A University of Texas study found that having a positive attitude may have aging ladies and gentlemen feeling younger, sans cosmetic surgery.
Authors of the study theorized that it has something to do with the connection between the mind and body. Essentially, a positive outlook may reduce stress and improve physical health - and that means younger looking skin, stronger bones and a healthy heart.
A recent article in the AARP Magazine reported that knives and scalpels are hardly necessary in order to feel more vibrant and youthful. The piece cited actress Helen Mirren and Hillary Clinton as examples of women who age gracefully.
"More than surgery, it's better to take good care of your health and body and to have fun with clothes and makeup. Looking youthful rather than looking young means having a certain energy and good health. That's something we can aspire to and achieve," said Lois Joy Johnson, founding editor of More magazine, quoted by the news source.
