Aging Gracefully
Facial fillers, laser treatments and plastic surgery are more popular than ever -- and are a good option for some patients. But, they aren't the only ways to defy the aging process.  Â
"I think american culture focuses too much on the superficial aspects of aging," said Dr. Deepak Chopra. He says a healthy diet, a good night's sleep and positive relationships go a long way toward keeping us younger. Â
"Artificial treatments, in the long run, make people look worse because their face begins to look like a mask. also, they don't feel good about themselves," said Dr. Andrew Weil. He argues it can be unhealthy to deny the reality of aging. Â
"You know, you can do all you want about wrinkles in the skin and maintain a youthful appearance in the face. But that's not doing anything about what counts, which is what's happening inside, in the lining of your arteries and the nerve cells of your brain," he said.  Dr. Weil believes good health leads to beauty. Dr. Chopra has his own words of wisdom. Â
"Focus on the quality of life. Add life to your years and then years will be added to your life."Â
