‘He avoids dairy and sugar as much as possible’

Hannah said, “So, a lot of you said my dad does not look 62 at all. Today, we are doing a 'what he eats in a day' to see how he maintains his youth.”

She then gave a glimpse of her father's morning routine, saying, “He always starts his day with a hot cup of black coffee and usually has salad for breakfast with the most random toppings like bananas on (cabbage and carrot) salad. My dad also loves matcha lattes, but his order is super specific – soy milk and no syrup. He avoids dairy and sugar as much as possible.”

Brown rice over white rice, and no alcohol

Hannah added, “Dad always chooses brown rice over white rice and skips beef. He prefers chicken or seafood instead. And, of course, no alcohol for him. Even though he eats super healthy, there is one thing he absolutely cannot resist – noodles.”

She also shared that her father's 'favourite snack' was roasted black beans, and said, “May be that's his secret to still having a full head of jet black hair at his age.” In her caption, Hannah wrote, “His diet got more strict after being diagnosed with cancer about 2 years ago. But here you go, his daily diet!”

Someone commented on her Instagram Reels, “His skin looks so good!” Another Instagram user said: “He looks amazing!!! Bananas on salad though.” A comment also read, “He looks 32 maximum.”
