I look like a teenager but I am very old – my secret of eternal youth
A 35-year-old man who looks like a teenager has revealed his secrets to eternal youth, including the key foods he’s completely cut out for.
Brandon Miles May is often thought of as a schoolboy, but he is actually much older than he looks.
She describes herself as «enthusiastic about aging», and in a recent TikTok video, she shared seven important things she does to maintain her youth.
Living Without the Sun
Brandon says he has spent his entire life avoiding sunlight.
He said: «The sun contributes to up to 90% of the visible signs of aging».
No alcohol
Brandon revealed that he has never had a single drop of alcohol in his life.
«I decided at the age of 13 that I would never drink alcohol,» he said.
He said he doesn’t judge a drinker, but decided not to drink it himself because of the damage it causes to the skin, hair and brain.
No Smoking
Brandon said he doesn’t smoke because smoking destroys the anti-oxidants that protect your skin from «external damage» such as UV and environmental pollutants.
Sleep
The anti-aging whiz said he gets eight or nine hours of sleep every night.
«I think it is very important, because sleep is when the regeneration process takes place», he said.
The TikToker added that sleep also «raises your melatonin» which you «need so much for anti-aging».
No Sugar
Brandon revealed that he has completely eliminated sugar from his diet.
«Sugar ages the skin a lot», he said.
Adequate Exercise
Brandon said he doesn’t do «heavy training» but works out moderately, to make sure he builds and maintains muscle.
She explained that this is important for balancing your hormones.
