Almost 60 But Still Youthful! Brazilian Man Shares Secrets to Looking Young Without Surgery
Edson Brandao, a 59-year-old Brazilian, has become an online sensation for his incredibly youthful appearance, which many mistakenly believe is the result of cosmetic procedures. In reality, he has never undergone any beauty treatments, relying instead on consistency and discipline.
Brandao explained that in his younger years, health wasn't a priority. At 40, he realized aging is a cumulative process resulting from daily behaviors. For the past 18 years, he has maintained a strict lifestyle, particularly focusing on regular exercise, visiting the gym consistently and combining weight training with cardio.
He recommends avoiding nine specific foods that accelerate aging:
1. White bread
2. High-sugar cereals
3. Fried foods
4. Fast food
5. Processed cheese
6. Desserts
7. Sweet chocolate
8. Sugary soft drinks
9. Highly processed snacks
Instead, he emphasizes consuming natural, seasonal fruits like avocados, papayas, figs, berries, oranges, and dragon fruit. Brandao views food as medicine and discourages relying on supplements to compensate for poor diet.
His unique skincare routine includes rolling frozen cucumber on his face daily to reduce puffiness and maintain skin freshness. He also practices various wellness techniques like sleeping on his back, mouth breathing, dry brushing, and managing stress through gratitude journaling.
