Meet the middle-aged man who looks 30 years younger - despite never having plastic surgery.

Edson Brandao says that his exercise routine, skincare, healthy diet and mental positivity are all to thank for his youthful appearance.

Edson, from Teresina, Piaui, Brazil, was born on the February, 26, 1967 and at the age of 57, he is often mistaken for a 27-year-old.

Edson, an author, influencer and digital marketing business owner, said: "I feel full of energy. I don’t feel old at all. I can't explain it but I feel like I am 30."

For most of his life, Edson always had an interest in fitness and health but was very up and down with his dedication to it.

But when he turned 40, everything changed.

He began to realise the importance of his health and the need to take it seriously.

He was inspired by seeing others on social media thrive with their exercise, nutrition and mental health.

And since then, he has focused on ageing as young as possible for a brighter future.

He has had the same routine for 17 years which he says is responsible for his youthful looks.

Edson goes to the gym everyday where he lifts weights and does 40 minutes of cardio.

His eats healthily and makes sure to have plenty of fruit, vegetables and lots of water.

Edson also has a strict skincare routine which includes anti-aging creams and a clay mask which he uses once a week.

He said: "I do these religiously everyday. Anything is possible no matter your age. You can always change your life for better."

Edson's youthful appearance has meant that many people often mistake him for someone 30 years below his age.

Edson said: "Most people are always in shock when I tell them my age, they never believe me.

"I have had people say I look 23, 25 and 30, but I am 57!"

Once on a trip to Oslo, Norway, Edson said he was turned away from a nightclub as he didn't have identification.

He faced a similar situation at an airport when passport control questioned the validity of his passport as he didn't look his age.

Edson shares tips on how to stay young on his Instagram page @iamedsonbrandao.

Whilst he has many people who enjoy and are inspired by his content, he also admits that he gets quite a lot of hate from people who don't believe he's 57.

Edson said: "They ask if I've had plastic surgery, botox or use filters, but I've never had any surgery.

"I want to find natural ways to look young.

"Some people say I am afraid of being old, but I am not.

"That is a natural process we can't avoid but I will do my best to keep young.

"I create content to inspire people that anything is possible, no matter your age."

Edson has written a book titled 'Young After 50- Unlock Secrets To Reverse Aging Naturally' which is available to read on his website: https://www.fitandyoungafter50.com/
