You really are as young as you feel … A study from Germany found that older adults who say they “feel younger” than their actual age are actually younger, health-wise – both mentally and physically – than adults who say they “feel old.” And a lot of it starts with not selling yourself short...and think younger. Adults who felt more youthful were mentally stronger, had less inflammation, were hospitalized less, and lived longer than adults who felt like their actual age (or older).
