Brandon Miles May, a 35-year-old man from Detroit, Michigan, is often mistaken for a teenager despite being well past his teenage years.
People are constantly amazed by his youthful looks and can't help but ask him about the secrets behind his ageless appearance.
Brandon explains that he has never had any cosmetic procedures done. Instead, he credits his fresh-faced look to a few simple lifestyle habits.
Avoiding alcohol, staying out of the sun, and maintaining a positive mindset have all played a key role.
"When I go to the airport, security asks me how old I am. They do a double take. The age people think I am ranges from 15 to 19,"
Brandon shared. "I've never had any work done. What I do is pretty simple but effective."
At just 13 years old, Brandon started becoming conscious of longevity and anti-aging.
He reconsidered his diet, cutting out sugars, grains, and carbs, and instead focusing on plant-based foods, fish, and copious amounts of organic produce. He also incorporated green tea into his daily routine.
"At 13 I was already starting to become aware of longevity and anti-aging. I was really into nutrition at that stage and keeping my body young," he explained.
He tries to maintain a youthful mindset and stay active through moderate exercise like walking, yoga, and light strength training.
Furthermore, he avoids intense workouts, as he believes too much exercise can actually accelerate aging.
Despite his strict lifestyle, Brandon still allows himself small indulgences, like having dark chocolate every single day. He's found that balance is key to sustaining his youthful glow.
"Feeling young is part of looking young. Living forever isn't a priority. It's about maintaining my health,"
Brandon said. "I think I look better than I did ten years ago. I feel physically and emotionally young."
A 100-year-old woman named Mariam Todd is working 50 hours per week at her family's furniture store, and she is sharing the secrets to maintaining her health and youthfulness.
Mariam does not rely on miraculous therapies or magical potions but believes that her diet is the key factor in keeping her healthy.
She grows her own vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and squash, and only eats canned food that is purely vegetables and sauerkraut.
She avoids fast food and limits her alcohol intake, which is why she has not had to see a doctor in over 3 years.
Mariam admits that she does not call what she does 'work' because she truly enjoys it.
She draws inspiration from her mother, who passed away while sitting at her office desk. Mariam believes that if this is God's plan for her, she will continue working.
Additionally, Mariam advises younger generations to focus more on saving than spending and to avoid credit cards as they can lead to debt. She says she does not own any credit cards herself.
