INTRODUCTION

My name is Tricia and I am in my early 40s. First of all, I’d like to


congratulate you for downloading this eBook.

As most of my peers are inundated by their jobs, overwhelmed with


day-to-day tasks and struggling to make ends meet in the face of
inflationary cost pressures, I am sitting at home in comfort and
drafting this book with the hope that, by sharing my personal
journey, I may add value to you so that you too, may prolong your
own youthfulness and vitality while also realising the lifestyle of your
dreams.

You may be thinking, “what authority does she have to claim the
right to share tips on age defiance?”. I admit that, while I have yet
to attain a ripe old age, I’m no stranger to the ravages of time.
Among my peers, some would already have acquired avoidable
medical conditions such as gout, hypertension and high cholesterol.

anyone seen a Cougar?

I am also delighted to be completely free of all medical afflictions


conceivable to mankind. It is a true blessing and privilege to be
able to enjoy a clean bill of health.

A POSITIVE OUTLOOK AND
HOPEFUL MINDSET
SHALL SEE YOU THROUGH

I was born to parents who should never have gotten married.


Despite having laid his hands on her, my mother married my father
because they were already engaging in premarital sex, and it was
shameful for Asian women back in those days to be unwed, yet
sexually active.

I was merely a month-old infant when he slapped me for the first


time - for crying incessantly because I had been running a high
fever. This was to be the first of multiple unwarranted slaps and
threats over the next 21 years of my life, until which point, I finally
left “home” for good because of yet another unprovoked physical
attack.

By the time of that fateful day, I had already been looking forward
to uprooting myself from this hell for over a decade. Regardless, it
was still a completely unplanned event because I had just taken
my final exam paper as an undergraduate the day prior and
hadn’t even started my first day at work just yet.

My mother was not well qualified and earned meagre wages; we


were thus financially dependent on my father to provide – which
he not only did, but also managed rather well to do. She enjoyed
the material comforts he afforded us and could not muster the
courage to leave him despite his ongoing violence and habit of
belittling us and her family of origin.
9|Page
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
Growing up, I barely felt parental love nor the warmth of family. My
mother was raised in very comfortable circumstances and is an
extremely self-centred character; one who is oblivious to her
narcissism. Imagine being unceremoniously shipped off to my
grandparents’ the moment I was found to have caught chicken
pox! Instead of showing the slightest concern for her ten-year old’s
wellbeing, my mother’s priority was to have me gone pronto as she
didn’t have immunity against chicken pox, having never caught it
before.

Putting her own interests before mine and taking no interest in me


or my life is a normal state of affair.

There are more stories of family dysfunction and drama of course,


but I need not elaborate. My intent is merely to offer you a glimpse
into my formative environment. More importantly, I hope I might
impart some “wisdom” if you may, on the outlook, values, personal
convictions, and mindset that saw me through these dark times:

SECRET 1: PERSEVERE

As cliché as it sounds, tough times don’t last but tough people do.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!

SECRET 2: VALUE YOURSELF

Do not allow bullies - especially those that kick you when you are
down – to define you. Believe in yourself. My father once looked at
me in disgust and told me that I was more useless than the family
cat when, unable to cope with the curriculum in Engineering, I had
to drop out of college or face panic attacks. After a few months’
10 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
hiatus from school, I enrolled in Accountancy and made good in
the end. Meanwhile, another fellow Engineering drop-out who had
been my peer never recovered from the psychological blow of the
first failure and once again dropped out citing anxiety and
depression - this time from Accountancy.

SECRET 3: HANG ON TIGHT TO HOPE

I often felt that I was an unwanted child who led a worthless


existence. Still, I clung to the hope that there was light at the end of
this tunnel; that one day I would grow up and, with excellent grades
and a good job under my belt, be able to walk away from my
“home”.

