70-year-old HK actor Ray Lui explains his tips for staying young
HONG KONG: There's this Hong Kong actor, Ray Lui—you might remember him from back in the '80s when he was sometimes called Sam Lui, especially if you watched 'Shanghai Beach.' Well, he's famous for looking super young for his age. He recently spilled his secrets on the Chinese social media site Xiaohongshu, according to the New Straits Times. Photo: Instagram/Ray Lui In his post, Lui mentioned that even though he's hit the big 7-0 this year, a recent test put his body's age at just 39. The report, translated by Dimsum Daily and according to Lui, showed his cardiovascular age at 43, his immune system at 44, and his endocrine system at 39, giving him an overall biological age of 39.9. Feeling healthy and energetic inside In response to rumours that his young appearance could be the result of cosmetic procedures, he stated that long-term wellness originates internally. He also pointed out that while things such as cosmetic surgery might make you look good on the outside, he focuses on having a healthy and energetic feeling inside, which he believes shines through. The actor achieves this by maintaining a consistent diet and regular exercise routine. He talked about two key foods in his anti-ageing routine. People often call onions 'smart vegetables' because they're good for your gut. They seem to know how to go after the bad bacteria hanging out in there while helping the good bacteria thrive. He added that onions are rich in quercetin and offer anti-inflammatory benefits that help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, prevent Alzheimer's, fight cancer, and regulate blood sugar. Next up, he's a big believer in his own special 'detox energy soup,' which he says is inspired by healthy Japanese traditions. The drink includes raw ingredients like bitter melon, cucumber, radish, apple, and lemon—blended without cooking to preserve enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. More health tips He also let people in on some other things he does to stay healthy, like taking his time to eat breakfast, making sure he gets regular exercise (especially working his legs), and not eating as much meat and other animal-based foods. For his mental well-being, Lui, who's married to a Chinese businesswoman named Yang Xiaojuan, really prioritizes having a peaceful and loving vibe at home. He also suggests skipping big dinners so that you can sleep better. Lui has been married three times. He is currently married to Yang Xiaojuan (since 2001) and has a child with her. From 1988 to 1989, he was married to his first wife, Kathy Chow. Following that, he married Cally Kwong from 1996 to 1997.

70yo HK Actor Ray Lui Claims His Biological Age Is 39; Shares Secret To Staying Young
The pursuit of youth and fitness is nothing new, as people have long been chasing the latest cosmetic procedures or skincare regimes in an attempt to slow down the ageing process. But what if we told you there's a cheaper, non-invasive alternative to looking younger—one that comes from a literal vampire himself? Hong Kong actor Ray Lui (呂良偉), known for his good looks and youthful exterior, has shared his secret on the Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu. Turning 70 years old this year, Ray Lui claims that not only are his methods working in improving his looks, but he has also tested that his biological age is 39 years old – a whole 31 years younger! The secret? A consistent diet and a regular exercise routine. In his post, Ray recommends eating 'smart vegetables' such as onions, which have the ability to discern good and bad bacteria in the stomach to aid in digestive health. Moreover, onions, which are packed with antioxidants known as quercetin, help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, prevent Alzheimer's, combat cancer, and regulate blood sugar levels. Ray Lui also swears by his homemade detox energy soup, which consists of a mixture of bitter melon, cucumber, radish, and fruits like apple and lemon, blended with water. He claims the nutrients from the blend help to detoxify the body and boost metabolism. In response to sceptics who credit cosmetic surgery to his youthful looks, Ray Lui states, 'Cosmetic treatments only enhance the exterior, but I strive for a vibrant energy that radiates from the inside'. He also advocates some lifestyle tips to combat ageing. The actor said maintaining a regular exercise routine, especially targeting leg strength, will help in combating weak knees. Enjoying a slow breakfast to slowly prepare for the day also helps in improving mood, and he argues that having a loving home environment is essential for mental well-being. Ray Lui also states that cutting animal products from meals can be beneficial, and not overeating at dinner will ensure better sleep quality.
