I just happened to meet my old friend, whom we used to kid for having found a fountain of youth at 50; he looks more like 30, always fresh, and always looks baby-faced. I suppose it has something to do with genetics and discipline, which was three years ago.

When I met him a week ago, he looked aged at 53; he looks more like a 60-year-old. He is unkempt, having added 20 kilos to his weight, and now has grey hair and numerous fine lines that were not visible before.

When I asked him what happened, he blamed his gambling addiction as the primary cause, stress from financial losses, and he became socially isolated. He also admitted that he has a cognitive decline and easily gets fatigued. He is in the process of recovering his health, but it will be a long and arduous journey, and we are going to help him regain his boyish look.

Question is :
Do you feel that you aged fast because of gambling, or do you feel young and vigorous because you are a responsible gambler?

A healthy lifestyle helps someone to look young which includes diet, physical activity, and emotional stability and their relationship status and many more so you can't blame one thing. While he agrees that it's his addiction which means only he is at fault and now facing the consequences.

Millionth time: Don't bet more than you can afford to lose.

Stress can make someone look aged faster. Some people are addicts and they deprived themselves of sleep and they make gambling become stressful for them. If anyone stress himself (I mean chronic stress), the person should expect himself to become aged early than expected. The early the person stop the stress, the better.

What makes one look older, I think, is not the gambling itself, but the stress. In fact, when you live with a lot of unresolved stress over a long period of time, your mind is always drained by those issues. So there's no time for a better lifestyle. That's what happens.
If you remain responsible with your gambling, you won't lose your precious time for sports or other good habits. Manage your gambling well, and then there will be no problems.

We all feel and look worse when there’s too much stress in our lives. I’ve already written once that people who treat gambling as a way to earn money experience too much stress, regardless of whether they win or lose, since the stakes in such cases are usually higher than what they can comfortably afford to lose. As a result, the anticipation of whether the bet will win becomes extremely stressful, and this affects the body. I do gamble, but I stick to certain limits, and I think that’s a great approach, because in that case your body produces entirely different hormones. I sleep peacefully, I don’t think about the game all the time, and I advise everyone to play, but not to turn it into a job, because what once brought pleasure can easily become a constant source of stress, which strongly affects both our appearance and well-being.

I try to see the results of medical research, about someone can look faster aging and I see the old effect can occur, because and caused:


Conclusion: I must agree with your friend's statement.

Conducting gambling activities and what else someone has been infected with gambling addiction, trusting or not the above quote states 100% of oo, thus clearly addiction to gambling makes old.

I don't think it's because of gambling. I understand that it depends on how we gamble. If you gamble and continue to be stressed because you are expecting something, you will age quickly in the long run, not because of the gambling, but because of the stress.

The only thing I can see affecting his overall health and aging is stress.
Even people who do not gamble can age faster if they are constantly stressed.
Like, I have a lot of white hair, but why my friends don't? They said they don't think much about stress because they age faster if they think about stress too much.
So stress is one of the culprits why people age faster, not because of gambling, since we are supposed to gamble for entertainment purposes.

If stress behind the reason, then science can be justified that stress because gambling can make the condition of the face can look old quickly.
The mind that works because of stress will provide energy that makes the body not work healthy.
Enjoying daily activities with positive thoughts will make actions lead to a healthy lifestyle.

Gambling by enjoying it who is able to receive loss is recommended so that there is no burden for players when leaving a game that will have an impact on health.

I dont think gambling itself makes you age its the stress and lack of control that do the damage. If you stay responsible, set limits, and treat it as entertainment, its no different from going to a game or a movie. But once you lose control, the sleepless nights, debt, and constant worry can wear you down faster than the years ever could.

You will not age fast just because of gambling but you would age fast because of irresponsible gambling, because irresponsible gambling will put you in a position where you ignore all the necessities of your life, like getting good clothes and eating good food just so that you can have enough money to gamble with. This is why irresponsible gamblers have the potential to look older faster than their age than people who gamble within the limits of responsible gambling. Irresponsible gamblers also carry around a huge burden in their hearts, often depressed as well even though they may do a good job trying to conceal their feelings. So I agree that gambling has an impact on the aging process.

You made a good point mate, addictions can leads to sleepless time's, and as an aged person that is already above 40 year's there is a need to build yourself to that point where everything around give you less mental stress since at 40 your sleeping time, period and all that have already changed means you have less sleep that time.

Another thing to note also is that, some of those guy's that look younger than their age when their are 30-45 year's tend to aged rapidly immediately their cross 50-60 years so is expected unless for someone with no experience on aging.

Doing it the wrong way does have an impact on the ageing process, irresponsible gambling is always associated with depression and financial losses, and when finances are your issue, it follows a lack of sleep and thinking about how to recover your losses.

You forget to look in the mirror at how you eat; even handsome people will suffer if hit by gambling addiction. Gambling addiction has a huge impact on our health, and it shows on our appearance. People can easily tell if you are gambling the wrong way; your face and body will betray you.

It’s not because of gambling rather the stress can make someone look older. Gambling was supposed to be for entertainment purposes while it becomes stressful if gambler use it not for entertainment use only.


They are not related but if someone is feeling good all the time without experiencing stress I believe his appearance is more presentable than being stressful.

It's not just gambling, but also general things that can cause stress. There could be many reasons, but of course, forgetting to take care of yourself is a primary cause of looking old. It's better to be happy and healthy rather than rich and stressed. It's like the corrupt politicians who are looking out for themselves and try to cover it up, only to end up looking more miserable than someone should be.

Gambling is not what makes one look more older than his age, but the way we are gambling can do, when we go beyond our capacity in gambling, then obviously things might not be well with us from how we are playing, that is why we must see it as being able to exercise high level of discipline in gambling, while indiscipline should be dealt with, don't sell your asset to gamble, don't be greedy in gambling and don't see it as a way of earning income or divert funds into it and end up being disappointed, gamble as you can afford to and with the intention of making fun.

It's true that stress can affect a person's appearance, especially their health. Simply put, stress can make someone lazy about taking care of their health, and the impact can actually make them look older. As evidence, we can see that people who enjoy high popularity and live luxurious lives are remarkably youthful, and this is because they have a healthy lifestyle, which indirectly proves they are far from stress.

Speaking in the context of gambling, it's true that gambling can be stressful because it involves the risk of losing money, and logically, we all hate losing money. But it also depends on how you approach gambling itself. This means your friend, OP, is on the wrong track with gambling.

Struggles (like battling with something), frustration, depression can actually contribute to the look of someone, if someone is depressed and frustrated, they might not even think about their physical looks and when they are not caring for themselves in the proper ways that they used to as before, they will definitely grow older. For example, there's this man in my place when I was younger, he lost his job and unfortunately he didn't have any investment, it was just a small time after he lost his job, if you see him, you won't even believe that he was the same person as of before, because he looked older and so frustrated, lines that was not there before appeared within months.

Gambling healthy makes you relax and worry less about losses but your friend chose to get addicted and that was the beginning of his problems, getting addicted to gambling makes you worry and you think more about your finances and that's stress. Stress is one way for you to get old quickly. Getting addicted to gambling is the one way ticket to aging, it's crazy how something that is meant to help you relax and entertained becomes your nightmare because you lost control over yourself, I play the game very well but the bad thing is letting the game play you and make you lose your balance. Gambling doesn't make you old but stress and addicted does.

I don't aged fast cuz i never put gambling as a way to double my money. Instead, i used it for the entertaining purpose only. The gamblers who took it as a way to make money may feel under stressful situation, and it decrease its life expectancy, which means it will slowly, but surely killing him some day.

There are so many studies that proven how stressful people would lead to the fast aging of their DNA. I try to bring some studies here.

1. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31230727/, Umichigan studied that a doctor who feel stressed have their DNA aged six tiems faster than ordinary people.

2. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6732-chromosomes-aged-10-years-by-stress/, ACE also found that how toxic level of your stressful would be impacting your body and your brain so much.

In this case, when someone who being addicted reached the level of damaging stressful. believe me he's not only getting aged, but it would also damage him too.

This has no sense. Aging is a multifactorial process. Probably an outdoor work during the summer has a worst effect for the skin's age.

Gambling is a stressfull action like trading or holding shitcoins ;D I would not rely to much on this.
It cannot lead to a worsening of aging ...
There are many important things that could help for a nice living /mitigate these effects like healthy food, healthy habits and so on

I think the real issue here is not just gambling, but the psychological stress, financial loss and social isolation associated with gambling. Together, these can age a person’s body and brain more quickly.
However if one restricts gambling to just entertainment such as small bets, controlled play, and sticking to one’s limits, it doesn’t do the same amount of damage to one’s body or mind.

So in my opinion, gambling doesn’t keep you young, it’s just a neutral activity. I think the real drivers of looking young or old are discipline, mental health balance, financial stability and social connections.

I am quite confident that the aging has nothing to do with gambling, it is only a sentence of his outlet because he cannot control himself to gamble so that it ends with addiction.

What is certain is that he changed all of his life patterns since gambling addicted, anyone without gambling would find the same thing if his lifestyle was the same as your friend, because basically the physical change was caused by our daily habits, if he lived a healthy life even though it was addicted would certainly be safer in terms of physical.

I have always seen myself younger than I really am but I admit that when I had problems in the past and I got depressed, I lived under anxiety and stress, I got thin, I got gray hair, and I aged so to speak faster than normal, although it had nothing to do with gambling I suppose it did, because if you are a gambling addict the losses and symptoms you suffer can lead you down the same path, but it is not that this happens because of gambling, but rather it is a side effect of the stress and anxiety that it can generate in a person.

I think the title is a bit misleading. Based on your story, when you asked your friend, the reason for his bad aging wasn’t gambling itself but gambling addiction. That’s two different experiences. With responsible gambling, you’ll have fun and get the entertainment. But with gambling addiction, that’s when the stress comes in. At least on that part, there should be a clear distinction.

I have found that it's not just on my face, but also on my body and my overall health. I get easily irritated and tired. The body reacts to your mind; if your mind is agitated and exhausted, it will show up in your body.
Later, as I controlled my gambling session, I felt at ease and more relaxed and motivated, so gambling has both bad and good effects, depending on how you spend your time, money, and energy.
Moderation is the key; if you want the full benefit of gambling, it will entertain you, and that's good for your health.

