A television commercial endorsed by a famous actress here in the Philippines, Answered this question and it goes like this; "I stay young with right attitude and exercise". In my case, I don't engage into many activities, it is enough to take care some pets like dog, eat a lot of food and sleep. Being young is a gift and it must be treasured. What would you do to stay young and fit?

By smiling. Since I begin to work at 14 I'd observe adults and how different they were and wich one I would like to grow to be like. Those who most smiled, it doesn't matter their job, their salary, how their husbands treated them (I watched more women of course, but okay, wives) were so attractive in a way that I wanted to be around laughing together and everyone else were. I admired them for being strong and true to their selves. They didn't get the mood that is around everybody else, like in a bad day everyone has that sour face but they were okay, they standed out and EVERYTIME I gasped to hear THEIR AGE!hahahaha Really, they looked at least 5 years old but I sware, there were 10 and 15 years younger looking adults as well, and I'm talking about adults with 50 years old or 40!

Yes smiling also help! My mother was always wearing a smiling face, and she is now over 60 years old but still comparing with the same ages my mother seems to be much younger than her same age.

I am always mistakenly thought that I am young by others, but I am already 31 years old. I look young maybe because I ignore aging, I never thought of it at all. Plus I am taking some vitamins like grape seed extract and sometimes ascorbic acid. And I think that makes me look young.

yes but it has a disadvantages though. Me and my husbands enter a cinema that has an adult rating and the guard wont let us see it because they taught that I am a minor. Also a traffic officer interrogate me due to driving without license as he only assumes it, good thing that I always bring my driving license with me.

it's hard to stay young outside, but inside we can do it. for me young is the passion to do something what you really like, and feel hopeful to the future. i'm agreed with the famous actress said, the positive attitude and exercise. i don't like do exercise any more, but i have to. it helps me keep healthy. i thing you should take a more healthy life style, eat and sleep a lot is not good for your health. anyway, it's just a suggestion.

To stay young, I think it's impt to b young at heart at all times. It's also impt to stay happy, learn to cultivate an inner joy that can never b taken away fm u no matter what ur outer circumstances may b. That will certainly keep u looking young. Sorry, I can't comment on how to keep oneself fit, cos I don't like to exercise. I keep myself fit by taking vitamins.

Yup, it's true. Learning new things keep our minds young. When our minds r young, they'll b shown outwardly.:)

Huilichan8 is right, it's most important to stay young at heart and cultivate an inner joy. I think a key thing to staying young is to be constantly learning and doing new things. Scientists say that learning new things helps prevent diseases like Alzheimer's, which I think of as an 'old person's disease. It would make sense that learning new things also keeps your mind young!

Physically we can't stay young forever but we can always do something to slow down the process of aging. That we can do by healthy eating and healthy living. I don't eat lots of food but rather I eat just all healthy nutritious food. I can't indulge in foods that can harm my health such as the fatty and salty food and a lot more junks. Some young folks look old because they are sickly but some old folks look younger because they are healthy so which would we choose? It is important for me to have a healthy diet, a daily exercise of at least 30 minutes a day, enough sleep and healthy lifestyle. Being young can't be forever but being healthy can be. We all would age and die at an appointed time but we can always be healthy till the day we die provided we make the right choices in life. We only live once and we should make this life worth living by choosing to live healthy and wise.

I think we should keep a good attitude toward life and also take care of our health.Maybe the most important is our attitude of everyone.That would be no problem if we eat a healthy diet and sleep good.I pay great attention to my health problem,so i think it is really helpful.Have a good day.

If you're talking about staying young physically, I think there are just some people who are gifted with genes that makes you look younger than you really are. If you're one of them or not, just maintain your young looks by not letting stress or problems get over your life.

Good evening dear mylloter friend Koneho12 , well this subject it is soo fragile and in the same time verry controversal in my point of view , first of all i am barely twentyfive years old and in my definition i still consider myself young , but in my opinion if you talk about looks , every people change phisically once years pass by , but what i do every day in order to maintain a good body , i exercise every single day , for one hour , and three times a week i go jogging , since i can't afford alot of time i run for maximum three quarters of an hour , i wish i could jogg every day ; but all the responsabilities i have for the time been simply doesnt allows me to do so , but doing exercise every day and jogging every time i get the chance make me keep my body in a good form , eating healthy its another key element in keeping a good and healthy body , wich in mmy view its the key to staying "Young&Fit" I wish you a verry great evening dear friend. Hosman,

Watch hat we eats and enough sleep is the key for us to stay young inside and out. Regular exercise and positive outlook in life. Clean living and eat lots of greens.
