What are the best ways to slow aging and to look as young as possible?

1. Get lean. If you’re above 20% body fat as a guy and above 25% bod fat as a gal, you’ll look a lot older. So drop the blubber.
2. Build muscle. Muscle not only makes you look younger, it will make you a lot healthier. Muscle can slow aging and preserve a lot of strength and coordination in old age.
3. Do your cardio. A healthy heart and a big “gas tank” have many benefits. I like burpees and martial arts. Pick something that gets your heart rate up and do it regularly.
4. Stay natty and don’t hop on high doses of steroids. Without getting too much into detail, steroids will accelerate the aging process by upregulating IGF-1. This is a hormone that makes tissue grow. But tissue isn’t just only muscle…Cancer cells grow also from being exposed to IGF-1.
5. Watch your diet. Eat clean 90% of the time. Veggies. Lean protein. Starchy carbs. Healthy fats that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
6. Eat less meat and more plants. Meat, particularly red meat, has shown to produce TMAO when cooked. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), is then processed in your live when eating red meat and may lead to cardiovascular disease as well as cancer.
7. Fast. Fasting has shown to regulate hunger and have a ton of different health benefits, such as cell regeneration.
8. Get cold. Cold exposure has shown to activate longevity genes, increase blood flow and reduce inflammation. So, cold showers, exercising in the cold and ice baths are on the menu.
9. Sweat your balls off. Saunas, followed by cold showers have shown to reduce all cause mortality in many studies.
10. No smoking. Obviously.
11. Don’t microwave your food in plastic containers. Cancer cell builder No. 1. Avoid at all cost.
12. Don’t get black out drunk and/or high regularly. Flooding your brain and body with drugs and alcohol, is neuro- and cell toxic, leading to all kinds of ageing processes.
13. Less sugar. To much sugar can lead to ageing process and makes it hard to stay lean. Not because carbs make you fat, but because they make you incredibly hungry AFTER eating them, so you end up overeating regularly.
14. Regulate stress and look after your mental health. Learn to calm your mind by taking deep breaths. The 4–7–8 method works wonders for me. Breathe out fully, then breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds and then breathe out with a “whoosh” sounds for 8 seconds. Repeat three times. Works wonders whenever I’m stressed out, feel overwhelmed or unfocused.
15. Keep your brain engaged, active and stay sharp as a tack. Read. Learn languages. Improve your memory. Stop googling everything and don’t rely online personas to make decisions and think for you.
16. Tailor your nutrition to your genetics. Won’t get into all the details, but this is critical. Want to know why you digest certain foods better than others? Why do some foods give you nasty farts and stomach aches? Why do you get headaches? It might be, that you can’t stomach (pun intended) some foods, because your genetic makeup doesn’t conform with the food item.