The aging is not neccessarily because of gambling, but stress. The old man has been putting himself under some unnecessary pressure which is stressing him out both mentally and physically. Losing alot of money can be mentally exhausting. His addiction might be making him think alot, have insufficient sleep and even skip meals. He needs a general lifestyle change to regain himself once again.  Stress from gambling is killing him

A lot of factors can cause fast aging including gambling addiction, when an addict is not mentally and physically stable it will affect their health. I've not been addicted to gambling before but I sometimes put myself in their shoes and the feelings is not good. I can imagine them not being in control whenever they are gambling and they can do anything to get money to gamble. I once saw a young man that his hands were tied and he was being dragged by some people. When I enquired about what happened I was told that he is an addict that will steal his family's money and belongings to sell and gamble with it. Gambling addicts needs help because they are not gambling in their right frame of mind

It makes sense that gambling would have an impact on the aging process. It is very stressful sometimes and any kind of stress has an impact on how you age. Keeping physical- and mental stress off you is a key component of slow aging.

I did gamble although not everyday but probably i can categorized as active gambler and mostly i used online casino to gamble and i can says i am responsible gamber because i have good self control and i think gambling has no effect on my look because my neighbor often to says that i look younger than my actual age i think this is proof that gambling is not give the impact to aging process because as long as you can avoiding to stress i am sure you will not aging fast and OP has been give the answers that the causes why people aging fast because those people got addicted and feel stress because thinking their loses and have financial problem

Yes, aside gambling any activities that deprive you of rest, comfortability makes you look older than your age. In general we can say stress is the main reason and this stress can come from gambling. Most folks have huge responsibility, at the same time they dont make good money yet they go about gambling with every little penny they have. While some even with the amount of money they make, cant keep off gambling for a day. Little did they know, this can push into depression, thinking, and anxiety which is not good for the health.

Stress can make someone look older and that's no feat. Because of the hormonal imbalance of what it causes makes people to feel and look older.

And so, that's not a question for that friend of yours that he looked young before but after being stressed with gambling and probably lost a lot of money, he made himself look older.

Because of having not enough rest and unstoppable thinking of how to recover and if there's still some hope for it, his body reacted to how he's taking care of it.

If you make gambling as your primary source of survival, and you get addicted along the line, you are definitely going to look older than your age. Just like you said above, the losses, the disappointment and heart breaks are going to add so much stress to your life and you will age above your age. But if you have other source of income that's keeping you, and you are gambling responsible it won't have any effect on your ageing.

I don't think that aging or looking younger has anything to do with gambling. All the who story you've narrated here surely has nothing to do with the old man looking younger or older. Stress is a normal thing for everyone provided we leave here on earth, but him saying that gambling is the reason that made him look so old is what I don accept. Gambling stress is a mental stress and not a physical stress that could cause harm to the body. He is just aging naturally and not gambling caused it.

You can still be stressful if you frequently lose and gamble what you can’t afford to lose. Having different source of income doesn’t mean you are immune to losses already.

Your losses will always contribute to your stress depending on the amount you are risking.

I believe stress contributes a lot on aging since it deteriorates some of our cells that was responsible on regeneration of our body. There’s a lot of studies about this available in the web.

Stress, not having a balanced diet or enough rest mentally. This has a lot to do with his gambling habit involving the anticipation that comes with playing a bet. Staking above means of income and anxiety.When all this is happening, the body isn't getting what it needs or isn't getting even close to what's being lost. The body begins to depreciate. But once he starts taking nutritious food and has enough rest, he will come back to a better look. How can he achieve this? Stop gambling if possible or reduce the gambling habit since he is involved in gambling. Using what he has to get more nutritious food and resting his head. But it happens to everyone: fast ageing or looking more aged compared to your mates once your body begins to lack nutrients, overthinking, feeling frustrated, depression and so on can cause it.

You will age fast if you are addicted to gambling because addiction steals your joy and peace of mind, two important requirements for looking younger and healthier. This is the only way gambling can increase ageing; when a gambler do that for fun, this will even improve his health and make him live longer. But my version of gambling for fun still remain when you are winning and not when you are losing.

Not really gambling but gambling addiction comes with lots of consequences that could affect one mentally and we all know that when one is not mentally balanced, some part of the body would fail to function properly which is the result of your friend aging beyond your expectation maybe he's gotten so addicted to the point that he doesn't take care of his health anymore but use it to satisfy his addiction. Gambling addiction has very bad effect to human health and your friend is a prove, therefore gamblers should always try as much as possible to do it responsibly so they don't end up in that situation.

Regardless of your problem, you will really have a hard time if you are dealing with something. For some, gambling even makes them younger because of the fast paced culture of gambling but if done excessively then gambling can just cause more stress for you so be sure to only gamble with what you can handle

Let's put gambling aside, if you live your life well, you're going to enjoy yourself, not only in gambling can we abuse the privilege of doing anything, each everyone of us have to maintain sanity in what we do and also not to go beyond our capacity when gambling as well, what we eat also matters when it comes to aging process, how we think and the way of living we have patterned ourselves into will all accounts with time as we live on, be it in gambling or on any other things we do.

This really depends on the individual's approach to gambling. If you gamble for fun and enjoy yourself, gambling will certainly make you look younger. Because what keeps us young is when we engage in any activity responsibly and treat it as a hobby. When we pursue a hobby well, our minds will be calm and we'll always be happy.

The opposite is also true. If you gamble irresponsibly, you'll experience stress, insomnia, and a lot of thoughts, all of which can affect your face, making you look older than your age. So if you're asking whether gambling affects aging, it could be yes, it could be no. It all depends on the individual's approach to gambling.

Scientifically, stress can make you to grow old faster, gambling is a brain work especially when you're making a prediction of gambling all alone, without having a discussion of gambling with friends that gambles with you

Secondly, isolation can also contribute for much thinking, when someone noticed that people around him is isolating him due to the involvement in gambling, that will lead the person into thinking

So for people around us not to isolate us because of gambling, I will advice to gamble in secret, because it's obvious that people in the world most of them don't regard someone who is addicted in gambling.

I don't think that gambling necessarily makes us age quick. It is probably the consequences of a wrong approach to gambling, or maybe other areas of life. You see, when gamblers decides to put a lot of efforts into gambling, thinking that it is the best means to earn a living from it, then there should be a consequence like the negativity that surrounds losses. The mental health happens to be the main target, which then starts to reflect on the gamblers daily activities and life style, which later trigger's the quick aging.

Don't really feel anything. It's mostly stressed with slots. It's fun with sports betting. But it doesn't mean it's about the age or something.

I age fast because of my kids. :D It's actually the gambling that makes me busy with something else, and it helps calm me down sometimes. Look, there are really people who will blame gambling for their own mistakes. Let's not forget, gambling can become a blame game once we feel the losses. I don't blame them if it's their way to heal, but the truth is, it was our choice in the first place.

If gambling has any impact on aging, it is probably a negative one unless people play to have fun but most people I know are obsessed with winning and that's why they mostly look older than their actual age. I get your point though. The minority play to have fun and the happiness they get from gambling increases their life span... The thing is most people who play to have fun would still live long enough even if they weren't gambling because they probably had enough money to do anything that would make them a happy person. People who struggle in life though, they want to be happy too, by trying to hit the jackpot in a casino which in my opinion isn't the right path to take in this life. And yes, they look older and older because they are chasing the wrong answer.

Lifestyle, diet, and excessive stress can make you age faster because too many worries will eventually lead to stress, which will cause you to age quickly.

It is possible that many people age because their minds are stressed, perhaps due to thinking about their losses even though you are responsible, the feeling of annoyance that causes stress will always be there.

But most importantly, a clean lifestyle may make you look younger even as you age.
Avoid excessive gambling, as I have observed individuals appearing older than their actual age, resembling someone neglected due to severe gambling addiction.

Well sometimes it can but I think it limited to some type of gamblers because not all the gamblers go all in into the act that it makes them so crazy because an addicted gambler that have been into the system badly will be stress out eveytime in both the emotional and even physically aspect and we all know what emotions and stress can cause to a struggling man who is never at peace no matter the stage of life and this whole act can prompt the person to age very quickly.

I have have seen friends who are alcoholics and you can tell from their appearance that alcohol isn't helping them, then I have profitable friends from gambling living their best lives rocking the latest tech and all that and you can tell everything is going right for them such that even their skins glow... Then I have another comp of friends that you can see that they are chasing their losses and unfortunately am not the kind of person that likes to be nosy with people's business, but I have advised them to take a break but this falls on deaf ears and I have chosen peace ✌️ for personal growth 📈

As a person anything that gives you intense pressure definitely will affect your age most times you definitely will look older than your age and most gambling addicts are not just addicted to only gambling some of them are in drugs that kills and weaken their immune and that  will definitely have an impact on their physical looks.

I created a thread about the benefits of gambling if done responsibly.  The problem with your friend is that he got trapped in a gambling addiction and was isolated from everyone, thus bearing the problem and frustrations alone.  This is one cause of his old look.  Not only did he get frustrated, but he also ignored his health by not exercising or doing any work to stretch his muscles.  This is the harmful effect of gambling if done excessively.

I believe your friend can still regain his young-looking face, probably after he fixes his gambling addiction.  All he needs is proper nutrients and to live a stress-free mindset.  I know it is hard and may take some time, but I believe our body has the power to recover if proper nutrients and methods are used.

It's interesting to hear about your friend's experience. This is certainly true, as a person's state of mind and emotions can significantly influence their behavior and lifestyle. When someone is caught up in a gambling addiction, they may experience stress, anxiety, and depression, which can affect their physical and mental health. Stress and anxiety can lead to lifestyle changes, such as a lack of motivation to maintain their health, an unbalanced diet, and a lack of physical activity. Gambling addiction can also affect a person's physical appearance. Lack of sleep, stress, and anxiety can lead to premature aging, such as fine lines, dull skin, and hair loss. Weight gain can also affect a person's physical appearance. Those who gamble responsibly may not experience the drastic changes your friend experienced. However, it is still important to maintain balance and control in all aspects of life, including gambling, to maintain overall health and well-being.

