd start using "old people clothes", they'd stop looking after their hair, etc. All of which adds up to make you look older.

There is nothing genetically real about those photos...

Filters plus a hefty amount of plastic and performance enhancing drugs.

But I would say non fake plastic older people wouldn't look so old because of better knowledge of sun damage, healthy lifestyles, less harsh physical labor and so on... unless you are in a 3rd world making apple products then you'll look 80 when your 30

And ive seen plenty other ( old people in good shape and look younger)

Genetics? Healthy lifestyle ? Really made the difference?

That woman had a lot of work on her face and it looks bad. Everything is pinched. I can tell easily by looking at her face that she is in her 60s.

Her body is tight which takes work and with all the drugs out there it helps.

Plus people her age were probably the 1st generation to wear sunscreen. It makes a huge difference in the aging process.
