I’m 35 but people say I look like I’m in my mid-20s – my secret to looking young, I tap into an unexpected power
A VEGAN content producer has credited her youthful looks to an unexpected power.
The 35-year-old said people often tell her she looks in her mid-20s and has suggested her meat-free lifestyle could be the reason.
But as far as she was concerned there was another way of looking at it.
“I get this a lot, people think that I look younger than 35 and attribute it to me being vegan,” said Nzinga Young (@veganzinga).
“While veganism has done tons of good in my life, I don’t think it’s the main reason for all of this.”
Nzinga has a popular presence on TikTok where she promotes a vegan lifestyle, that includes both food and fashion.
She has built up a large following of over 105,000 and another 3.8 million likes.
In this post, she tackled her age-defying looks, and her secret weapon might surprise some.
“I have a very specific set of life circumstances that I think are playing a big part in slowing my aging process,” she admitted.
Nzinga demonstrated her theory by sharing photographs of family members, who also seem to have escaped the rigors of age.
“This is my 71-year-old aunt who also has the same life circumstances. And my cousin who’s 52.
“I don’t have a picture of my dad but he also falls into the same category.”
There was a common denominator of course: “And what do we all have in common, our last name is Young.”
This, she said, was her secret: “I believe wholeheartedly that the fact that I say young more than the average person is showing up in my physical experience.”
So, she said, if you also want to pull back the years on your appearance, it was simple: “Just say young a lot, it helps.”
Commenters were blown away by her youthful appearance.
“Def genetics too, wow,” pointed out this person.
“Girl I thought you were 24,” said another.
This viewer liked her logic: “Love that reasoning.”
But, as far as this fan was concerned, her veganism could not be ignored: “The plant-based life definitely plays into you looking youthful.”