Now that I come to think of it looks like your friend is right to blame it on gambling addiction as last two years I see myself as not as in good shape as I was, in fact I always looked 10 years younger, not because of me of course, thanks to genetics as all relatives of mine, I also blame it on gambling as these last two years or better three as this year I am recovering greatly. I guess it has to do with the fact that gambling addiction increases your level of stress overall which directly impacts your looks as the more stressed you are the sooner you become "old-looking" alike, I hope now to recover and start looking like I did as I hate when it shows up fast, I mean I know we all get old yet I am like everyone else a very hard time accepting it. I don't know anyone to be young or vigorous if he is gambling with a great level of persistence.

It really does impact someone's aging and face game. If a gambler keeps on losing and he never stops thinking of what is his next step after losing a lot, that will make his brain work as if there is no way of stopping it. And when someone is stressed of his situation, that will not allow him to sleep well. You know having a beauty rest is important if you want to keep yourself appear wonderfully because having enough sleep is what makes your skin feel and look young. But for a stressed and problematic gambler, they don't get that enough sleep.

Someone who is addicted in gambling and the person is losing frequently in gambling they thinking of losing always can make the person to grow aged, been addicted in gambling what is the contribute in human life is thinking and also been depressed so anyone who is depressed is having a mental imbalance or mental disorder at the moment, so that addition in gambling is what is contributing to his or her look because, is thinking of the money he has lost and he's thinking many things because they are some people who borrowed to gamble which is not advisable but people keep on doing that so anyone who is owing or who is a debtor because of gambling can never depart from thinking and that will make the person to be growing older than his age

Gambling doesn't have anything to do with aging, but money and stress do. If you don't have money to take care of yourself, it can lead to many things, even if that money is not spent on gambling. Natural stress as well, without good care, can also lead to looking older than the person's age. Gambling is just the excuse I see the person use here, or maybe because he spent most of his money on gambling, that's why he wants to primarily blame it on gambling.

So the problem is not gambling but the individual behaviour. If you engage in excess of anything, it would start having a negative effect. Stress, overthinking, debt, and lack of rest or peace of mind due to gambling addiction could lead to health issues.  And sickness makes people grow old fast.  Responsible drinking or gambling would not affect the physical appearance of people.

Saying that gambling can cause premature aging is quite ridiculous, but if it's accompanied by excessive pressure, it might make sense. Gambling can indeed cause excessive pressure, but this is due to one's own wrong actions, so it's natural for people to say we age prematurely because of our wrong gambling behavior. Apart from that, with alcohol, for example, I have a friend who is addicted to drinking and says that he will stay young by drinking often, but in reality, it actually makes him look unhealthy. This may be due to pressure as well. Because some people turn to drinking when they have problems.

There is no logical ground why one should bring up a correlation between gambling and aging. if you try to create such relation, then we can equally associate aging to every other thing we are doing because in one way or the other, anything that stresses us has a way of making us look older than our real age.

do you know that if you encounter loss in your business that it is going to have a negative effect on you and will in the long run cause you to become really stressed out? exercising too much can cause same thing, not exercising can also cause same and several other things can equally cause same thing. it then means that it is not about gambling but rather that anything that causes you to stress has the tendency of making you look more older.

Any activity with too much stress causes premature aging. Where it is worse is when such a person doesn't exercise nor take good care of themselves but instead worry and engage in special bad habits without much sleep.
Gambling businesses or its owners themselves isn't supposed to be held responsible for taking the blame but the gambler instead who isn't mature enough.

It is simply the chronic stress and health neglect more times than necessary may lead to physical damage. This is the behavior that causes such aging appearance.

Anything that stresses you out mentally is likely to make you age faster. Gambling addiction triggers your stress hormones making you look way older than you should. Personally I don't think gambling has anything to do with my aging process because I'm not addicted to it. As long as you are doing it moderately there should be no reason gambling should have any negative impact on you, avoid getting addicted

Gambling doesn't make anyone age quickly and that's a fact, the things that can make anyone age more than they are supposed to are depression, frustration, stress, lack of money, lack of proper sleep, bad health condition and mostly addiction in gambling. Anyone that gambling isn't suppose to stress themselves over the loss of the game because you might end up losing yourself and risking your health, gambling is meant to be stress-free with less worries and @op have you asked your friend if he is into drugs too because doing drugs is also a quick way to get old.

More precisely, gambling can cause aging when we gamble excessively, negatively impacting both our finances and our lifestyle, resulting in facial changes that make us appear older or older. While gambling is not linked to addiction, aging, or anything else, many gamblers experience these changes. This is a fact.

In fact, the issue of aging or other negative impacts depends on the individual's approach to gambling. When you gamble with the wrong mindset, gambling will accelerate your aging process. However, when you gamble with the right mindset, your life will be enjoyable because you can enjoy the fun of gambling.

No matter how you apply the above, if you're not psychologically balanced, it wouldn't reflect at all on your body as long as your mind is troubled. Gambling addiction and serious financial loss can induce a state of psychological instability and withdrawn attitude where the person cares less about their well being, physical appearance and is always unhappy with themselves because of the constant loss they incur on daily basis and the financial mess they find themselves in. As soon as this person in question finds a way around his addiction struggles and continue living a normal life again, he would start returning to his original nature.

That's the key discipline to avoid addiction through chasing loses

What I know there are few important thing to make your face looks younger e.g. eat healthy, exercise, happy, and skincare/treatment.

Gambling is an entertainment, so it play a role about happiness, if people have no problem with gambling, gambling should make them look younger instead of older. It's not surprising gambling addicts are looks aged because they're not happy and might affect the other thing like the food they eat.

When you can not take care of your health there's no way that you will not look more older. Addiction to gamble can cause harm to a lot of people because they mostly not make easy choices because all they are thinking everytime is how to gamble and make money. Your friend is not the only gambler that look very much rough and older. Plenty of gamblers they do not care for their health are also in the same condition as your friend. Your friend is old because he doesn't take care of himself as all his money go into gambling because of addiction.

It is very possible for gambling to make someone look older more especially when you are an addict. When someone is an addict and whenever they incur loss they will be frustrated and this frustration can cause depression and depression exert stress in the body system and when this happens the person will began to feel fatigue (tiredness) because of what will be going through their brain and this will make the brain work too much by remembering and thinking about the money they loss and sometimes it can cause headache. Gambling can even kill that is, it can make someone commit suicide that is why people are always advise to gamble responsibly.

On the contrary, gambling on its own as a game doesn't make an individual age-up or look old, but rather irresponsible gambling does. And not only that, but also lack of finance, to be able to afford what you want, when you want it also contribute to a person aging even before their actual age. Because I'm 100% if this your friend had a work or skill and was financially buoyant, of which could afford any food he wishes to eat and have quality rest when he wishes, he still would have been looking good, despite gambling. And because of that, that's the most important reason why it's advisable you gamble responsible at always, so that you don't blamed gambling in the future for ruining your life.

I hate to break it, but not everything will be possible to go back as how it was before and importantly their financial status and their reputation, because if they messed up with someone while they are addicte,d then it is impossible to gain their trust back again and just be as how they used to be.

While those things are secondary, one who is going through should not shy away from facing the reality even though it is not going to be any easier.

You are absolutely correct that is the real truth about it because it is only when a gambler stresses himself too much without having a enough rest that he would start ageing fast. Normally too much stress is not good for our health, though there are many people out there that are aged because of much stress. So is not only gambling that can make someone age quick, there are things that our body didn't want. Staying clear from such thing is the best way to live a healthy life, regardless any condition you find yourself.

What a description you make of your friend! Your friend isn't facing fast aging due to him gambling it's actually a problem of unstable financial life which has made life entirely rough for which the conditions is causing him excessive thinking and anxiety out of frustration affecting his appearance.
You friend is enduring depression, that could be the main problem. Gambling under such psychological conditions with losses doubles his suffering.

What a turn of event, someone who's looking good and not aging but with a twist of fate because of gambling, his face turned differently. That's what problems and too much thinking can make someone to. He's probably forgetting about taking care of himself already.

I agree, that's depression and it's hard to overcome that if he is only by himself.

The point is that when someone is gambling, frustration and stress are what can make them look older than their actual age not because they are gambling because there are many people that are gambling and it not affect them. if someone is gambling and it's not always driven by frustration like when they only gamble with what they can afford to lose and it's not always stressing them, it's much harder for such  people to age faster than their real age.So, what really causes someone to look older than their actual age is constant frustration, overthinking, and always being stressed about themselves.

That is why it's always good to follow the advice.only gamble with what you can afford to lose.When you lose, you won’t be depressed. Just imagine someone who only has $100 in their account and gambles $90. If they lose it, they will definitely get depressed and constantly feel frustrated unless it gets another amount that Worth that again.

IMO, gambling doesn't have direct effect on your physical appearance or how you aged. First, it's genetic and second factor is lifetyle. If you gamble, drink, and do drugs, you'll probably get look older faster. If you're overworked and financially stress, that too could be factor. They say gray hair is a result of being overworked and over stressed.

Probably years of gambling, and most likely he could be addicted too, has cause your friend to really age as he was stress and not eating right and not exercising. I think this is one of the worst physical effect on gambling to us, not just financially. And imagine if he borrows money too from other person, so if he lost that money then he will have to think on how he can replay, so it's like a double whammy for him. So for me, there is really a correlation between the two, specially the stress that gambling can bring to us. We have to endure it for years, unless we really control ourselves and take care of our body thru exercise and good eating habits. And who knows, maybe your friend needs to go to a doctor to seek help as there could be underlying causes of why he gets tired easily.

The stress of gambling and loosing alongside has a strong defects on an individual cause at that point you're perplexed, disturbed and having a lot of fatigue cause by an unrest mind and that would definitely lead to gradually fades of onesef and supporting fast aging.have you thought about a gambler with so much debts, an addicted one at thathow do you think he's gonna get out of the situation, so he either start thinking thereby proning the physical self to stress causing aging.