SECRET 4: SOW AND YOU SHALL REAP

I possess a rather average IQ. Consistently ranking among the top


in my cohort nationwide did not come without lots of pain, sacrifice
and relentless commitment; all exerted in the pursuit of leaving
“home” as soon as possible. While imperceptible to outsiders
looking in at my seemingly easy success, my academic journey had
been anything but roses and sunshine. Feeling crushed by the
repeated borderline pass/ fail grades while in high school despite
having given my all, I nonetheless refused to throw in the towel. I
even fell into a brief depression after dropping out of Engineering
and consequently losing my scholarship in college. Setbacks aside,
I am pleased to share that my highest qualification to-date is a post
graduate degree from the University of Western Australia,
sponsored by the Government of Singapore. I am therefore here
today to tell you never to give up. Your hard work will always pay
off in the long run.

11 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
SECRET 5: COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

While I certainly wasn’t lavished with expensive possessions growing


up, I never had to worry about being availed the necessities. I
leveraged on my access to a good education, worked my guts out,
excelled academically and landed a coveted, high paying job. In
short, I stayed the course, weathering all trials and tribulations and
executed on my childhood dream, which was to attain financial
independence and immediately leave “home”.

Through my story, I hope you can see that by approaching life –


however tough - with the right attitude, you too, can weather all
storms to eventually attain your goals.

12 | P a g e

Age and circumstances notwithstanding, always shine bright,
exude youthful enthusiasm and positive energy2 to bless everyone
around you.

LIFESTYLE - THE BUILDING BLOCK
OF YOUTH

I am but human; a food loving one at that!

Like many people, I turn to junk food for relief during times of
emotional distress. Lays Classic potato chips are my guilty pleasure.
If you can, certainly do refrain from following in my footsteps!

Here are photos of me at my heaviest and most unfit, aged


seventeen. Back then, over-eating had been my coping
mechanism for stress.

14 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
Looking at me now, it is hard to think that I once tipped the scales
at 155 pounds. Over the course of 6 or so months in 2000, I managed
to lose approximately 43 pounds the tedious, boring but sustainable
way – by eating less and permanently incorporating regular
exercise into my life.

Two decades on, I rarely renege on my weekly cardiovascular


workouts and have managed to maintain a weight that fluctuates
within the range of 110-120 pounds.

15 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
I’ll be real with you – sustainable results come about through
consistency and discipline. It is imperative that you replace your
old habits with better ones so that your will never have to worry
about backsliding or going through yo-yo weight fluctuations ever
again.

Here is what I did, and still do:

DIET

SECRET 6

I eat wholesome, nutrient dense foods that keep me satiated such


as nuts, vegetables and lean proteins. These foods are high in
essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that are important
for maintaining optimal health, such as omega-3 fatty acids, fiber
and antioxidants.

Furthermore, since protein is known to increase satiety and reduce


hunger, it leads to an overall reduction of caloric intake. Protein also
has a higher thermic effect than carbohydrates or fats, which
means that the body burns more calories digesting and processing
protein than it does with other macronutrients.

SECRET 7

I moderate my intake of refined carbohydrates, such as rice, white


bread and pasta. Nevertheless, rice remains a staple in my daily
diet.

16 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
Having been stripped of their natural fiber and nutrients, refined
carbohydrates are quickly broken down and absorbed into the
bloodstream. The term “high glycemic index (GI)” is used to
describe such foods. Consuming them causes a rapid rise in blood
sugar levels, which shows up in the form of energy crashes, hunger
pangs and cravings.

People with high levels of blood sugar on a sustained basis may


develop insulin resistance and face an increased risk of acquiring
type 2 diabetes.

SECRET 8

I stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. The


human body is made up of about 60% water, and every cell, tissue,
and organ needs water to function properly. Water not only keeps
your skin hydrated so that wrinkles are less apparent, it also helps to
regulate body temperature, transport nutrients and oxygen to cells,
and remove waste from the body.

SECRET 9

I avoid processed and sugary foods, as they can contribute to


inflammation, premature ageing and health problems such as an
increase in the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other
cardiovascular diseases.

Sugary processed foods are often high in calories but low in


nutrients and fiber, which means they are less filling and can lead
to overeating. Additionally, consuming large amounts of sugar can
cause a release of dopamine in the brain, leading to cravings for
more sugar and potentially resulting in addictive behaviors.
17 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
SECRET 10

I avoid processed meats as they tend to be high in unhealthy fats,


which have been linked to weight gain, metabolic disorders, and
chronic illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

While you may crave processed foods (if they have been your
regular fix) initially, your taste buds will adapt as you permanently
re-program your eating habits. Before you know it, chances are that
you will soon find yourself repulsed by food that is sugary and/or
processed.

