Take it from me, I'm 27 and look 19/20.
1) Eliminate all toxins entering the body (skin, lungs, mouth)
2) Increase your nutrients entering your body
3) Exercise (what you're already doing)
First, start by getting rid of all the soap you're used to using, read the labels and you'll find that most of it is petroleum waste by-products of what is left when they make gasoline. Go here for the finest natural soaps 5starsoap.com or calbenpuresoap.com and instead of using over-the-counter deorderants, use a little bit of water mixed with Pure Baking Soda(no aluminum) to make a milky paste, use this for deorderant instead of brand names, or get yourself a deorderant from calbenpuresoap.com. You'll notice also that the detergents you wash your clothes with are also petroleum waste by-products, calbenpuresoap.com is the way to go! These detergents are absorbed into the body through the skin.
Second, drink reverse osmosis water, tap water contains chlorine which bleaches the natural enzymes from your gut, amongst other things that are toxic for the body, Fluoride(which is a poison, causes lower IQ, decreased bone density and cancer) You can find RO water offered at most grocery stores. Also since you shower in toxic water(everyone does) you could use a shower filter, to filter out these chemicals.. cause when it gets in the air, it leads you to greater exposure because you inhale these chemicals, berkeywater.com (look for the KDF Shower filter) that or you can look into getting an In-Home RO water filter system put in (at the source.. water coming into the house)
Third, eliminate all toxins entering the mouth through the foods you do eat. Read the labels!!! I can't stress this enough. If you're too lazy to read labels, only buy Organic foods. (those are found in many health food stores and health food isles) Why buy organic? Standard fruits and vegetables are growth with pesticides, herbicides and are part of the source of many health problems. Organic frults/vegetables don't contain these harmful chemicals, but beware, some grocery stores still spray even organic fruits/vegetables with their Tap water.. which contains many hundreds of chemicals and known toxins.
Toxins to be aware (and stay away from)
- Gluten (impairs the cells from absorbing nutrients)
- High Fructose Corn Syrup (robs the body of nutrients, so eating these two ingredients are double-wammy)
- Aluminum (in baked goods and Deorderant)
- Propylene Glycol (found in foods, fast foods, and deoderants, its Anti-Freeze)
- Aspartame (other wise known as Phenylalanine, turns into Formaldehyde at 70 degrees, inside the body)
- Sodium Benzoate (this plus Absorbic Acid, creates Benzene in the body which is a carcinagen)
- Monosodium Glutenmate (aka MSG, still in fast foods, McDonalds, Wendys, TacoBell, BurgerKing, etc)
- Bleached Flour (look for non-bleached flour, so that you don't harm your beneficial bacteria)
Do not eat at national chain resturants, just don't eat out period unless you know that the mom-and-pop place down the street is all organic.
Drink natural 100% juices, no pop, no beer, no alcohol.
Take a herbal supplement such as Liv.52 (herbalprovider.com) to restore your Liver to its full potential and to purge your body of waste. Why I stress so much.. the liver is the Detox organ and the chemical factory in your body, if this fails, we die. So keeping your Liver functioning tip-top is probably the most important thing to do, cause once your Liver is doing good, your whole body feels good. (watch your bowl movements, you'll be shocked to see what comes out 2-3 days into taking the Liver support formula, things that you never knew were in your body, and you will feel great knowing/feeling that its out of your body)
Start a cleansing routine, such as taking MetaCleanse found here (Enerfood.com)
Take a green grass drink (mix Enerfood.com's green drink with Apple juice, orange juice if you don't like apple juice, every day for a month) You'll feel an amazing difference in yourself your body will have a lot of nutrients. All the muscle you have will feel twice as strong, and you can recover from workouts almost instantly after working out. I can't stress this enough either. For having an abundance of nutrients your body can fully recover/heal, and the rest of the nutrients are either stored or released through your bowel.
Wouldn't hurt to also take a Pro-Biotic which contain beneficial enzymes like Acidolphulus and Bifidobacterium.
Drinking/taking products with high amounts of Anti-Oxidants like;
Goji Berry, Acai Berry, Noni Berry, Mangosteen (these are expensive drinks, I would not want you to go that route, until you have started the cleansing routine, super green drink and organic diet, since I believe it would be a waste of money if your body is clogged with any articficial/harmful chemicals which there will always be some there, in all of our bodies, we can just do what we can to take in less)
I would not recommend taking any pharmacecuticals, for it would destroy these beneficial bacteria, and reverse this health diet plan to look younger. This is also a diet plan that will help anyone with IBS, Diarhea, Constipation, heartburn, anyone suffering from any bowel problems
You can shortcut a lot of these things, to save money, type into Google "liver support" there are things like Milk-Thistle which is pretty cheap that help the Liver, I just recommend the 16 dollar Liv.52 for it does the best job, I have found out there.
To sum it up;
1) Drink pure water
2) Eat pure foods
3) Restoring your body will restore your health/looks.
Check out the movie on google called
"Food As Medicine" also for even more interesting food facts, like Clinatro is great for Heavy-Metal detox, who would've known!
Lastly, if you have Silver teeth fillings.. have them removed and get Porcelin implants instead, the silver are 50% Mercury (yea they didn't tell us that when we got them put in, and FDA finally admitted just this year, that chewing food with these Silver implants and while you sleep, emits mercury vapors, which could cause neurological and physiological health issues) Know what they said? "oh its fine, just breathe out your mouth" like thats so easy to do when you're sleeping.
I could go on and on, but this is a good start.. give it a month, and tell me what your results are.
If you have any questions, please ask me.

