Yes, by the grace of time, we have aged. But then we see Tom Cruise jumping buildings with that boyish grin and Anil Kapoor rocking those dance numbers with fluid moves giving a tough time to their age. It would be a lie had you never imagined yourself in their place. Then again, why imagine when you can achieve this miracle. Beat your age with our 10 proven ways.

A study has shown that people who do not sleep properly tend to age earlier. Various hormones are released during sleep which helps in cell growth and recovery. It also lowers the body's cortisol level, controlling lines and wrinkles. A good 7-8 hours of sound sleep schedule is a simple yet effective way to reverse ageing.
4. Keeping it Simple
Keeping it simple just means to keep it simple. Often, we try to act according to our age, and try to sound more mature unnecessarily or try to act childish to prove our heart is still young, which doesn’t go very well as we are not all paid actors. The trick here is to act naturally rather than acting like someone who doesn’t fit our character. If it is meant to be funnily stiffening a laugh will not make you look cool, and nor will cracking dad jokes get you anywhere. People will acknowledge you for the way you are.
