hi everybody. I'm Newbie. I'm studying english. English is my foreign language.

take years off (someone or something): to make someone seem or look younger.
(http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com)

(A) can take years off your life.
This sentence means it(A) is actually making your life shorter. Right?
(A) is normally bad things? like... Smoking, Drinking, Stress, Depression...

But...
Love can take years off your life.
Here's "take years off" means... Love can help you look younger, Right?
Is it a bad sentence?

I'm very confused.

Thanks in advance.