Yeah, In terms of rating trust, rebuilding it after it has been broken is just like trying to fix a mirror which has been shattered, as it will never come back to the same form which it was when it was whole; the wasted years can't be gotten back no matter how you try to fix some things. After you realise your mistakes, it can never be normal.

There are countless reasons why gambling addicts look older than their actual age...first of all you need to understand that people that look very young despite their advancement in age is due to the fact that they are living a healthy lifestyle, this includes their physical and mental health as well...A lot of things can cause aging, one is stress and the other is poor diet...Gambling addicts spend more on gambling and they forget to take good care of their body by eating right to give their body the nutrition it needs

Stress and depression that are brought by failures in life will definitely make a person aged fast compared to others who are living stress free and far from depression. However, I don’t want to point out gambling addiction as the sole source of it, but it could be most possibly the wrong decisions in life that aren’t analyzed well prior to putting them into actions.

Gambling addiction is a choice, so it could also fall as a wrong decision in life. But anyone can get rid from addiction, if you let yourself open for changes, if not leaving gambling for good, at least minimize the times reserved for gambling.

Gambling do not have an effect on accelerated aging. At least, I do not know of any scientific study that has been done to back this up. What I do know that have an effect on accelerated aging is lifestyle. Like you said your friend's lifestyle changed. When you live a sedentary life, eating more of junks and barely do any phycial exercise even as little as walking around the block, then you are bound to experience the effects of aging faster than your peers. It is definitely not gambling.

He is probably correct as stress from losing adds strain to your brain, heart, and overall health IMO. I don't think it's gambling alone, I think it's gambling beyong your means that adds the stress. If you are wagering small amounts on games to make them more fun and enjoying hanging out with friends you are fine, the people that put $5000 a game are the ones at risk of losing possessions and family.

Be responsible and save yourself the stress.

It's perfectly natural for that to happen, as he has expenses to cover and is desperately trying to figure out how to cover them. Initially, everyone came to play just for fun and entertainment, but they weren't ready to lose it. It's rare to find a Real Man willing to lose money, especially if it's a large amount. A small amount might not be a problem. After all, it all started out of pure desire, not coercion.

Anyone who experiences stress regularly appears older than their age. Gambling always involves some kind of emotion, even in those who seem psychologically stable at first glance. Gambling may not always be profitable. We naturally become upset every time we lose money, even knowing it's normal and deluding ourselves into thinking everything is fine. Internally, processes continue to occur that cause our heart to beat faster, blood pressure to rise, the nervous system to weaken, and other factors to cause stress and depression. Add to this the constant presence of gambling addiction, and it's no wonder people age faster, as their vitality fades, so to speak, before our very eyes.

There are three things that are responsible for fast aging

1. Stress, lots of stress.
2. Health wise carelessness.
3. Depression and sadness.

Gambling can put you in one of these positions if care is not taken and I won't blame gambling for it, because people are the ones that get greedy, they chase and risk all they have withing reasoning with the possible consequences. You don't have a win a jackpot as a gambler, leave that to luck and make responsible gambling your main focus.

If you want to be healthy, you have to work for it  it doesn’t come for free or from genetics alone. It's sad that your lively friend aged like that in a short time period. Usually a regular gambler who is addicted for gambling and not a professional to handle always faced this types of thing. No matter how good you're playing if you're not handling your money management smartly you will find yourselves facing this issue eventually.

Chronic stress and cortisol spikes accelerate aging of skin and hair.
Sleep Disturbance will cause dark circles, fine lines

These are the very common reason your friend is aging fast. Gambling is the main culprit for this. In the end if gambling controls you it will effect on you physically, mentally and emotionally. But if you're a responsible gambler you can enjoy it as a form of entertainment

Right, the emotion involved in gambling is really stressful. Others might say that it's not the only reason, but if gamblers constantly losses in gambling and then become addicted to it then they might lose weight and then age a lot.

Plus if you have other things in life that you work on and then you are a addicted gambler, then it will pile it up to the point that you might be breaking down physically as the stress in your body is too high that you can't even sleep or eat regularly.

I feel older because of other stressful situations in my life, not because of my gambling activities. I'm a pretty modest gambler and I won't let my gambling decisions to cause more stress and lead me into an unhealthy lifestyle. I don't smoke and don't drink alcohol. I know for sure that many gamblers are heavy smokers and drinkers. Smoking, drinking and drug abuse are the main factors, which cause accelerated aging and health problems. My problem is that I don't eat healthy and I don't exercise. This is very important for maintaining a good health condition. Genes are a factor, which we cannot control.

Before talking about this topic, we need to know how a gambler gambles. If a gambler gambles with money that he cannot lose or does not have, he gambles constantly with loans or has lost a lot of money in gambling which is not possible for him to recover. In such a situation, it becomes difficult for a gambler to manage his life. He has to be under constant mental pressure. If the same situation continues for a long time, then the health risks will increase which can leave an age mark on his face at some point. For this reason, the gambler must be careful and manage responsible gambling.

yeah.. sadly the chronic stress from gambling problems can accelerate biological aging, making the sufferer look &  feel older much faster. if i recall corrctly its probably something called telomere shortening & inflammation yeah... Gambling problems can lead to physical health problems such as high blood pressure, weight gain, lack of sleep &  mental health problems and are also linked to higher rates of suicide. I would say this is a real public health problem, not just so called bad luck.

the better you could  do is get him checked out by a doctor, encourage personal counseling, if possble cut off easy access to cash & cards and maybe get him into a support program, which would speed up recovery. You know, safety  &  consistent care really work in these cases.

It's mainly the stress and that will do it and the gambling has 100% affected your friend. Stress will turn your hair white even if you are young. Its really too bad how fast it can age someone

Gambling don't do any thing to our health or how we look, it is not a kind of physical exercise or work out. The only way one can get aged as a result of gambling is having to battle financial crisis in gambling, a responsible gambler won't have any noticeable difference, in health, age or size.

Your friend is going to recover but he will be needing more hands to help him through the process, he needs to be resourceful to care for himself, and no longer chase profits like he used to, it is not only about recovering from his physical appearance but mentally to avoid reconnecting to his past habit.

Not having any kind of physical activity will affect how you look. Because you will gain weight and you will obviously look differently than how you did before. If you spend all your time gambling then you will ot exercise anymore and gain weight.
Other people can help him but he has to help himself more than anything.

If you are an addict, you will age faster, because of the addiction since most times all you think about is how to win and take care of yourself and your needs or settling your loans because he has failed to gamble for fun and be free from stress and the unhealthy situation since the wins are not forth coming .
 If he had embrace gambling for fun maybe he would have been peaceful at mind and life will be easy on him to make him look more younger since he will be having nothing to worry about

The hard part of it all is when you as a gambler become so much interested in the potential winning amount, and put all your hopes in that, this way when your expectation fails to materialised, you tend to become stress and pressured to actualize your goals and this causes desperations anxiety and stress, then reflecting directly on your physical body.

The best approach to gambling is to gamble responsibly, and have in mind that fun is what you seek after and not to make quick money  to pay bills or cover other expenses.

Depression and sadness can actually make a gambler get older very fast as the gambler will not have the time to care for himself. Depression from gamble can cause addiction because the gambler might want to do something that will keep him busy. Continually gambling can lead to a lot of losses and addiction. If you are careless of your health will make you no eat healthy because you will use all your money to spend on gamble.

that's why when we are participating in gambling we should do make sure that we use the money we have to participate that will make you to be irresponsible gambler, and it will cut less stress for you because the money belong to you but a process whereby you borrowed money and the participate in gambling and you mistakenly lose that will make you to feel depressed and it will contribute for growing age because you may overthink about it, and I have said it already that overthinking can make someone to grow age because once you are thinking beyond your capacity you are stressing here safe emotionally so that can make someone to slim down unknowingly to the person, and what contribute for that is when you are not using your own personal money to participate in gambling especially when you borrowed and the gambled and then when you expected to win in gambling and at end of it you lose, that's another thing that causes trauma for a gambler.

Stress can indeed influence the physical and mental state of a person, especially if he lost a lot of money owed to this habit. To add, if he incurred debts that are not yet paid. That would really give him a mental toll that can affect his aging. This is a reminder to all gamblers that they need to stop and pause, to check themselves on what they are at in this gambling activity. And they need to alter their lifestyle if it is already a burden to their everyday life.
Too much stress can influence your physical condition and so your physical attributes. We can also see the demeanor of the person if he is in the terrible state or not.

It’s just stress, and I think his gambling activities might have contributed to it. If you’re among th few gamblers who doesn’t stress over their gambling activities or who use minimum amount to bet then you really wouldn’t feel any impact on your health or appearance wise, he might be looking unkempt because of what I mentioned before (stress) or because of other life challenges that he might be facing but just doesn’t want to share with anyone.

There are lots of things that if not handled properly can lead to deteriorating health and a strong healthy person would start to look sickly within a very short period of time.

Take for instance I have been gambling for some years now and I have experienced all the things that a gambler would experience, but I think I'm still the way I used to be nothing has ever changed in my life. Maybe if you noticed some changes in me like aged, that is because the more days are going that's the More we are getting older you don't expect me to still maintain that same stature that I have when I was younger.

Though is possible for someone to aged fast because of gambling, that's those set of people who are addicted to an extent that they don't care about thier health, they can't even buy new clothes, they put on one particular cloth all the time. When you're not taking good care of yourself as you're supposed to, of course you will keep getting older.

Anything with high stress involves making the aging process of an individual harsher on the body.

If yout habit to gamble actually makes an already hard life more stressful it's not healthy and you should stop it.
Plus the harshness of poverty is also something very rough. Having to work hard after your money is depleted and you have not enough funds is something that will make your health suffer.

In these cases of course the best action is to quit for good. Hopefully more people in this situation would consider better activities to pursue.

It is very easy, if you don't have self control of yourself , when you don't control yourself in gambling, gambling will controlling you and it will be disastrous when this happens.

The man has stayed long in gambling and  he supposed to have come out of his addiction in other to help him better his life, since he has being gambling for long, he suppose to be understanding gambling the more and be a responsible gambler to himself and the society, and it is because of gambler like him  that the society finds gambling as being destructive to the society.

