Edson Brandao, a 50s Brazilian, Maintains Youthful Appearance with Self-Care Routine
The young man in the photo is Edson Brandao, a Brazilian writer and digital marketer. He is 57 years old this year. Although he is approaching his 60s, his appearance and physical condition are comparable to those of a man in his 20s.
Foreign media outlets such as the British publication The Sun have focused on Brandao's secret to looking young. Born in 1967, Brandao said, "Both on social media and in real life, people mistake me for being 27, which is 30 years younger than my actual age," adding, "Especially at airports, there have been awkward situations because people don’t believe the birthdate recorded on my passport."
He began taking an interest in health 17 years ago. At the time, Brandao was entering his 40s and made efforts to maintain his own 'routine' of healthy and balanced eating, a positive mindset, exercise, and skincare. His routine includes △hydration △protein intake △regular exercise △sun protection △adequate sleep △stress management △social interaction.
Surprisingly, it is reported that he has not undergone any surgeries aside from the routine mentioned above. Brandao said, "People ask if I have had plastic surgery or Botox, but I have never had any related procedures," adding, "Many people don’t believe my real age."
However, Brandao also revealed that not obsessing excessively over health management is part of his secret. He emphasized, "I have been interested in fitness and health for a long time, but when I became too obsessed with it, my emotional ups and downs worsened," and "Around my 40s, I realized the importance of mental health."
He added, "Now, I feel full of energy and don’t feel old at all," and "It feels like I have returned to my 30s."
