What Keeps a Woman Looking Young?


What Keeps a Woman Looking Young?
This is perfect timing riding on the tails of the book The Blue Zone, where we discussed a balanced lifestyle of healthy eating, exercise and family. This morning while signing onto the Internet I saw this article regarding a study done identifying the aging differences in twins due to lifestyle. The above picture tells the story. The twins above look ten years apart. What's the key? Susan ( on the right ) is a lifelong sun worshipper. In addition, Susan began smoking in her late teens, and although she stopped for six years in her 20s, she averaged a pack and a half a day for 16 years before quitting in her late 30s. Jeanne never smoked.
The article, What keeps a woman looking young? is very interesting and discusses several more twin studies and key issues like the effects of weight loss on your apperance according to age .

  1. That is interesting. I have to look for this book! Smoking makes you look way more older than you are, inside and out!
