RAY LUI, 70 YEARS OLD WITH A 39-YEAR-OLD BODY : HIS ANTI-AGING SECRETS
Some numbers deceive, others speak of mastery. When the clock says 70 but the body shouts 39, it’s no longer luck—it’s an architecture of will. Those who defy time don’t escape it—they bend it to their ritual.

💪 Dear Wonderwomen and Supermen,
What if your body was 30 years younger than your actual age? That’s the case for Ray Lui, the 70-year-old Hong Kong actor whose tests reveal a biological age of just 39.9 years.
While rumors hint at cosmetic surgery, he insists that youth comes from within.
On Xiaohongshu, he shares his anti-aging rituals: nutrition, exercise, and inner peace. Think staying young is about genes or scalpels? Think again.
Dive into the real secrets of a body that defies time.
SPOTLIGHT
Ray Lui, a Hong Kong TV icon since the 1980s, recently caused a stir on Xiaohongshu by revealing the striking results of his longevity tests : at 70, his biological age is estimated at 39.9 years, with a cardiovascular system of a 43-year-old and an endocrine system aged just 39. Rather than crediting plastic surgery, Ray attributes his youth to inner vitality. Here are the five pillars behind his glowing longevity.

The Details :
Food as Preventive Medicine : Ray emphasizes onions, which he calls “smart vegetables.” Rich in quercetin, they act as natural anti-inflammatories, protect against cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline, and help regulate blood sugar. He eats them regularly to nourish gut flora and strengthen the immune system.
His Youth Elixir: Detox Energy Soup : Inspired by Japanese traditions, his “detox energy soup” is a raw blend of bitter melon, cucumber, radish, apple, and lemon. By avoiding cooking, he preserves essential enzymes, vitamins, and minerals needed for cellular regeneration. It’s a staple of his morning routine.
Daily Movement and Leg Focus : Ray practices regular physical activity, with special emphasis on leg strength—seen in many studies as a key to longevity. He knows that lower-body muscle loss is closely linked to declining autonomy with age.
Less Meat, More Mindfulness : He limits meat and animal products in favor of a more plant-based diet. Combined with mindful eating (especially slow breakfasts), this promotes better digestion, hormone balance, and optimal weight management.
Mental Health and Family Harmony : Married since 2001 to Yang Xiaojuan, Ray highlights the importance of a calm emotional environment. He advocates for a peaceful lifestyle, avoids late-night dinners, and prioritizes restorative sleep. His inner balance, he says, is a fundamental part of his physical vitality.
Key Takeaway :
Ray Lui embodies a truth often overlooked : sustainable youth is the result of an intentional, coherent lifestyle. His holistic approach—functional nutrition, targeted movement, mental wellness—perfectly reflects the principles of longevity medicine. His story offers an accessible vision, grounded in harmony rather than extreme intervention. At 70, he doesn’t fight time—he walks with it wisely.

HYPE OR FACT ?
💭 Tall people live longer
❌ FACT (Actually, they don’t.)
Several studies indicate that shorter individuals tend to live longer on average. A 2003 study in the Journal of Gerontology and research from Hawaii on Asian populations show that those under 1.60 meters (5'3") have a lower incidence of chronic diseases and longer lifespans. Researchers cite biological reasons: less body mass to maintain, reduced oxidative stress, and higher expression of the longevity-related FOXO3 gene. Longevity, it turns out, doesn’t depend on height—but on cellular metabolism and lifestyle.