Human growth hormone (HGH) is one of the most powerful mechanisms at work in the fight against aging. When you're young, HGH helps keep your body fat low, your muscle mass high, and your skin young and healthy-looking.
By increasing the body's HGH levels, we can help decrease body fat, restore hair growth, and increase skin elasticity. In fact, according to one report in The New England Journal of Medicine, HGH has been show to reverse biological age "by 10 to 20 years."
Enhancing growth hormone without supplements:
Fast for one day every two weeks (only if medically appropriate).
The highest levels of growth hormone are released when we sleep and when we fast for at least 24 hours—another good reason to avoid going to bed on a full stomach.
Reduced caloric intake has also been associated with an extended life span. Many longevity experts advocate regular fasting (not for longer than 24 hours or more often than every 14 days) as a relatively painless way both to spike growth hormone release and to reduce calories for life extension purposes.
Avoid foods high on the glycemic index.
Foods like pasta, potatoes, and refined sweets register high on the glycemic index because they cause a rapid increase in your blood sugar, which stimulates the production of insulin. When there’s too much insulin in your blood, your
body reacts by producing a chemical called somatostatin. Somatostatin suppresses insulin release—but it also suppresses GH release! Foods low on the glycemic index include beans, legumes, nuts, and whole grains. (Nuts and
seeds also contain an amino acid combination favorable to the production of growth hormone.)
Exercise on an empty stomach.
Regular exercise, including aerobic training and strength training, stimulates your pituitary gland to increase growth-hormones levels. For best results, don’t eat for at least two hours
before exercising so that the exercise-induced release of growth hormone is not counteracted
by high levels of insulin in your blood.
Reduce fat.
Dietary fat blocks both the production and the release of growth hormone.
Keep fat intake to 20 to 30 percent of your daily calorie intake and try to emphasize healthy oils like olive, grape-seed, and avocado.

You can wear shirts with cartoon characters and super heroes on them. Wear bright colors. I notice that younger people wear brighter colors while older people wear darker colors. Have a race car bed in your room. Play hand held video games in public.

True. I think it might be the case cause I been through alot and did alot, but also probably because me and my friends we used to smoke when we were like 9 or 10y/o.

Smoking when you are 8 or 9 will not affect you much. As far as smoking goes, I've smoked for 20 years, and still smoke, and look at least 10 year younger than I am. It's called attitude.

When you walking around in public talk about how your mom grounded you for a whole week for not doing your chores.

Life isn't about what you look like on the outside. I struggled with the opposite growing up and even now. I don't look 28 at all, but it doesn't really matter. As long as you feel young then you have nothing to worry about. My advice to you is live in the moment and only put all your energy into each and every moment. Life is too short to worry about looking to old or to young... Just be happy, smile, eat healthy (preferably organic), and try and laugh A LOT!

Are you sure? I'm 24 going on 25 now. One day when i go back to school i want to go as someone who's 19 rather than someone in their late 20's. I'm kinda want to the the borne again thing kinda like matt damon. Exept i want to go back to high school and then go to college but as someone alot younger. You read KT's book right. I feel like i got screwed over and should get the last 7 years back. I'm a great actor. I still play videogames. I just have to lose a 1000 pounds and get some of the life back in me. I think that depending on what kind of life you want to live it really does matter what you look like. The way your treated your life is kind of determined by what you look like. Trust me. There's nothing really that run that you can do past the age of 21. Plus it will be fun tricking people who are my age into thinking i'm younger. I used to do it all the time and they would even be telling me "Wow your really smart for your age". Eating healthy, Running,and getting a good night sleeps works for sure. I think drinking alchohol might help too. I know it sounds crazy but if you look at someone who's 43 in the military compared to a 43 year old civilain the person in the military looks alot younger.