I know you are talking of your life not having improved despite all the years of gambling but we must be honest with ourselves that something is changing be it our health or our attitude or even it can be economically. It might not be easy to see since the changes are slow but the output is felt over time. As long as one allows gambling to take over their lives, they are likely to lose things that keep them maintained in life. We should have the guts to come into terms with reality so that we do not entangle ourselves in this same cycle again and again.

Aging faster isn't related to gambling specifically, but to an unhealthy adoption of gambling habits. Actually, every addictions will make people look they are aging faster, because they are harmful to their emotional and physical body. The fact there is a financial loss as consequence makes his situation even more serious, because it seems the impact was really deep, affecting different areas of his life.

When people are stressed and anxious they tend to lose sleep, and it's widely known sleep is an important factor to make the maintenance of our brain cells and skin. People who have issues to sleep tend to look older and always tired.

I think that in the same way, stress, anxiety, all emotions together end up causing these feelings in the body and it needs to react in some way, and usually through hair loss and premature aging. And because of this, gambling ends up causing this.

The issue isn't in gambling itself, but in the stress involved, it is one thing to be a gambler who is always stressed out, going through disappointments and anxiety at all times, being sad at all time all due to financial loses as a result of gambling or gambling addiction which lead to losing money one is or was never prepared to loose.

So, for a person who gambles and enjoy doing it, which means that he or she is always happy and never sad about the outcome of his or her gambling activities, and also is bothered about anything which could cause stress, such a person will hardly age as a result of gambling, stress is the number killer of joy and when one lacks joy, he or she ages faster than normal, so whoever want to maintain a youthful look even in old age should cut out stress completely.

Your points are valid, and in order of importance, I think they come first in the second, then first, and finally third. Initially, gamblers generally pursue their desire for bigger wins or to recover previous losses. This leads them to make decisions without proper consideration, which can impact their health due to irregular gambling. This, in turn, leads to stress and depression.

I would point at stress for this change. This is well known that stress leads to weight gain, immune dysregulation, hormonal imbalance and accelerates the aging process.

So gambling leading to stress is the reason here.

What we can learn is to keep a lid on our habits. Dont bet more then we can afford to lose and dont take loans for gambling. Be open with your family about the gambling habits and maintain a healthy gambling schedule, like playing video games.

I don't know if aging is related to gambling or not but I think if you lose much and feel depressed or stressed because of your loss, that can make you look older than your age. When you stress or depress, your body can not detoxify poison in your body and that will affect your health. But if you can manage your emotions and don't have stress while you live healthily, you will look younger and fit for your age. I still feel young and vigorous because I am a responsible gambler. But I admitted that sometimes stress comes into my daily life but I know how to deal with that.

There are several reasons why the signs of age appear on a person's face. If a person sleeps less than normal every day, then his face may show signs of age, again if a person drinks alcohol regularly or is under some anxiety, then his face will have clear signs of age, again if a person is addicted to something, it may be gambling or any other work, then his face may show signs of age. Yes, we often get to know people who are older than us but when we see them face to face, it seems that they are ten years younger than us, maybe the reason behind this may be that they have kept their lifestyle separate and they follow a regular diet, go to the gym regularly and do physical exercise. If we also want to keep ourselves a little attractive and want to keep ourselves fit, then of course we have to be free from anxiety, follow a diet and do regular physical exercise, so that our body will remain strong.

I was going to bash you saying that no guy looks young in 50s, I searched a bit on net in case there are exceptions, and unfortunately I ain't going to bash you anymore, because I came across this Singaporean dude who INDEED looks young for the age, guy is 50+ but looks 30+, check this video out: https://youtu.be/2FxEDPrh94I


Mind and body go together, whatever state of one may be, it affects the other. 


I don't gamble much and it has no effect on my body/mind whatsoever.

Aging is normal for everyone, and for those who gamble, the process may accelerate slightly. We recognize that irresponsible gambling can have a negative impact on daily life, putting gamblers under pressure, which ultimately makes them appear older due to excessive stress. Of course, genetics also play a role, we shouldn't generalize, because sometimes people hair turns gray early even if they don’t gamble.

It is true that excessive stress affects the aging process. If a person thinks too much for a long time or does not sleep properly, then stress develops. It is better to gamble with money that we can afford to lose, so as not to create financial pressure on ourselves. It is not at all right to gamble beyond our means or to manage gambling by taking out loans, because the future is uncertain and it is not possible to say for sure that you will win through gambling, which increases mental pressure on yourself.

Basically, stress can cause premature aging, and specifically, it can affect the skin, making a person appear older.

My reference :  stoneoakdermatology.com - Does Stress Make You Age Faster? (https://www.stoneoakdermatology.com/blog/does-stress-make-you-age-faster/)

So, if we are talking about gambling, if someone experiences stress due to their gambling, it can affect their aging. However, we need to realize that there is nothing wrong with gambling, we can't blame them, what we do blame is the action itself, and stress can arise when someone gambles irregularly or excessively. Therefore, it is better to gamble responsibly, limit our money and time, and use money that we can afford to lose, so we can gamble safely and comfortably (especially, we don't get stressed). Well, we have discussed this advice many times, but I think it is important to remind all of us.

Gambling directly dont have impact on aging process; stress makes that effect. Compare pictures before and after of people working under stress, or people that took part in war actions. Would be cool if gambling really has that effect. Guy from first post, was 53, gambled, perhaps lost and look 60. Imagine if he has won a jackpot, would that make him younger? :D (not talking about spending money won from gambling on plastic surgery)

That's true, if one is using it as a source of survival, they will definitely be gambling under stress and pressures in order to keep afloat,  those stress will make the mind not to be settled because they will always worry to make profit to be able to afford their needs. If the person has a stable source of income, they won't be worrying all the time and will be free from some stress that will not make them age faster.

A wise gambler is one who treats gambling as an entertainment activity. Those who make it a job for their source of income certainly place a great deal of pressure on themselves. 
A gambler is always aware of the house edge, as well as the chances of winning that can be obtained from the games. If life relies solely on luck, then one must be prepared to endure hunger. 
It is hard to imagine a gambler who depends on gambling living for a long time, over many years. And how could such a gambler handle the daily pressure? It is very likely that this could make such gambling accelerate aging.

Gambling does not cause rapid aging, but if a person is addicted to gambling, his fitness can quickly deteriorate, and gambling can be responsible for the deterioration of fitness. Here I will explain in detail, for example, if a person is addicted to gambling, that person will become ill in various ways. He will be tense for money, he will borrow money from people and will be tense to repay the money, or if he makes a transaction from a bank, he will be tense due to the pressure of that transaction. He will be tense at home due to domestic problems. If everything is always on his mind, then eventually his health will break down due to excessive tension. Therefore, gambling is good if it can be played as entertainment, and gambling is extremely bad if someone is addicted to gambling.

I know what this assumption comes from. What ages you is mainly your lifestyle, like diet and sleep schedule. If a gambler is stressed, or experiences long sessions during which he eats fast food and sleeps very little, he's eventually going to strain his body and age faster.

It's not about gambling itself, but whether you can function like a normal human being despite gambling.

Certainly, gambling is not directly responsible for aging, but when a person gambles uncontrollably, he is under mental stress. And due to stress, they naturally look older because they do not manage their personal affairs properly. When a person continues to act irregularly, he can definitely suffer from various diseases within a few days. This situation is not only caused by gambling. There are many who, apart from gambling, also lose their attractiveness due to worrying about various things.

I mean... Gambling addiction would definitely always lead to negative feelings like stress, depression, helplessness, isolation and even guilt for all the money one has lost to one's bad luck. The combination of all those feelings could undoubtedly make one to age faster and develop gray hairs before one would had withone being exposed to casino games or betting markets.

In my personal case, I have always been careful with all emotions which come from gambling and I have never allowed myself getting carried away by those feelings (I learnt the lesson after a bad experience), so I don't think gambling have negatively affected my health or my physical appearance.

Hopefully the man you talk about can get help, as it seems he desperately needs it in order to get his life back and not to continue to lose years of his life due to addiction.

You have highlighted some very important points through which this type of mental stress can be relieved. i want to say some things too that Regular physical exercise and meditation play a very good role in reducing the mental and physical unrest caused by gambling. As a result, one remains mentally stable. Apart from this, the kind of work that one likes to do to reduce mental stress can be given at this time, such as spending good time with family or friends or going somewhere. However, before gambling, everyone should pay some attention to the issue of financial management. A separate small fund should be set aside for gambling, which should not fall under the necessary expenses of any of their daily lives. Even if there is a loss, it will create a financial problem. Everyone should participate in gambling as entertainment. It can never be taken as a source of income.

I researched this and didn't find anything relevant. I think it has nothing to do with it, because it's difficult for someone to start playing in casinos or betting houses from a young age until they get old. There are few cases of people who have played for many years, something like from youth until they get old. Most people play for a short period and then stop playing for various reasons. For example, imagine that someone is 27 years old and plays at the casino. He plays until he's 30 years old, but then he stops playing. We're not going to say that the guy aged quickly when he's 57 because of gambling.

We know that there are so many factors to be considered in this one, right?

As long as you're not stressed and always happy, you won't age so fast, you will be healthier than being a gambling addict and doesn't care with yourself. It's a pretty common idea where if you're chill on yourself, no stress, can handle problems smoothly and have a discipline can maintain your good looking. Gambling is just a cause of those irresponsible acts like not taking of yourself, in general, as long as you value yourself and don't focus on stuff like gambling, you're good to go.

Always check on yourself, prioritize your productive and healthy habits and of course having a good mental health can make you look young and fresh. Don't stress yourself to gambling that isn't really a good way to make a consistent money.

Although not directly, gambling can accelerate the aging process. If someone gambles irresponsibly, they will inevitably face stress, which affects every aspect of their life. Especially if a gambler becomes addicted, they usually care only about betting and neglect a healthy lifestyle and other responsibilities.