SECRET 11

I eat plenty of fiber, which staves off hunger and can help reduce
inflammation as well as improve digestion. Glucomannan is a
natural, yet convenient source of fiber which is tasteless and has
zero caloric count.

SECRET 12

I reduce my intake of salt, which can contribute to high blood


pressure, which in turn, is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke
and kidney stones. The salt intake recommended for most adults
should not exceed 2,300 milligrams per day.

SECRET 13

I continue to eat whatever I like - chips, cakes, ice cream and


chocolate – but I do so only occasionally and in measured
quantities, based on listening to my body.

18 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
SECRET 14

I do not forbid myself from enjoying any food as doing so would only
fuel an insatiable longing and become counterproductive over the
long run.

I love Chinese food, sashimi


and cheesecake!

19 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
During Covid-19, I
naturally ate less
because lockdown
meant I couldn’t dine
out and was able to
personally oversee my
food portions.

By and large, Chinese


people can’t bear to
waste food and I’m
just like that! This being
the case, I would
inadvertently over-eat
when I dined out.

I took this picture as I


was bemused that my
shorts were about to
fall off.

INTERMITTENT FASTING

SECRET 15
According to de Cabo & Mattson, 2019, “Intermittent fasting seems
to confer health benefits to a greater extent than can be attributed
just to a reduction in caloric intake… Pre-clinical studies and clinical
trials have shown that intermittent fasting has broad-spectrum
benefits for many health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes
mellitus, cardiovascular disease, cancers, and neurologic disorders.”

20 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
Two main feeding regimens are commonly endorsed by
proponents of intermittent fasting:
• a daily time-restricted feeding regimen (an 18-hour fasting
period and a 6-hour eating period); or
• the 5:2 intermittent-fasting regimen (fasting [i.e., an intake of 500
calories] 2 days per week)

To accomplish either, a 4-month transition period is recommended


during which the time window for food consumption is gradually
reduced in succession (de Cabo & Mattson, 2019).

When Covid-19 struck in 2020 and I ended up primarily working from


home, I had embraced a 16-hour fast and 8-hour eating
intermittent fasting regime. Coupled with daily exercise, I managed
to shed 11 pounds. Besides I, many others have reported achieving
weight-loss through intermittent fasting without too much physical
exertion.

However, since the science behind this phenomenon remains to be


thoroughly studied and profoundly understood by the medical
community, I cannot over-emphasize to you the importance of
heeding the age-old admonition of caveat emptor. Do seek
personalized professional medical advice before attempting to
jump onto the intermittent fasting bandwagon.

21 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
EXERCISE

SECRET 16
I schedule time every day for some basic physical activity such as
taking a walk or performing squats or lifting hand weights while
watching TV.

It is important to remember that any amount of movement is better


than none, and even small amounts of physical activity can have
significant health benefits. Consider taking the stairs instead of the
elevator, standing up and moving around every hour, and picking
up tasks such as gardening or housework.

SECRET 17
I have rekindled my love for badminton. It is important to engage
in physical activities you enjoy so that exercising is associated with
pleasure rather than with dread.

If it has been a while since you participated in sports, starting with


small, achievable goals can help you build a sustainable routine for
increased physical activity.

SECRET 18
I take slow jogs around the neighbourhood regularly, while listening
to music. Besides helping to reduce stress and improve sleep quality,
jogging is a weight-bearing exercise which can also promote bone
density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

22 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
SECRET 19
During the early days of Covid-19 lock down, I reaped massive
results by following along to YouTube workout videos which
employed body weight resistance training and high-intensity
interval training (HIIT) methodologies.

Research has suggested that adults should aim for at least 150
minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity (such as brisk
walking or cycling) or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical
activity (such as running or HIIT) per week, in addition to regular
strength training exercises.

SECRET 20
Since muscles improve your tone and help you burn more calories
even while you are resting, I am working on incorporating weight
training into my regular routine. The 5 basic compound exercises
which are highly effective are squats, deadlifts, bench presses,
shoulder presses and pull-ups.

