Ha! I KNEW it!

From today's RealAge.com...

All About YOU: It's Okay to Cry

Don't hold back the tears. According to the RealAge doctors, a good cry now and then may do a body good. Just as sweat removes salt, urine removes waste, and mucus traps bacteria, tears also serve a purpose. Emotional tears -- shed in moments of intense feeling -- carry stress hormones and are a way of getting rid of them. Even if crying embarrasses you, it signals that you've reached a level of stress that's detrimental to your health. So let it out.

RealAge Benefit: Taking care of your emotional health and well-being can make your RealAge up to 16 years younger.

...except all the weeping makes for puffy eyes, which isn't a good look, either...at any age.