Therefore, do not go beyond limits in gambling, let alone become addicted. Gambling is meant to be a form of entertainment that should ideally slow down aging, not the other way around. However, it must be acknowledged that many people experience stress due to difficulty controlling themselves while gambling.

Stress could make your face look older, even at a very young age. I may not say this will affect white hairlines, but in some cases, it is already a sign of living a stressful life.

Having a healthy lifestyle is very important, but yes, we can't stay away from it as it happens sometimes. And it is much more if we are gambling for money. That surely increases the level of stress, making your face older than that of other people at the same age. Even though you are responsible, stress doesn't go away with gambling. You can still feel it from time to time.

I don't think gambling is responsible for aging because I have seen advanced people gambling, and gambling didn't have any negative impact on their age and appearance. What can make someone age fast is stress, lack of adequate sleep, and an unhealthy lifestyle. It seems your friend is hiding something that made him look older than his age, so I think you need to get close to him and ask him some questions so that you will find out the real thing that influenced his current looks.

I think it is logical that stress is one of the factors in accelerated ageing due to the fact that the body under pressure reacts in a certain manner, which is hard to manage. As you must have observed, although one may be eating healthy, work out and living a healthy lifestyle, when they are under stress all the time lines of fatigue can be noticed.

We also have the knowledge that it is additional to the stress when one pays money on gambling since there is a genuine risk that can rock the mind. Though it may seem that a person can handle it, there is still the emotional aspect, which cannot be easily removed. When this keeps happening, it is understandable that they find themselves appearing whatsoever their age allows them to be.

What actually causes the aging process in gambling is not about winning or losing, but rather a person's mental state & I completely agree with this comment, which means the importance of having boundaries within oneself. Everything should have its limits, including gambling. When someone doesn't have limits, it can significantly impact the gambler's mind & mental health.

Without realizing it, a person can experience rapid aging due to what is currently colliding with their mind. If we experience stress while gambling, we can certainly experience rapid aging because our minds are far from calm. Because fundamentally, gambling is entertainment about winning & losing, not about pressure & coercion.

It means if you're not seriously researching this. Getting aged doesn't mean someone who is 27 years old will look like 57 years old when he's gambling for several years and getting stressed. It needs going through various process in order someone to be aged i.e someone who being addicted to the gambling can't handle his stress, then he keep doing it for several years non stop. It can be guessed his DNA is getting aged way faster than someone who never get pressure and live happily without getting addicted by gambling.

However, yeah not all of gamblers can get aged faster as long as they can handle their stress carefully. I think someone who used gambling for entertainment purpose would not be stressed.

You are right, gambling isn't that general reason than can cause stress but it can actually be that root of it...you made mention of forgetting to take care of yourself as the primary cause but to a lot of people gambling is the reason why they don't take care of themselves..There are people that earn good amounts of money but they can't even buy a decent meal because they spend all they have on gambling

It's possible that this is because of gambling, but some people just handle stress differently compared to others. People who think that it is some special escape that is their solution to every problem in life - if only they won the jackpot, are going to be constantly disappointed and despair when it does not happen. That is a very stressful and unfulfilling way to approach gambling, especially as you pour money in thinking that you are owed a mega win that will never come. You'll often find that addicts will start to ignore other things in life, even basic grooming and welfare like exercise which are crucial to keeping the body fit. We all made decisions throughout our life that could lead to this sort of devastating outcome, so be wary.

Stress is an age quickening.

And if gambling has no effect on someone's aging, if we're stressed, we can definitely aged just because of it.

Maybe some application of his face has kept his posture and face look young but when he's stressed and no longer applying anything, that's shown his real face.

There's more to aging than just gambling; it includes having a healthy system, taking precautions on your intake of anything toxic/ anything that stresses your organs and cells, daily maintenance, avoiding stress etc.. Oh stress, gambling can be a major contributor of mental stress and it's definitely going to affect your health with time.

People think it's all fun, until it gets to the point where you have to gamble on your deathbed to reduce pressure or keep alive. It slows the whole human process and fuels aging!

Yes, that's certainly true, and even I look back and remember how frustrated I was with losses, yet I kept playing, thinking I'd definitely get lucky. But in my case, I'm glad I simply understood that games aren't something you need to fully immerse yourself in. We mustn't forget that our physical and mental state is fundamental, and if we disrupt it too severely, we may never recover. Therefore, we need to take care of these things first, and view gambling as secondary. In any case, these micro-losses each time trigger stress and frustration in the brain, so we shouldn't play for too long and make sure to take long breaks to recover.

Stress surely impacts our aging process and gambling causes stress and so indirectly it does contribute to aging.
Talking about myself, I don't take stress while gambling because I play within my limits.
On the other hand, I do look older than my colleagues because I have white hair and white beard.
This is due to my genetics because my father had all his hair white at my age and so did my brother.

When something is affecting your mental health, it will surely take a toll on your body. Spending all your money on gambling or being addicted to gambling can affect you financially and lead you to depression, which will also affect your body. When the body is not at peace and is always stressed, you will easily lose weight. It is very important for gamblers to be conscious of how they approach gambling because engaging in a way where you can't afford to lose the money you use to play will end up draining you badly.

Well, if you can control your emotions and always stick to your plan, you won’t age fast. You only age faster if you let your emotions take over most of the time, which causes stress. We all know stress isn’t good, what more if it’s constant? If it’s affecting you emotionally or mentally, just stop. Think about yourself first and not just the profit. You can always earn money in other ways like jobs, not just gambling. Don’t force your way into it because no matter how much effort you exert, luck isn’t always on your side.

Even though gambling is said to be for fun, many gamblers end up stressed out after losing a lot of money. I don't know how many people become stressed because of gambling - but the number would be very large if a survey were conducted. Therefore - it takes adjustment for anyone who gambles, self-control is important rather than just controlling spending.

Premature aging can be caused by stress - but stress is not the only reason for premature aging.

Considering the fact that gambling addicts experience sleep disorders, chronic stress, and excessive alcohol consumption, all of which lead to accelerated body wear. As a result of these factors, a person becomes physiologically older than the real age. But if you treat gambling as entertainment, then apart from positive emotions, you will not have any negative consequences.

If gambling becomes a habit or entertainment that is done often enough, it can be a positive thing that will not have a negative effect on the psychology and health of the body.
But the fact is that if you look further in some of the regions that prohibit gambling, more of them become acute addicts whose lifestyle is not even controlled and more negative effects occur.

Every defeat makes a person will experience excessive stress, sleep disturbances or insomnia because he keeps thinking about how to hit the jackpot
and keeps playing, so more losses occur until he finally gives up with worse circumstances.

This kind of effect occurs due to the wrong pattern of gambling, too insistent on continuing to win and make big profits,
so that they forget what the original purpose of gambling was.

Then it should give opposite effect, isnt it? If you treat gambling as entertainment, and you are lucky to win constantly or a lot, then gambling should make you look younger? Positive emotions surely make person look better. That is indirectly. But if a person who won a lot spends on plastic surgery, then we would say that gambling and money makes aging process opposite.

We can't equate gambling with facial care. stress because of loss, become the reason behind that process. Does winning more often or always get a big win make someone look younger? Of course not! However, others will see the gambler as look more younger, but rather as someone will see that gambler feeling happier in their daily life. Stress (in general) or from losing at gambling can affect the aging process, a fact that has been widely researched.

Personally,responsible Gambling is with it's limits, without risking money and health.That way, I'm not drained nor exhausted;it gives a sense of peace.Gambling doesn't naturally make someone ugly.It's the stress,the habits/lifestyle, and the numerous griefs that makes someone age faster, losing their youthful charm and essence.

The way someone approaches gambling determines whether it remains harmless entertainment or turns into something destructive when gambling is treated lightly as a game for fun the outcome win or lose brings temporary emotions but no long term damage but when it becomes an obsession every loss starts a cycle of stress anxiety and sleepless nights that eat away at both body and mind. Gambling addiction often pairs with unhealthy coping habits like alcohol use smoking or staying up all night these habits accelerate physical decline making a person look and feel older than they really are the constant stress keeps the body in fight or flight mode which wears down the heart immune system and overall health over time.

In regions where gambling is prohibited the problem can actually get worse because people hide their habits secrecy adds shame and isolation and makes it harder for them to seek help this creates a more extreme form of addiction where the lifestyle spirals out of control. The root of the issue is unrealistic expectations when players chase big wins or believe gambling is a source of steady income they lose sight of the original idea which is entertainment this mindset leads them to push harder after every loss until they break financially and emotionally. The healthier pattern is moderation set limits on time and money accept losses as part of the game and never see gambling as a way to fix financial problems that way it stays in the realm of enjoyment without turning into a source of suffering.

i think everyone, except those who don't care about it at all, will have dealt with gambling at some point in their lives. you can try it when you get the chance at a very young age, you can wait until you reach the legal age, or you can discover it as a hobby as an adult.

and i think gambling will remain a “phase” in most people's lives. when you move past this phase may not be related to maturity, but learning to manage money can be important because the age at which you experience these phases can greatly affect the amount of money you win or lose.

I believe the main cause of aging is stress. Unfortunately, addictions make us lose focus on ourselves; most of the time, we don't even notice how we're doing, believing we're fine. There are also everyday worries, so we can't blame gambling alone; these are distinct issues and should be analyzed separately.

I don't feel like I've aged because of gambling; I've had other addictions in my life that have been very harmful to me. After freeing myself from them, I look younger and have more energy.

There so many factors I believe that can make one to age quickly. Gambling on its own can not make anyone to age quickly, what can makes to age is the habit that they have form . Which in terms of gambling is gambling addiction and this can lead to stress and depression . So I totally agreed with what you said stress is the main cause of ageing and not  gambling . Gambling addiction can leads to untold stress.

OP your friend probably lost some healthy habits and that was the main cause of him looking older. Probably before he acquired gambling addiction practised sports and ate healthier (you mentioned that he was disciplined) and after getting addicted to gambling he started to prioritise gambling over health and lost healthy habits - started to move less and started to eat less healthy food.

The good news is if he had good health habits before he can get back in the routine easier than someone who never led healthy lifestyle and has to start from scratch.

