As an old man that looks old (hair aside) I can appreciate this, you make some good points here there are many lifestyle choices we can make to help improve our health and prevent premature aging.
Stress is something that will affect most of us, only the very privileged will avoid it - but it can be managed and of course if we are lucky enough to have good support from friends and family that will help alot.
Excellent post, I really enjoyed your own pictures enhancing it - they made it quite special and more uniquely your own work.
Years are only important if we are some kind of cheese, or wine:) I tend to look younger than I really am, and although my life has not been easy, I think I am learning to enjoy it. To understand it a little.... It is up to us to choose how we wish to live, whether in constant stress and worry, or in joy and tranquility, the latter is apparently a fountain of youth. Thanks for the visit and support :)
