8 Surprising Facts About Your Body That Could Indicate a Longer Life

2. You Look Younger Than Your Age

Do people often mistake you for being younger than your actual age? According to a study conducted by Danish scientists, this youthful appearance could be indicative of a longer life. The research followed 187 pairs of twins over several years and found that the twin who looked younger generally lived longer. Genetic factors and lifestyle choices—such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep—contribute to maintaining a youthful appearance, which may, in turn, be linked to longevity.