You're actually right, it's not gambling itself that causes premature aging, but rather the addictive patterns and stress, that often come with it. When someone becomes addicted to gambling, it brings about constant anxiety, financial instability And so many more.
Stress dose a lot of harm and breakdown to the human body, and can weaken your immune system, disturb your sleep, and even impact memory and mood. Over time, this stress wears the body down, and the effects become visible both physically and mentally. So many people suffering from gambling addiction may neglect personal hygiene and self care, poor diet, no exercise, excessive smoking or drinking  which brings down the body systems again and bit by bit they become weaker and older. So yes, gambling alone doesn’t age you, but gambling addiction + unmanaged stress = early ageing.

That is what is about to happen when we're losing money that suppose to be for important things.

We can't deny it that many gamblers do it and they gamble with the money that they can't afford to lose. And so, they think of another solution on how to solve that problem when they are the ones who put up that problem because they have gambled.

Ageing is a different thing entirely that is not caused by gambling it comes naturally but the way and manner at which you gamble can equally force ageing untimely on you, if you gamble responsibly then it will have less effect on you and if otherwise you should be ready to forcefully accept old age.

For those adults that have problem in gambling it impact negatively on them that because of their health issues they finds it difficlult to recover from complications such as stress, finance and others because of means of fixed incomes and social isolation, although the impacts are different because recreational gambling gives can give positive social interaction and involved thinking stimulation

The negative impact on older adults causes more harm and they are more vulnerable to gambling problems due to fixed incomes, health deteriorating and social isolation.

Many factors influence your appearance. Most of them are reversible. But stress is what triggers this whole process. The main reason is that you stop taking care of yourself. This makes you look unkempt, and it seems as if your age has increased dramatically, far exceeding your biological age. However, this is not the case; once you start taking care of yourself again, everything will return to normal. Normalize your weight, start going to the gym, take care of your face and hair, and wear nice clothes. This will make you "look younger." But it's not real rejuvenation, just as your "accelerated aging" was not real.

Medically it will affect a lot and mentally the excessive stress level will have a bad impact on the body over time.
Consuming alcohol, excessive smoking and other additives also disturbs the nervous system, because to make gambling more convenient according to some people.

Finally, premature aging may occur, not because of age problems but body conditions that no longer regenerate properly and more disorders occur.

Unlike people who avoid excessive stress and live a healthy life with regular exercise, they look fresher and look younger and the fact is that they are.
But some gamblers also just play as usual and don't put a burden of stress on gambling, it's just a place to have fun.

From this, we can conclude that what causes stress is the wrong approach to gambling.

When someone comes to gambling with the goal of making money, while gambling is designed to make gamblers lose more often than they win, they will naturally become stressed.

Stress can indeed trigger aging, but if we treat gambling correctly, I don't think it should impact aging.

Everyone have been advised to gamble responsibly by using what they can afford to loss and also not gambling often because the more you gamble the more you are been attracted to gambling and to some point it will be looking like a normal thing but it is not actually and one should be able to know or detect when they are doing or gambling more than they are suppose to... because anyone who doesn't will see himself or herself swimming inside addiction some day. The only time I see gambling to be fun it's only when I'm making profit.

I've aged noticeably, not for natural reasons, but because I was constantly under stress. And all of this is due to gambling. I played almost every day for many years. It took a toll, and it really did. Even people close to me noticed. So I can confidently speak about the impact of casinos on the human body. Constantly worrying about losing money can't help but affect a gambler. Therefore, it's important to think twice before taking any action.

To look young and energetic as a gambler, you need to win more often. :) This will allow the happiness hormones produced to "rejuvenate" you. :)

I'm not at all surprised by your friend's outward changes under the weight of stress from gambling losses. Of course, all his internal stress is pushing him toward "aging", as is his unhealthy lifestyle. External factors, such as excess weight, which always visually "increases" age, also play a role. You'll easily see that as soon as your friend starts losing weight, he'll start to look younger. Also, judging by his depressed mental state, he needs social and physical activity to gain internal "energy" (by starting something interesting), which will "invigorate" him and allow him to "shine".

People feel "young and energetic" when everything goes according to plan (they manage to implement their plans). So if you play responsibly (with reasonable goals), then it will work out.

In this case, I don't think gambling was the initial trigger, but rather the stress caused by gambling that determined the outcome. Gambling did play a role in this case, but the stress factor was usually caused by continuous losses, which made us easily carried away by our emotions, and this could very well make us look older.

Excessive stress, not only from gambling, can cause significant changes. Similarly, when we are stressed while gambling, I believe it can play a very significant role in accelerating the aging process.
However, in this case, I want to emphasize that if the situation is like this, I can conclude for your friend that even though gambling is usually intended to relax and make us more comfortable through entertainment, the opposite is likely happening he is being manipulated by gambling.

Gambling addiction alone cannot be the course of aging for gamblers, it can be a contributing factor for them, people face different degrees of stress in life that can affect their aging negatively. It also depends on the level of stress and frustration that can affect aging, everyday struggles for people that cannot handle stress will affect their physical appearances. If you are a tough person it will be very difficult for your problems to show in your appearance to the level of making you to age faster. Gamblers should try and gamble responsibly to reduce their stress that can affect their lives negatively.

and that is why everybody is emphasizing and stress because gambling gives a lot of stress gambling gives a lot of brain stress that can make you to be age unexpected, and the thinking that we got from gambling is causes by lack of planning before gambling because when you have the budget to gamble that will make you to know exactly what you are doing but a process whereby you don't have a budget it will take less so let us be sincere to ourselves, and gamble with what we can afford to lose because if you come with what we can afford to lose I don't think that will be having numerals kind of stress I don't think that will be that so everybody should take the correction I don't know that gambling can lead you down old age or to age faster because of overthinking and stress that is into gambling

Gambling is directly linked to stress because every bet carries the risk of losing money, especially if you decide to watch a match and your team loses, which can lead to stress. But I think this can be avoided if you bet a small amount that you don't mind losing, then you won't worry about losing. However, I think the modern lifestyle involves frequent stress throughout the day, with constant negative news, work-related stress, and the like, so gambling is just a small part of the overall stress we face.

Blaming gambling for aging entirely seems like a stretch, but stress and anxiety certainly play a significant role.
If you then add life challenges to gambling losses, then you've practically hit the jackpot in reaching the pinnacle of premature aging.
First and foremost, you should never neglect yourself; sleep plays a fundamental role in aging. The cause? Stress and anxiety. If you've lost a lot of money, you become excessively anxious, thinking about how to recover what you lost and how to get by for the next month. Everything becomes more difficult to manage, and the damage is done.
When they say prevention is better than cure, it's not a catchphrase, it's simply the truth.

But there are people who do nothing, enjoy their life, have millions, and start to bold early or their hair turn grey at early age. Some at 35 look like they are 50. Gambling or lets say stress has an impact on aging process or how person look, but it isnt the primary factor.

Btw, have you heard that some people believe that smiling causes wrinkles? Because skin stretches, different muscles work and etc. Wrinkles are an indicator of aging. Is it then suggested not so smile to look younger?

There are two sides to this coin to me, gambling under pressure of losing money is just like doing a heavy work or job that's draining you of your health, and the other side is that gambling can make you age very less.

Why are older men enjoying gambling every day after they retired? It is because there is no pressure applied, they are gambling because they want to have fun, there is no need to chase after money or bet money.

In return they will look happier and healthier, gambling with the hope of making life changing money comes with a heavy price, instead of longing for such it is better to target having fun while risking non life threatening amount of money.

There are many reasons for old age, one of which is anxiety. In addition, due to the lack of necessary physical labor and nutritious food, weakness occurs in the human body. Gambling is not a direct cause of human aging, but it can be considered an indirect cause because when someone gambles and gets addicted, anxiety also arises because he is gambling with a large amount of money. The money he has given for gambling must have been earned by his hard work. Now if he loses this hard-earned money by gambling, it will definitely put a lot of mental stress on him. Therefore, we can say that gambling is not directly responsible for old age, then indirectly responsible.

Many things could contribute to this, and the origin and lifestyle of the person must be well-studied before the cause is ascertained. Some people, it could be stress, truly, but how are you sure the stress came from what we think? That is just to be sure of this. But by reading further, I could realise that his issue is a lack of money, which he needs to tackle, be it gambling or other things causing it. Once you do not have money or you think too much, or do hard work, there could be inflation, oxidative stress etc, and it gets worse if there is no money to eat quality foods.

Yes, gambling can cause fast ageing if you are losing, as it could lead to anxiety and stress. But if you gamble responsibly and wager la ower amount that can be affordable by you, this reduces the anxiety and stress, so it may not cause aging.

For his appearance to deteriorate so much, I believe your friend was affected by a combination of factors: first, I think he was skimping on food, because he began to look puffy and unfit.
He also seems to be sleeping poorly due to anxiety, which is having a significant impact on his overall well-being.
He also apparently isn't spending his free time on hobbies like reading books, which would calm him down, and instead worries even in his free time.

  I have to say, mostly agree - getting old is a mix of a lot of things, but anxiety really does wear the body down. And it’s not like gambling is the only thing that can trigger it.
Hard work and proper food are the basics, sure. pulling all-nighters in a casino or glued to an online table, running on no sleep and burning out your nerves, will wear you down way faster than just sticking to a steady, boring routine...
So, yeah, my point is - it’s not the gambling itself, it’s the addiction and the money stress around it that really speeds up the aging process.

Gambling for fun isn't only when you're making a profit. But if that's how you look at it, that's good still.

Because if we're up for fun, it's all about how you enjoy each of the bet that you put and there is no regret if we lose it.

From the very beginning, you've accepted that you're going to lose and if you've won, that's only a bonus because your aim is to have fun although winning is part of it as well.

As long as we enjoy gambling and the bets we place, something that makes us happy, it won't affect the aging process; in fact, it will make us look younger. Conversely, if gambling makes us feel stressed, anxious, or worse, depressed, it can accelerate the aging process.

However, regardless of the gambling activity, what accelerates the aging process is not whether someone gambles or not, but rather their mental, mental, and psychological state. And even if someone enjoys gambling but is mentally, mentally, and psychologically healthy, this will not accelerate the aging process.

