American age-reversal expert Bryan Johnson promotes Indian food; social media is confused

American age-reversal expert and tech millionaire Bryan Johnson, who visited India earlier this month to promote his book on age-reversal, praised Indian cuisine in one of his social media posts on health and wellness.

The American entrepreneur, known for propagating a healthy lifestyle, said in a post on X, “Power is moving away from football and fast food and towards health, science, and Indian food.”

Johnson, who constantly urges people to adopt a healthier lifestyle, said, “Power is moving away from football and fast food and towards health, science, and Indian food.”

The founder and former CEO of Kernel urged his followers to embrace Indian food. However, this appeal is in stark contrast to his usual recommendations, which often avoid carb-heavy diets like those associated with Indian cuisine. 

This surprising post left netizens in splits as he brought his own food on his six-day visit to India, adhering to a strict diet. 

Making the revelation about his diet on the recent India tour, he said, “A lot of people ask me what I do about food when I travel. The first rule is this: food is guilty until proven innocent. This is why I’ve brought with me to India every calorie I’ll eat for six days.”

During his visit to Mumbai and Bengaluru, Johnson consumed health mixes, macadamia nut bars, lentils, pea soup, and matcha. All these ingredients are part of his meticulously tested Blueprint diet plan. Amid concerns over the global food supply, he carried his own food to places he visited, the tech millionaire clarified.

Reacting to this series of conflicting statements from the tech millionaire, a user stated, “Everything in India is diverse. When someone says Indian food, I ask, what Indian food? It's like me landing in London and saying that Croissant is an amazing European food.” 

Another user remarked, “Since when is naan bread healthy?”

A third user questioned, "Isn't Indian food traditionally so so carb heavy/protein light?" 

A fourth user commented, “Indian food of the type that made half of India diabetic?” 

A fifth user replied, “I love Indian food the most but why is power moving towards Indian food? It’s not the healthiest of the bunch. Very protein deficient. Excessive carbs. Spices have been found to be adulterated with heavy metals. Lots of pseudoscience in the “alternative medicine” field.”

A sixth user remarked, “Our floating oil chicken tikkas can kill faster than McDonald's.”
