Needles and scalpels scare the begeezus outta you–now here’s a way to make 40 the new 30 without a doctor’s help:
Surround yourself with good old friends pronto–“old” being the key word here. Hanging around with older people will cause others to estimate your age to be younger than you are, says research from Jena University. It seems when we see many older faces and then see a younger face, we estimate the young ‘uns age as substantially lower.

This week, Health & Swellness is spotlighting some of the get-gorgeous hot spots in Leslieville. This east-end Toronto ‘hood is best known for its brunch, bakeries and coffee shops, but a girl cannot get by solely on caffeine and cupcakes, and, thankfully, a few beauty shops have started to crop up, too.
Who: Steeped and Infused
What: Jennifer Best opened up her tea shop in Fall 2009. Besides stocking 80 varieties of loose leaf tea, Steeped and Infused also hosts Intro to Tea and health workshops along with tea leaf readings — fun!
Why: Get your green tea fix here to beautify from within. Green tea, in case you haven’t heard, is truly a beauty potion. It’s been linked to everything from weight loss, and healthy skin to having a younger biological age. Health & Swellness’s fave: Steeped and Infused’s Japanese Cherry variety.
When: Mondays 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.; Tuesdays to Fridays 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturdays, 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sundays, 11:30 to 5 p.m.
