London: People who think and dress in a young-looking manner are healthier than those who act their age, scientists at the Harvard University claimed.
Even the development of heart disease and cancer may, at least to a degree, be staved off by refusing to grow old gracefully. The intriguing claims come from researchers at Harvard. In an experiment, elderly men were ‘transported’ back to 1959 for a week.
They lived in accommodation fitted out in the decor of the Fifties, were played TV shows and music of the time and told to talk and act as if they were living then.
By the end of the week, the men were perceived to look around three years younger. Their hearing and eyesight improved, muscles were stronger and minds sharper. The study says that much of the decline of old age may be driven by negative perceptions about ones later years.
