A 35-year-old man has revealed his anti-aging secrets after being told by strangers they think he looks like a teenager — stay out of the sun and avoid alcohol.
Brandon Miles May wears sunscreen daily, covers up his skin when he goes outside and has never touched a drop of alcohol in his life.
He also eats a diet of fresh fruit, plant-based food and fish, which he says helps him feel just as young as he did 10 years ago.

He said: “I attribute not drinking to my youthful appearance. Really embodying the feeling of youth. I think it has helped. I think and see myself as young.
“I’ve been staying out of sunlight my whole life. I wear a hoodie to block the sun and use physical coverings on the backs of my hands.”
Brandon has been looking after his skin since he was just 13 and made an effort to maintain his healthy lifestyle.

Brandon, a social media content creator, from Detroit, Michigan, USA, said: “When I go to the airport security ask me who old I am. They do a double take.
“The age people think I am ranges but it can be 15 or 16 or 18 to 19.
“I’ve never had any work done. What I do is pretty simple but effective.”

Brandon, who also owns a medical communications business, has always had a taste for healthy food.
At 15, he started making some dietary changes such as incorporating green tea and more plant based foods.
And at 19 he cut out sugars, grains and carbohydrates and now eats a diet of organic food and lots of low mercury fish.
He added: “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.”
Brandon also feels it is important to exercise but doesn’t do anything to “heavy” to avoid straining his body.
He said: “I don’t go heavy on exercise. Too much exercise can cause stress on the body – it can age the body.

“I keep my exercise moderate and gentle — a walk, yoga, and some strength training.”
Brandon says “invests” time into himself but insists his lifestyle isn’t about living forever – but maintaining his health for as long as possible.
He added: “I want to feel good. Feeling young is part of looking young. Living forever isn’t a priority. It’s about maintaining my health.

“I think I look better than I did ten years ago. I feel physically and emotionally young. I think the body follows the mind.”
Brandon said strangers think his lifestyle must be “exhausting” but he says it is simple to follow. And he will still eat treats such as chocolate.
