      Thank you Kirti for your response. There are so many other external factors too responsible for early ageing. I have just penned few important points which will help people to age gracefully, as inevitably, we cannot stop growing old. I am glad you liked my points. But I feel the best way to manage stress is to accept changes and divert your mind to some meaningful activities, which will give you immense joy and satisfaction.
