Bryan Johnson, the 45-year-old founder of Kernel, recently made headlines after a trip to India. Known for his ambitious project ‘Blueprint’,which aims to slow down aging through a strict lifestyle, Johnson has taken his commitment to health to extraordinary levels.
During his visit to India where he will be promoting his book, ‘Don’t Die’, he won’t be savouring Indian Cuisine like most of the people who visit India. Johnson revealed a unique aspect of his travel preparations on X (formerly Twitter). He shared that he packed enough food to last six days, ensuring he could stick to his strict dietary plan even while abroad.
In his post, he jokingly declared, “Food is guilty until proven innocent,” highlighting his cautious approach to eating. His supply reportedly included plant-based meals and longevity-focused mixes, carefully selected to align with his health goals.
What is blueprint?
“Blueprint” emphasises a regimen of healthy eating, regular exercise, stress management, and modern medical practices to enhance well-being and combat aging. While his dedication has drawn admiration, his unconventional travel habits have also sparked curiosity and some ridicule.
Most of the food products he’s carrying are from his brand blueprint. While his products claim to be pure and have undergone rigorous testing, The National Institues Of Health recommends getting nutrients from whole foods and advises to not to rely on powders, supplements, and concoctions.
“Many supplements contain active ingredients that can have strong effects on the body. Always be alert to the possibility of a bad reaction, especially when taking a new product,” the NIH says. “You are most likely to have side effects from dietary supplements if you take them at high doses, or instead of prescribed medicines, or if you take many different supplements,” it added.
Netizens criticise Bryan for packing his own food on trip to India
Many X users trolled Bryan for carrying his own packaged meals during his trip to India instead of indulging into the rich cuisine. Some even compared him to the typical ‘Indian Auntie’ who packs food and carries it everywhere she goes.
Some netizens commented with humourous memes while others criticised him. An user commented, “Pity that you’re missing out on amazing cuisine. Living long without living well feels empty.”
Another user commented, ““Bro are you telling me you are going to India and not try *any* local food there? If there were Olympics for do not die, you deserve the gold medal for this sacrifice.”
Johnson recently joined the Ambanis at their residence to promote his book and share his insights on longevity and health.
