Chuando Tan, a 57-year-old Singaporean photographer, has achieved international reputation for his startling portraits and self-portraits that defy his true age.

Chuando Tan’s rise to stardom began with a successful modeling career in the 1980s and a brief stint as a pop singer in the 1990s. In order to improve his social media profile, he set up an Instagram account and began posting self-portraits and captioning his ideas.

Tan’s remarkably youthful appearance at the age of 57 quickly caught the attention of users, leading to widespread speculation about the factors contributing to his age-defying looks. Theories ranged from genetics and Singapore’s environment to healthcare and specific products. In this article, we delve into his daily routine to uncover the truth behind these theories.

Tan strongly believes in the impact of diet on overall well-being and appearance, attributing 70% of the equation to food choices. He prioritizes a breakfast consisting of six hard-boiled eggs, removing two yolks for cholesterol reasons. Alongside a glass of milk, he occasionally includes avocado and berries to add a protein-packed energy boost.

His daily meals revolve around chicken with rice, grilled vegetables, and fish soup. Despite having a weakness for ice cream, he limits consumption to the first half of the day. Tan consciously avoids coffee and tea, preferring to stay hydrated by consuming ample water.

Incorporating strength training into his schedule, Tan aims for four sessions per week, but adjusts to a minimum of three during busy periods. He dedicates approximately 30 minutes to this activity. Following strength training, he complements it with cardio training, opting for brisk walking on a treadmill instead of jogging due to a knee injury. Additionally, he places great importance on swimming and spends around an hour each day at an evening swimming pool.

Addressing rumors of plastic surgery or unique cosmetics, Tan clarifies his approach, stating that he only uses a gel face wash and moisturizing cream due to his sensitive skin. Dissatisfied with a Botox procedure he received as a gift, he decided not to pursue further cosmetic treatments. However, he does admit to using hair dye to manage his gray hair.

Tan underscores the significance of maintaining a regular sleep routine, prioritizing bedtime before 11 PM and waking up early. He firmly believes that late-night work or watching movies hinders good health. Additionally, he avoids eating 5-6 hours before bedtime to ensure restful sleep.

He recognizes that, deep down, he knows he is not as young as he appears and that he is indeed aging. He refuses to give a false impression of eternal youth, understanding that aging is inevitable.
