At 57, Chuando Tan looks barely 21: He banned 5 foods from his diet to maintain his youthful appearance

His secret weapon: an ultra-thoughtful diet

For Chuando,  youth begins on the plate . Here are the foods  he carefully avoids , and those that make up his daily meals.

Foods he avoids at all costs

• Sugar
  Apart from one vanilla ice cream a month, it eliminates refined sugar,  an enemy of the skin  which accelerates aging by altering collagen.
• Beverages other than water
  No soda, not even juice. He drinks  almost exclusively water , with a light cappuccino  only when traveling.
• Excess oil and salt
  He  rinses his dishes with hot water  to remove sauces or excess salt,  favors gentle cooking, steaming or grilling.
• Alcohol
  He doesn’t consume  a single drop . According to him, alcohol  dries out the skin ,  slows digestion  and  promotes cellular aging.
• Late Meals
  He observes a  7-hour fast before bed , a form of intermittent fasting that is beneficial for  metabolism and recovery.
