"Black don't crack" but it's not melanin.

Youth genes discovered. 1/5 black American have these genes while 1/10 white American has these genes.

In 2013, I met Lou ferringo and, subsequently, a few months later I met Arnold. I was literally shocked at how much younger Lou looked when compared to Arnold. While Arnold looked like 60 something man. Lou looked like a late 40s man. Both men are in their sixties.

Lou attributed it to hard work, lifetime diet and training. Is that really the case?


There is also that famous black vegetarian who looks late 40s in her late 70s. She also attributes her youthful appearance to "hard work", "diet", and "discipline".

I have aunts and uncles, who are black, and who have no discipline or diet commitments, yet they look 10 years younger than their age.


I think it's shameful for Lou Ferrigno or that black vegetarian women to totally ignore that they may have "youth genes" and perpetuate a falsehood that hard work and discipline will equal a lifelong youthful appearance.

Melanin has something to do with it. My white co-workers(especially white women) in their 20s be looking older than black women in their late thirties. Especially the more fair skinned the white women happen to be.

I've also noticed people with color (Southeast Asians, Hispanics, Indians etc.) also tend to age more gracefully.

Melanin absolutely has something to do with it. Just avoiding outright UV radiation is something that absolutely works.

There's a lot of factors involved, melanin might just be one of them. Just do your best to stay in shape and eat right and get rest when you can.

That's really the best you can do.

Lou Ferrigno does look good. He looked the best when he was in his 40s and competed in a master's competition.

There is also that famous black vegetarian who looks late 40s in her late 70s. She also attributes her youthful appearance to "hard work", "diet", and "discipline".

I have aunts and uncles, who are black, and who have no discipline or diet commitments, yet they look 10 years younger than their age.

That woman in her 70s eats raw vegan which is very different from vegetarian. She has the body of a 30 year-old. Her husband eats a standard diet and looks every bit his age.

It can work both ways. A person can naturally look 20 years younger, but through diet or exercise knock another 15-20 years off their age.

Brian Clement of the Hippocrates Institute is reportedly in his 70s and his raw vegan diet is so strict that it is primarily greens and little to no fruit. Vince Vaughn's mother Shea is supposedly in her 70s but looks 30 years younger due to diet and exercise.
