First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong part of the site, I didn't really know where to put it mainly because this is just an underdeveloped idea I was thinking about and was wondering if anyone else has ever thought of this and/or might be able to help flesh out the theory. Obviously it goes without saying that kids don't look young simply because they have lots of energy and are happy, though I was wondering why adults with similar energy levels or exuberance is so uncommon and if this lack of emotion could have anything at all to do with looking older beyond just the halo effect of a smile or whatever. I was looking into articles that say that happiness boosts oxytocin, serotonin, etc. which of course has a positive effect on your body. It made me wonder if you could consistently get all of these chemicals as high as possible if that would help you look younger and exactly how much. I read a lot of stuff about creating high emotional states in yourself through imagination, which I have been able to do and it seems like the more I do it, the easier it is to repeat and strengthen, though these brief periods aren't yet long enough to notice lasting changes, I do think that there could be something to the idea that if you feel good a lot, that your body would reflect that in some way. Does anyone have a faint idea of what I'm getting at?
