Regarding the efficacy of a certain product, some netizens pointed out that Lin Zhiying's promotional claims like "reverse aging" and "reverse growth" are untrue. Lin Zhiying laughed it off: "Reverse growth is 100% impossible. Even if I gave this whole box to Master Guo Degang, he couldn't become like me. But drinking it can at least help maintain a good physical condition."I wouldn't claim it works for everyone, but it's been incredibly beneficial for me. Regarding the 'reverse aging' claims, I believe they carry a positive wish. If they caused unnecessary misunderstanding, I sincerely apologize!"
As Lin Zhiying noted, "reverse aging" can represent a positive aspiration or an ageless mindset. So how does one achieve "reverse aging," or age more slowly? Methods vary widely, and different approaches suit different individuals.
