Look Younger, Live in Sharm

The more you live in Sharm El Sheikh the younger you will look. This might sound a bit like an ad or a stupid saying, but it was what I discovered myself after living and working for one year in Sharm El Sheikh. The reason why it could be hard to believe my initial statement or at least hard to appreciate its full meaning and the extent of youngness you will look by living there could be easily understood. If that statement was true, then how come we never heard about it before? If it was true, then why all those women spending thousands of dollars on all sorts of medical stuff, surgeries and artificial things to look younger? Well, sometimes there are secrets or let's say less known things that have high value in them but are just not known but to a few. This discovery of mine is one of them.

After a few days of arriving at Sharm to work there, I learnt the actual age of one of my colleagues. I always thought he was actually younger than that. It was surprising to know that with such young looks his age was actually higher. This single incident did not lead me yet to my above mentioned discovery, I never related it yet to him having lived for almost 9 years in Sharm. I thought it was just him that looked younger than his age. Later on, another colleague of mine I also discovered her age, and she did look younger than her real age! Still, I did not see the connection between those two cases and that it was due to their being in Sharm El Sheikh. It was not till later on after spending a couple of months in Sharm El Sheikh that the reality downed upon me after a number of other cases that I've seen one after the other pointing to such a discovery.

I started discovering that other people also, working with me in Sahrm, looked younger than their real ages and most of them have lived in Sharm for years (4 years, 7 years, 9 years maximum). The interesting thing was that when I used to return back to Cairo in my monthly holiday my relatives used to say I looked younger! Oh my, look what just a couple of months spent at Sharm could do! Then I realized the truth about the matter and that living in Sharm does make you look younger. Of course I did not look that much younger in comparison to those who have spent many years there. I remember one of those working with me there he looked really really much younger than his age to an amazing extent. You would never be able to guess his real age. And yes, he has been working in Sharm for years. It was really amazing. I guess that single example was the one that made the matter all down upon me.

Well, at the end, you do not have to take my word for it. I have never read about it nor even those who live in Sharm talk about it, I am not sure if they even realize it! But sure I've discussed it with some of my colleagues there but they did not give it a lot of attention or importance. But seeing how many women all over the world spend money and take medical risks in order to look younger I knew there would be many interested in what I found out during my one-year stay at Sharm El Sheikh.

As for the reason behind this, I do not know it. But perhaps the absence of pollution in Sharm El Sheikh, the excellent weather, the scenery and everything in the environment there is behind this 'anti-aging' phenomenon. Perhaps there could be other deeper reasons too that are beyond me such as for instance the presence of some sort of rays or elements in the environment there with specific amounts that helps the body look younger. This might need some scientists to work on though. Anyway, regardless of the reasons behind this phenomenon I noticed in Sharm, the thing is it does work and the hundreds of people living and working in Sharm are live examples present out there to prove it. All you have to do is remember to have a friendly conversation with a waiter or someone working in Sharm and ask him how long has he been in Sharm and how old he is. You'll be surprised!
