Meet the man who reversed time at 59.

No Botox. No brutal workouts.

Just a minimalist routine that keeps him looking 30.

Here’s exactly how Chuando Tan defies aging—step by step: 🧵
1. Chuando Tan went viral after people discovered his real age: 59.

Most assumed he was in his 30s.

But his secret isn’t what you think.

It’s not genetics or surgery…

It’s this simple 4-part daily routine 👇
2. Tan’s anti-aging formula?
→ 70% diet
→ 30% exercise

“I don’t think I look young. Maybe I just look like a healthy 59.”

No magic pills. Just smart habits stacked daily.

Here’s the full breakdown:
3. Diet
Breakfast is high-protein, low-junk:

• 6 poached eggs (only 2 yolks)
• Oatmeal w/ milk, honey, avocado, chia seeds
• Or protein shake

His focus?
Fuel the body. Protect the skin. Stay full, not inflamed.
4. Lunch & dinner are clean, light, and nutrient-rich:

• Grilled chicken or fish
• Steamed veggies, rice, bone broth
• Fresh leafy salads w/ olive oil or avocado

He avoids:
• Caffeine
• Alcohol
• Smoking
• Refined sugar
• Processed foods
5. Training
No crazy gym marathons. Just smart strength work:

• Light weights, high reps
• Compound moves (squats, pushups, deadlifts)
• Core (planks, leg raises)
• Brisk incline walks
• Swimming 1 hr daily

Keep it simple. Keep it consistent.
6. Skincare
2 products only:
→ Gentle gel cleanser
→ Moisturizer

That’s it. No 12-step routine.

He lets the skin breathe, stays hydrated, and gets daily sunlight for natural vitamin D.

Plus, 1 supplement: Vitamin C.
7. Community
Tan prioritizes relationships.

He surrounds himself with joy, laughter, and meaningful connection.

Because one of the most underrated anti-aging secrets is this:

→ Stay connected. Stay human.
8. Yes, genetics help.

But that’s just 1 piece of the puzzle.

Tan’s real advantage?
Daily simplicity done well.

Clean food. Consistent movement. Inner peace.

You don’t need perfect genes to age like him.

You just need the habits. Image
Final Takeaway:
Chuando Tan is proof:
You don’t have to punish your body to stay young.

Minimalism, done right, beats extremes.

→ Fuel smart
→ Move smart
→ Connect deeply

Start today. Age with intention.

Castor oil might be the most overlooked natural remedy on Earth.

It detoxes your liver, eases pain, clears skin, and regrows hair.

Here’s why more people are calling it nature’s secret weapon 🧵
1. Castor oil is ancient—but it’s making a powerful comeback.

It supports detox, reduces inflammation, and accelerates skin and hair healing.

Yet most people ignore it.

Let’s fix that.
2. Castor oil is like nature’s Botox.

Applied topically, it helps:

• Smooth wrinkles
• Clear acne
• Reduce puffiness
• Hydrate dry skin

Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties repair from the outside in.

Your grandfather had 25% more testosterone than you do.

Not because he was stronger.
Not because he trained harder.
But because the modern world is draining your T.

Here’s how Japan quietly cracked the code—and what they eat to fix it: 🧵
1. Testosterone is crashing.

Modern men have 25% less T than men just two decades ago.

And the drop isn’t slowing down—it’s accelerating.

The scary part?
This affects all age groups, even teens.
2. The numbers don’t lie.

A major study found:
• 1987: 60-year-olds averaged 501 ng/dL
• 2002: same age, just 391 ng/dL

That’s a 22% drop in 15 years.

And the trend continues today.

You’ve been lied to about what’s “healthy.”

The foods you’ve been told to fear…
Are actually the ones that rebuild hormones, energy, and metabolism, especially after 40.

Here are 9 foods I do recommend.

Thread 🧵
1. Eggs

Eggs are a metabolic powerhouse.
Especially the yolk.

• Fuel hormones via cholesterol + vitamin D
• Boost liver function (choline)
• Help with fat loss + satiety

I eat 3–5 every single day.
2. Salt

Not table salt.
Sea salt or pink Himalayan.

Why?

• Supports adrenal health
• Regulates fluids + blood pressure
• Boosts energy + nerve function

Low salt = fatigue, cravings, headaches.

Most people are doing everything to lose fat.

But their biology is working against them.

Here are 9 underrated ways to reprogram your body for fat loss, energy, and peak performance: 🧵
1. Rewire your brain’s control system

Your brain runs on 2 key messengers:
GABA (the brake) & Glutamate (the gas).

When balanced, they improve mood, sleep, and focus.

When imbalanced, they lead to anxiety, brain fog, and poor energy.
2. Restore the GABA/Glutamate balance

You can optimize this system by:
• Reducing blue light at night
• Using magnesium, NAC, L-theanine, lemon balm
• Avoiding excess caffeine, nicotine, grains, and artificial sweeteners

Balance the brain, and the body follows.

"Cholesterol is bad" is one of the biggest medical myths.

The truth?

Your body depends on cholesterol to survive — and too little of it might be far more dangerous than too much.

Let’s break down the real science behind cholesterol 🧵
1. Cholesterol isn’t the villain.

Your body needs it to function.
Too little cholesterol can lead to:

• Cancer risk
• Hormone imbalances
• Impaired brain function
• Higher chance of early death

So why are we so afraid of it?
2. Cholesterol is the backbone of your hormones.

It’s a key building block for:

• Estrogen
• Testosterone
• Cortisol
• Progesterone

Without enough of it, you may face:

• Mood swings
• Fatigue
• Poor metabolism

There’s one supplement I recommend to every man.

- It builds muscle.
- Sharpens your brain.
- Boosts testosterone.
- Costs ~$20.

And yet—most men still skip it.

Here’s why creatine is the most underrated tool in men’s health 🧵
1. What is creatine (& why you likely don’t get enough)?

Creatine is made in your body & found in red meat.

But most men only fill 60–80% of their muscles’ creatine stores.

That means:
→ Slower recovery
→ Lower strength
→ Less lean muscle gain

Top it off = better results.
2. The benefits of daily creatine use

With over 100 peer-reviewed studies, creatine is one of the most researched supplements on earth.

It helps:
✅ Muscle growth
✅ Strength (5–15%)
✅ Cellular hydration
✅ Brain power
✅ Recovery
✅ Healthy aging
