Mental Health
Chronic anxiety, depression, and comparable mental conditions contribute to faster aging. So, a person with an unhealthy mental state is likely to look older than their actual age.
Take a mental age test to see how you’re doing in that regard.
Physical Health
An inactive lifestyle accelerates getting old. People with little to no physical activity are prone to premature aging as well as health issues such as heart disease.
Perspective
Social standards affect how you will look as you get older. What was considered “mature” or “elderly” is now viewed as “middle-aged.” In other words, the way society defines age changes so does your opinion about yourself.
A fun quiz to demonstrate that is “What Era is My Face from?” See how people of different periods would react to your face.