For busy individuals who are pressed for time, I would recommend
YouTube workouts and the 5 compound exercises aforementioned.

With age and more free time on my hands in the future, I anticipate
gradually transitioning to other low-impact exercises such as
swimming (which I find very relaxing) and social hiking.

I reckon that being in nature and interacting with fellow hikers


would present the added benefit of lifting my spirits. There would

23 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
also be more incentive for me to stick with hiking since I’d be keen
to nurture my newfound friendships.

Likewise, I encourage you to creatively think of ways to incentivise


yourself to lead an active lifestyle wherein regular exercise wouldn’t
feel like torture.

STRESS (AND MONEY) MANAGEMENT

Truth be told, when it comes to emotional eating, I still haven’t got


it all figured out and certainly do not profess to be disciplined 100%
of the time. Take heart as there is a silver lining:

You do NOT need to adhere strictly to your diet and exercise plan
365 days per annum, year in and year out!

Some celebrities have been known to swear by very severe diet


and exercise routines. To each his own but know that there really
isn’t any need to obsess or berate yourself for the occasional slipup.
You could well be setting yourself up for an emotional downward
spiral by placing extreme demands and unrealistic expectations
upon yourself. Instead, what I personally find to be helpful is to trust
myself to show up and sure enough, I will.

SECRET 21
Exercise works wonders to relieve stress - especially if you
participate in group sports that leave you feeling invigorated and
uplifted afterward.

SECRET 22
I also advocate the practise of mindfulness. As you visualise yourself
in the 3rd person and detach from being the protagonist of a scene,
the magnitude of your troubles will appear substantially diminished.

Mindfulness practise is also useful in helping to develop greater


awareness of one’s thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations,
thereby promoting greater self-understanding.

26 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
SECRET 23
A state of calm can also be induced through deep breathing
exercises and meditation.

• Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down. This could
be a quiet room or a place in nature where you won't be
disturbed.
• Get into a comfortable position. You could sit cross-legged on
the floor, sit in a chair with your feet on the ground, or lie down
on a mat or cushion.
• Set a timer for your desired meditation length. This could be a
few minutes to start with and gradually increase as you become
more comfortable with the practice.
• Close your eyes or focus on a single point in front of you.
• Take a few deep breaths and then allow your breath to return
to its natural rhythm.
• Begin to focus your attention on your breath, feeling the
sensation of the breath moving in and out of your body.
• If your mind wanders, gently bring your focus back to your
breath without judgment.
• Continue to focus on your breath for the duration of your
meditation.
• When the timer goes off, take a few deep breaths and then
slowly open your eyes.
• Take a moment to notice how you feel and try to carry this sense
of calm and relaxation into your day.

SECRET 24
Having an empathetic confidant listen as you express your burdens
can bring enormous relief and lift a weight off your shoulders. It
helps to know that you're not alone and that others care about your
well-being.

27 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
SECRET 25
If your job is the primary source of stress in your life, I want to
encourage you to evaluate your spending habits and trim frivolous
expenses. Save, invest and, where possible, even attempt a side
hustle so to generate alternative sources of income.

These are the exact steps I personally employed to fire my boss in


June 2022. If I could do it, so too can you! The journey of a thousand
miles begins with the first step.

SECRET 26
Last but not least, in times of crisis, I recite positive affirmations and
seek spiritual comfort from a higher power.

28 | P a g e

HABITS

I believe that it is largely due to my challenging childhood that


being sensible and being responsible had always been my modus
operandi.

Driven by a fear of ending up like my mother (i.e. unable to


financially provide for myself and having to put up with someone
nasty for money), I devoted all my time to studying although I found
absolutely no joy from doing so. For these reasons, I was never a
“wild child” who needed parental oversight to stay out of trouble.

Compared to the teens and young adults who hedonistically


indulged in clubbing and drinking the moment it became legal for
them, I never revelled in such activities. Till this day, the partying
scene poses no allure for me and so thankfully, I’ve never felt as if I
am missing out or depriving myself of fun and entertainment.
Consequently, smoking, alcohol consumption and staying up all
night are absent from my life.

