The man who defies aging

Chuando Tan is a 58-year-old man from Singapore who looks like he's in his 20s or 30s

Here's a breakdown of his diet, exercise, and other routines⬇️⬇️
Image
Image
Chuando was born in 1966

He's been a model for decades and also does photography

He recently became popular on social media due to his youthful appearance despite being 58 Image
First, he obviously looks older than he did in his 20s but you could still easily confuse him for someone in his 20s or 30s

Second, clearly good genetics

Third, while we can't exclude the possibility of some treatments, he looks normal imo but I'm not an expert on that
Chuando has been following a very healthy and fit lifestyle all his life

He exercises 3-5 times a week for about 90 minutes each. Mostly weights, swimming, speed walking.

Gear? Probably although he weighs only 175 pounds
It would mess up his baby face tho Image
What's his diet?

A higher protein traditional fitness diet

His breakfast is 4 whole eggs and 2 egg whites, avocado

Other foods: chicken, fish, rice, vegetables, water

No smoking, alcohol, coffee, or tea

Sometimes he indulges on ice cream Image
He says he doesn't have skincare nor does he take supplements

It's funny how he looks younger than everyone else putting in significantly more effort

He certainly has the genetic card playing for him, but he also has a pretty fit lifestyle Image

Magnesium is the one supplement almost all doctors and longevity experts recommend

Why? Because it's the master mineral involved in hundreds of processes

And about 50% of people don't meet the recommended daily intake

Here's all you need to know about magnesium⬇️⬇️
Magnesium is the master mineral that's needed for countless essential processes in the body

- energy (ATP) production
- DNA repair
- neurotransmitters
- glucose regulation
- electrolyte balance
- heart function
- endothelial function
- blood pressure

And much more⬇️⬇️ Image
Magnesium deficiency leads to intracellular sodium and calcium accumulation

This promotes arterial vasospasms, blood vessel constriction, hypertension, and hypercoagulability

Coronary vasospasms are thought to be one of the causes of sudden cardiac death Image

The most jacked out of your mind 70-year old Polish man Wojciech Węcławowicz

He transformed his body in his 60s to a physique that puts most 20-year-olds to shame

Probably with the help of TRT but goes to show what's possible in your 70s⬇️⬇️ Image
Wojciech isn't just about looks - he also maintains an impressive level of athleticism

He competed in the Polish Ninja Warrior

And won the silver medal in Pentathlon at the Masters World Championships in 2019
Also, an impressive vertical jump

Which is impressive given the fact that explosiveness and quickness are the biggest things to go with age

Exercise is known to be good for us, but how much exercise and is there something like too much exercise?

Exercise is often seen to have a J-shaped curve with mortality risk - not enough is bad but too much is also harmful (PMID: 32848273)

How much is optimal then?⬇️⬇️ Image
The guidelines recommend adults get 150-300 min/week of moderate exercise or 75-150 min/week of vigorous exercise

Meeting that vs not is linked to a 36% lower odds of being overweight and 48% lower odds of being obese (PMID: 37773071)

However, exercising more than that is linked to a reduced risk of mortality
A 2022 study saw the lowest risk of mortality at 150-300 min/week of leisurely vigorous physical activity, 300-600 min/week of leisurely moderate physical activity, or a combination of both (PMID: 35876019) Image

Two markers everyone should test at least once in their life:

1. APOE gene - biggest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's

2. Lp(a) - strongest genetically determined atherogenic lipoprotein in heart disease

⬇️⬇️ Image
The APOEε4 gene allele is the biggest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease

APOEε4/ε4 is considered the highest risk, ε2/ε3 the lowest, and ε3/ε3 intermediate risk
People with the APOEε2/ε2 genotype have been seen to have a 66% lower odds ratio of Alzheimer’s compared to those with the APOEε2/ε3 genotype, 87% lower than those with APOEε3/ε3, and 99.6% lower than those with APOEε4/ε4

Richard Morgana is a 93-year-old Irishman who’s a 4-time world champion in indoor rowing

He’s got the VO2 max of a 40-year-old and trains for 30 kilometers per week

Here's how his training and diet routine look like⬇️⬇️: Image
They did a study on Richard and found something amazing

His maximum heart rate was found to be 153 beats/min, whereas for someone his age it would normally be only 128

Image
He rows for up to 30 kilometers per week with 70% of that being spent in low intensity what’s called zone 2, 20% in moderate intensity, and only 10% at near maximum intensity

In addition to that, he lifts weights twice a week taken close to failure