Smiling causing wrinkles is an outrageous claim, I've never had of such claim before and I will have to carry out a small research on it to ascertain if it's true or not, but how can smiling cause wrinkles when we are told that being happy always prolongs our lifespan, that is, makes us live longer, how come smiling now cause wrinkles? Or is there a way to be happy without smiling? 😄

It is absolutely incredible what people believe out there, personally, I believe that smiling shouldnt be something that causes us to age, I don't believe this but still, I will have to research first and find out what is true and what is false..
But again, we must all agree that in all, stress is one of the major reasons why most age quickly, most especially growing white hair in early, mid or late 30s.

I did not make up that :D Google "smile causes wrinkles". Some people really take that very serious. I even recall now how one of my teachers told one girl to stop smiling all the time, because in old age she will look like raisin :D

AI says following:

"How Smiling Contributes to Wrinkles
Repetitive Movement: When you smile, your facial muscles contract and cause creases in the skin.
Skin Aging: Over time, the skin's ability to bounce back to its original shape diminishes as it produces less collagen and elastin."

Those point look true. But for me, stress, working hard, maybe smoking and diet causes us to look older. Not sure if sleep has an impact, but seems yes, as sleepy and well slept person look totally different. But gambling... Surely not in solo.

When someone is under constant stress, it can leave them feeling physically and mentally exhausted, lowering their immune system, and making them look less than fresh and aging quickly. It's no wonder your friend looks unhealthy and aging, as he's constantly involved in irresponsible gambling activities, which not only drain his finances but also constantly put pressure on his psychological well-being. If only he could gamble more responsibly and manage his gambling activities, perhaps he could be healthier and fitter.

Having an intention to have fun in gambling will not make us forget about limitations. We will be strict with ourselves because gambling can tempt us and make us keep playing. Well, that will be dangerous to us because the loss will be bigger and we will regret it.

Stress will come and that can change our personality and health. If someone stresses, that can affect their inner and also their body. We may see him getting older than his age and that happens to some people, although that is not because they are playing gambling. We should take care of ourselves in gambling because that is the important thing we can do if we still want to gamble.

Absolutely right, and that's why we need to approach gambling very simply and without unnecessary anxiety. It turns out that even nature itself encourages us not to worry about gambling, otherwise it shows on our faces. We simply need to start by viewing gambling as a light hobby or a stress reliever in our free time. And visit online casinos sparingly. Everything is good only in moderation, so gambling can be compared to alcohol, which in small doses is even beneficial.

I think the same, our body can age but our mind and tastes don't, we will always stay active with that, also keeping our mind and tastes active is what makes us live happily , I think that in a few years there will be medicines to delay aging, so that is not something that worries me too much, now what matters most is to play very carefully, take care of our money and learn a lot.

If we start from the fact that aging is the biggest Disease and that we can fight it, the fight is another, because we will look for everything Necessary to grow old , currently there are many things that help with this, the important thing is that our brain is 100% Understanding and of all the main Functions , that is why we must be conscious People that we have everything in our hands to be very Intelligent and know how to play , Depend on the game to live is not an Option, it is only a Dangerous option.

I agree with you that there will be wins and losses in our life but it is true that it is better not to be interested in things where your end result will not be good. The system of gambling is designed in such a way that most of the time you will make a profit or a loss but you will not be able to predict it because by then you will become addicted to gambling. Now if you have control over yourself then you will definitely not become addicted but in most cases it is seen that people fall prey to greed and start playing recklessly. Initially it is fun but at the end of the day it will become an addiction and you will keep feeling mental stress which will later affect your body as well.

The feedback is that gambling doesn’t directly cause wrinkles or gray hair,its the stress, poor lifestyle habits, and mental health effects linked to it that can make someone age faster,both inside and out.Factors like Debt and financial pressure increase psychological stress, which affects both mental and physical health potentially aging the brain and body faster than expected.

Old age cannot be cured, and we don't need to; the wise man submits to the inevitable, as the Japanese proverb goes. But the main thing is to avoid accelerating aging: stress, smoking, alcohol, and, of course, excessive anxiety lead to this.
And I don't know of a single hobby that, like gambling or betting, could so dramatically change a person's appearance if it's uncontrolled. Well, that's why we need to approach not only gambling, but any activity or life situation, with a moderate attitude.

Hmm, I kind of do think gambling can make someone age faster, especially when it is done without control. The stress alone is enough to weigh someone down, imagine constantly worrying about losses, debts, and trying to win it all back. That kind of pressure does not just stay in your head, it shows on your face and body too. There are people who looked fresh and full of life, but a few years of reckless gambling changed everything, tired eyes, and even health issues from the constant stress and lack of proper rest always thinking..
But I also feel it depends on how person handles it. If for instant you are the type that gambles responsibly, sets limits, and only plays for fun without expecting to get rich from it, then it is less likely to drain you. In fact, some responsible gamblers still look sharp and enjoy the whole process without letting it eat them up…

Indeed our mental state of mind has a way of influencing our physical look, thereby causing aging........Meaning that a gambler who is suffering from depression as a result of excessive loss of money , he/she can begin looking older than most of their peers....... That is why it is always and always better, infact wiser that one practice disciplined and then gambles with what they can afford to lose, so that when my loss is incurr ones state of mind wouldn't be uneased and restless thereby affecting their looks.

And doing so much could lead to addiction.

So, the effects and end results that we'll have depending on how it's us for is designed by the game itself and how it's being processed by our minds.

If we're not going to check on ourselves when we're on that moment, we're going to bring that problem to us. And by which is going to occur based on how we take it shall reflect to our physical aspect.

Having no regrets when losing is also a responsible behavior in gambling. Furthermore, not regretting past losses won't bring them back. If you want to regret, it's probably more about excessive gambling behavior, which makes more sense.

If you really want to gamble, you should be prepared to lose. Winning, as you say, can be considered a bonus, because not everyone wins, and after that, it's up to each individual.

Believe me, work is already being done on old age Don't be surprised if humanity starts to last longer, that is, we will be more lenient, everything comes from food and one thing I have to say is that in the world we are Killed through food, however, stress , pressure and all this Helps things to speed up and if we go to the gambling level , even more so , that is why we must be Careful with our money and our way of playing in the casino.

It is natural to lose in gambling. But you have to keep the mentality of losing. Many people panic when they lose. As you said. As a result, they become more emotional and take more risky bets. This is never right. You have to keep yourself calm all the time and it is not right to make decisions emotionally. If you gamble responsibly, you can avoid facing many types of financial losses. As a result, you do not have any kind of mental and physical problems. Because if you suffer losses while gambling, you will get depressed and later many people become mentally ill. Many such things are found in the people we know around us.

And the thing is that nobody likes to lose, it has been proven that losing can lower your morale, self-esteem and many things, but when we are in the casino it is normal to lose, what is not normal is to lose everything we have, that becomes a stupidity that later on becomes an addiction , so those points that are as important as knowing how to manage our money for me are the most important and that is what a gambler should focus on even before playing.

No one likes to lose but losing is part of the game, it's inevitable and there are no ways around it. I think it is a wrong mentality to allow losing affect your self esteem and make you feel depressed because if you have accepted the fact that gambling is a winning and losing game all these things shouldnt really affect your mood. People who get depressed after losing are probably gambling irresponsibly

Naturally it is like that, when people play they must lose or win, but when you lose, or at least when I was a beginner this happened to me, it was very difficult for it not to happen, we are human and we feel, but with experience one already knows that this is normal, what is not normal is to lose a lot and without control, the maturation stage is like that, and after that it is something that goes into the levels of normality.

He looked younger than his age and was very fit, and that is because of the exercise and the healthy lifestyle he had before he got addicted. He took time to achieve mental peace, exercised in his free time, and ate quality food, which maintained his health. However, now that he is addicted to gambling, his mental peace is gone, and I am sure he is not engaging in any kind of exercise.

So yes, addiction can make a person's appearance worse than we can imagine. You will always think about betting more than your own health, most of your time will be consumed by gambling, and if you follow such a routine for a long time, then obviously your physical appearance will change.

The truth is that with him being gambling addict, there was no time for him to keep fit again, why waste time training your body when you can be gambling right?? It's really sad that things like this are happening, people missed you fundamental if the want to gamble, self-control; gambling shouldn't take that away from you, the moment you as a gambler loses yourself to the gambling habit then you are gone, it will take a tremendous amount of salt sacrifice to pull yourself out of it and that's usually impossible, maybe if someone else decides to help then you might be able to actually pull it off.

You cannot expect him to look boyish forever, people that looks far younger than their age , if engaged in a little prolonged stress will instantly gets older in appearance than what you think they would have being, gambling might also be a  contributory factor, but not solely responsible for his fast ageing, you should also remember that age has to tell when someone is aging because the system is getting weaker,as a youth then he will be having less responsibilities compared to now that he is aging which can easily make him get addicted.

Being a responsible gambler or not has nothing to do with ageing, ageing is a natural phenomenon which happens to any one even excessive enjoyment can also causes ageing .

I don't think anyone will want to admit if gambling is getting them look more older than their age, even if that is the actual scenario being made applicable to them.

What can cause aging process to go more faster than expected in gambling  are these.

1. Depression (after huge loss experience)
2. Addiction (from irresponsible gambling)
3. What we eat, this also talks about good personal hiegiene.

I would like to add that in addition to what you said, addicts can have also whole bunch of bad habits like lack of sleep, not doing enough physical activity, unhealthy diet and much more. All these things contribute to unhealthy lifestyle which leads to premature aging.

I agree, gambling itself doesn't really affect anyone's ageing process it is the effect of gambling that affects them especially when one is addicted to it. From the third point you made it can be connected to gambling addiction, when a gambler gets overly addicted he or she might not be able to afford the necessary things to keep up personal hygiene, some might not even be able to afford a three square meal

Some of these side effects see  today were as a result of overtime accusations, for anyone that gambles the proper way without getting himself into trouble, he will enjoy it all as fun to do more and more, because gambling is not the challenge here, but the way most of the affected ones admitted in doing it, if we don't take care of ourselves, who will?
