It is, in fact, your breasts. A study, published by the journal Genome Biology has found that breast tissue is the part of the body that's most sensitive to the affects of ageing. The breasts are exposed to a number of elements that can induce sagging and ageing.
Regular consumption of good diet choices (most days of the week), not smoking, exercising, drinking plenty of water, and reducing sun overexposure helps to keep you healthier and looking younger. Also, having clear, acne-free skin contributes to looking more youthful.

Results showed that participants who were perceived to be five years younger than their actual age were shown to have better cognitive or thinking skills. They were also 25% less likely to suffer from age-related morbidities such as cataracts.
Natural changes happen in the body as we age, such as skin damage from sun exposure, loss of muscle and physical strength, loss of some sight and hearing, as well as changes to our sleep patterns, energy levels and appetite.
