The search for longevity and eternal youth has fascinated humanity for centuries. Contemporary methods include both natural ways and extreme techniques. Bryan Johnson spends millions of dollars on anti-aging procedures, including blood infusions from his son. In contrast to these extravagant methods, Brandon Miles May, a 35-year-old medical copywriter from Detroit, presents his simple and effective ways to maintain a youthful appearance, which can inspire anyone.
How to look younger at 35? Brandon reveals his secrets
Brandon says his secret is simple: avoiding alcohol, sun protection, and a positive attitude. “When I go to the airport, security asks me about my age and they can't believe I'm 35 years old. I look like I'm 15, 16, or at most 19,” says Brandon, quoted by the British agency SWNS.
One of the key elements Brandon points out is his diet, which mainly consists of plants, fish, and fruit. Since he turned 19, he has given up sugars, grains, and carbohydrates and instead chooses low-mercury fish and organic food. “At 13, I started being interested in longevity and anti-aging. Even then, I was aware of the importance of nutrition and maintaining a young body,” he recalls.
From a young age, Brandon has avoided alcohol and sunlight. “Avoiding alcohol is one of the reasons for my youthful appearance,” he explains. The 35-year-old always avoids the sun, uses sunscreen, wears a hat or a visor, and wears protective covers on his hands. “I have always avoided the sun. I wear a hat to block the sun's rays and use covers on the backs of my hands,” he explains.
"It's not about living forever, but maintaining health"
Contrary to popular belief, Brandon avoids intense exercise. “I don't exercise intensely. Too much exercise can cause stress in the body and accelerate aging. I exercise moderately: walking, yoga, and strength training,” he says.
Brandon believes that his youthful appearance is also a result of his youthful approach to life. “Feeling young is part of looking young. It's not about living forever, but about maintaining health,” he argues. He also emphasizes that he looks better than 10 years ago and feels physically and emotionally young.
Despite his rigorous lifestyle, Brandon doesn't give up on small pleasures. Every day, he enjoys dark chocolate with 92-100% cocoa. He allows himself more during outings to the city as well. “I am quite flexible. If I go out to dinner, I'll have some bread with olive oil,” the 35-year-old concludes.
