Considering the assumption that age is just a number it comes with some shocking explanations. Studies conducted by Becca Levi and other researchers have concluded that changing one’s outlook on aging from a bad to good can increase life expectancy by 7.5 years which is surprising for most people. Not only does this add more years to one’s lifespan but managed to do so to altering one’s mindset only rather than exercising or even lifestyle changes. This goes to show that people’s views on aging carry a huge impact on their health and overall longevity.
