This is Chuando Tan.
He is 58 years old and looks like he's in his late 20's or early 30's.
Here are his secrets to looking half his age:
DIET
He eats a high protein low carb diet.
Daily meals include Hainanese chicken, fish, rice, eggs & legumes.
He also prioritizes water intake & limits sugar, preferring to consume it during the daytime if necessary.
He attributes 70% of his youthful appearance to his diet.
WORKOUTS
He trains with weights 3-5x per week with up to 1.5 hours each session.
3x a week he does low-intensity cardio (running exercises with weight training & the occasional yoga session.
SKINCARE & LIFESTYLE
For his skin he uses only gel face wash & moisturizer.
When he goes outside he wears a hat/sunglasses outdoors for protection. He lives in Asia, where staying away from the sun is encouraged.
He prioritizes 8+ hours of sleep & avoids food 5-6 hours before sleep for optimal rest.
He did a Botox treatment once but didn't like the effect, so he refrains from using it anymore.
He also dyes his hair to get rid of his grays.
MINDSET
Chuando emphasizes the importance of having a positive & optimistic outlook.
He states,
“Mindset plays a crucial role in shaping one’s path”,
He suggests that cultivating optimism & embracing new challenges can mitigate the effect of aging & enhance quality of life.
Even though people revere him for looking young, he acknowledges that he doesn't feel it.
"As much as I don't think I look that young I could be a person who looked like a healthy version of someone or my age.
Every time when people ask that question I will shy away maybe because deep down inside I know
I'm already 56 and I'm aging as like everyone else"
Personal Notes:
As much as Chuando looks young, people don't know what's happening with his actual health.
I'm glad he's upfront about not confusing his appearance with delaying the aging process.
He also has great genetics and it's possible he's used some form of hormonal therapy for his physique.
Either way, looking the way he does at 57 is impressive.
Thankfully, his advice is not about taking 1000 pills or doing a special diet. It's about the simplicity of good habits and behaviors.

The thing I love about Chuando's advice is that it's simple for most people.
