    According to a recent study published in the journal Aging-US, feeling unhappy, lonely or depressed can make you age faster than smoking.

    For the study, researchers used a deep-learning “ageing clock” to test blood and biometric data of more than 11,914 adults and suggested that mental health has a major impact on biological ageing.
