Though he has only been President for 44 days, Obama’s hair is already starting to gray. According to Real Age’s Dr. Roizen, Presidents age two years for each year in office.

I have to imagine that with everything Obama is dealing with – two wars, the tanking economy, and everything else that’s happening – that he’s probably aging more like 4 or 5 years for each year in office at this rate.

How do you slow down the aging process? Obviously, less stress is key. But there are a few other things you can do, too:

1. Eat more antioxidant-rich foods
2. Get more sleep
3. Exercise and do weight-bearing activity to keep bones/muscles strong
4. Laugh more and cultivate a positive attitude
5. Take time to do seasonal cleanses
