Fifty-three-year-old Edson Brandao is a lifestyle writer and influencer from the Netherlands who has garnered thousands of followers courtesy of his age-defying looks.

"Young After 40"

Brandao published his book "YOUNG AFTER 40: The Definitive Guide to Stay Younger and Healthier" in April. He told the British publication The Daily Mail that he had not undertaken cosmetic surgeries.

The personal trainer from Brazil consistently gets mistaken to be aged in his 20s or 30s.

No Plastic Surgery At All

Being a confident man, according to Brandao, he has more renewed energy than ever before in his life courtesy of his positive perspective, healthy nutrition, exercising every day, and his skincare routine.

He stated that he never had plastic surgery in his life. Instead, he opted for the natural way through biologic food, drinking plenty of water, and fruit and vegetables. He also regularly uses anti-aging creams for his skin and to sustain a youthful appearance, reported Fox News.

He also does not dismiss the probability of his youthful appearance has a correlation with good genes. 

Self-Discipline

The influencer describes his body as a temple. Therefore, he eats his meals in moderation. "I avoid eating sugar, industrialized food, snacks, and fried products. I never drink soft drinks because that is unhealthy. Last but not least, I have never smoked or used drugs in my life," report Oddity Central.

Twenty-five is the regular guess strangers surmise when they pinpoint his age.

Mineral water is vital and he claims to drink two liters of water daily. This is alongside cardio and weight lifting to keep him in the best shape.

Fruit smoothies, cereal with almond milk, and vegan pancakes are his regular breakfast meals.

Secret Weapon

A positive mentality is Brandao's secret weapon to radiate youth. He hopes that by divulging his secrets, he will be able to motivate other people to make essential lifestyle changes in order to have age-defying looks.
