It's also possible to age at the same rate as your son, yet, relatively speaking, be younger if you spend enough time at very high speeds.

Which makes no sense at all.
Moving quickly is something that things do all the time.
Cheetah's, for instance, move far faster than Humans. Race car drivers tend to move through their lives quickly.
However, moving quickly tends to wear down the body more. In the instance of a Cheetah they can only do it for a short period of time, due to overheating and exhaustion.
In the case of race car drivers their actual bodies wear down due to the forces being shoved on them.

Thus, how can moving at the speed of light(Or close to it) cause some manner of anti-aging? The only thing I can think of is that it doesn't.

The clock itself doesn't go not due to a slow down in time, but rather due to the reactions required to move the clock becoming "compressed" by the extreme speed, thus making it so that they can not move as quickly as before. IE, it doesn't actually slow down time, but merely gives the illusion of a temporal alteration.

I like pie.