29 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
SECRETS 27 - 30
Fundamentally, I consider good sleep to be critical for optimal
functioning. I therefore set aside 7-9 hours per night for it. I also take
care to avoid exposure to second-hand smoke and general
pollution since these are also factors which contribute to pre-
mature ageing; as do chronic sleep deprivation, smoking and
excessive drinking (Cleveland Clinic medical professional, 2022).

SECRET 31
An overwhelming number of people in today’s digital economy
spend much of their lives desk bound. Arising from a lack of
movement and muscle activity, sitting for a long time can cause
musculoskeletal disorders. (Safe Work Australia, 2022)

As someone living with a chronic back injury thanks to sustaining


long hours seated in bad posture back in the day, I urge you to
invest in an ergonomic chair that is fully adjustable, and which
provides good lumbar support.

To alleviate my symptoms, I went to an orthopaedic doctor and


physiotherapist. The latter taught me some simple moves to pre-
empt future attacks of backpain which I used to get every now and
then. These rehabilitative measures have been instrumental in
easing my tight lower back muscles and restoring my wellbeing.

If, like me, you experience bodily aches, I highly suggest that you
refrain from dismissing them. Do proactively seek out both
preventive, as well as curative solutions to assure yourself of vitality
and physical mobility well into old age.

Good health is a direct consequence of your lifestyle and habits,
which lay the foundation for everlasting youthfulness.

SKINCARE

As the saying goes, time is your most valuable resource. To save you
from wasting time and money on superfluous skincare products that
do little to enhance the health and appearance of your
complexion, I am pleased to share a simple, evidence-based
skincare routine (Abdaal, 2022) that maximises results with minimum
effort:

SECRET 32
Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser in the morning and at the
end of your day. Opt for hydrating cleansers that contain
hyaluronic acid and ceramides as these restore your skin’s natural
barrier and help to lock in moisture.

SECRET 33
Moisturize twice daily (in the morning and before bedtime) to
replenish your skin’s natural oils and boost its protective layer. The
latter functions as a barrier against harsh environmental elements
that dry your face out and cause it to feel itchy and inflamed.

SECRET 34
Sunscreen is essential to counteract dermatoheliosis (i.e.
photoaging). Recurring exposure to UV radiation leads to DNA
mutation, which can manifest as wrinkles, dark spots and even skin
cancer. Sunscreen reinforces the protective function of melanin,
which is produced by our skin, to keep genetic mutation at bay. For
maximum shield, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen that is effective

32 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
against both UVB as well as UVA rays and has a SPF of at least 50 or
higher. Top up your sunscreen every few hours as it can wear off
over the course of your day.

SECRET 35
Retinol is a research-backed ingredient that, with long-term use,
has been proven to reduce pigment and unevenness, as well as
minimise wrinkles and acne breakouts. By promoting the growth of
collagen in the dermis layer of your skin, retinols counteract sagging.
They also make skin cells regenerate faster so that your face looks
smoother and younger. First, apply retinol to cleansed skin then
moisturize it and you will be good to wind down for the night.

Follow these recommendations today and I am confident that your


future self will radiate timelessness.

33 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
SOCIAL CONNECTIONS

SECRET 36
It has been well established that prolonged social isolation, even in
healthy individuals, will eventually result in psychological and
physical disintegration, even death (Umberson & Montez, 2010).
People who actively maintain fulfilling relationships with family,
friends and community members are happier, have fewer health
problems, and live longer.

34 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
SECRET 37
How you come across to others goes beyond skin-deep
superficiality. To convincingly look younger than your biological
age requires that a sense of youthful joy and wonderment emanate

from deep within your soul. I therefore urge you to seek out
opportunities to be social and strive to achieve congruence
between your mind, body and spirit.

35 | P a g e
©TriciaLee.net | 44 Timeless Secrets to Looking 10 Years Younger
MENTAL STIMULATION

SECRET 38
People who exhibit the insidious signs of mental decline - such as
forgetfulness and obtuseness - are invariably perceived by others
to be “over the hill”. It is thus advisable to regularly challenge your
brain and expand its boundaries by constantly pursuing new skills
and knowledge (Coltrera & Restivo, 2020). Puzzles and brain teasers
