THINK YOUNG TO BE YOUNG!

-

Do you feel much younger than the number of candles on your birthday cake attest? That’s good news, according to recent research that suggests the age you feel is a clearer indicator of how old your brain and body are than your biological age. Your subjective age may vary across different areas of life (you feel full of youth with your friends, but feel older when young colleagues talk about the massive rave they attended on the weekend). Meanwhile, a number of studies indicate feeling younger than your years most of the time, could lower your risk of depression and improve cognitive abilities.
