Secrets of Successful Aging...

I found this article for be interesting, albeit lengthy. A few interesting things...

• Potential life span of a human body is 120 years!
• Only 30% of aging can be explained by genes. The rest is in our hands.
• Stress, which most people view as an emotional state, can wreak havoc on our physical well being.
• People who age well tend to be close to extended family and have a strong network of friends and social relationships.
• Personality traits such as optimism, adaptability and a willingness to try new things also seem to be linked to better aging.

The article is a lot more richer than the points that I have laid out. For those who would like to read the full article, I have attached it here.
