Damn, back in the day people were looking :flabbynsick: at extremely young ages

[acri1]

Just something I ran across. I don't think it applies quite as much to black families but even when I see old family pictures, people who are the age I am now (or younger) do look older. Don't know if they smoked too much or what but cot damn -

Different diets. 60 years ago, It wasn’t known that drinking a gallon of water a day can shed years off your age. Medicine has improved. Facial treatments like alpha hydroxy or retinol, which make you look younger, weren’t available then. We’re constantly evolving. We will be looked at the same way, 100 years from now, when humans are living until they’re 400.

Imagine how fast people aged centuries ago.

Shocker that CACs age like bananas dipped in milk left out on a table during the summer

Life was rough as hell for centuries up until just these past decades. Also the whole concept of "teenager" didn't even exist for most of humanity. You were a boy, then you were a man, with all the traditional roles and stress that came with that. I mean you don't even have to go that far back, look at NBA rookies now vs NBA rookies in the 90s.

This. Both my grandfathers looked old as hell in their 60s compared to how my dad and uncles look now in their 60s.

White people just age fast/badly for the most part. Some of them are born looking old.

Fewer bald men then, though.

Not rare for men in 20s to have George Jefferson baldness now. They just shave it all off.

Back then, it seemed rare to see balding men.

Shorter life expectancy. Less vitamins. Rougher life. Less access to info.

Take your pic.

Someone on my Facebook timeline the other day asked which generation is the healthiest and some clown tried to argue that boomers were healthiest

 

[Coco Loco]

Well they’re white so they’re gonna age earlier. Lifestyle changes and eating habits are preserving people these days
