Anti-aging enthusiast and tech mogul, Bryan Johnson, has recently disclosed one of the surprising key ingredients he incorporates into his daily routine to maintain a youthful appearance. For the past three years, the 46-year-old Johnson has been consuming measured amounts of cocoa to support his quest for longevity, as revealed in his latest YouTube video.
Johnson acknowledges that certain beneficial practices can be overlooked, and cocoa is one such example. However, he emphasizes that he is not indulging in regular chocolate bars but rather consuming pure, measured amounts of cocoa daily. He proclaims the numerous benefits of cocoa, including its positive effects on brain health, executive function, long-term memory, and heart health.
The Californian tech mogul stresses the importance of selecting high-quality cocoa. He highlights four key criteria to consider when purchasing cocoa: purity, undutched processing, testing for heavy metals, and high flavonol content. While Johnson’s Blueprint store offers cocoa that his team has extensively tested and sourced from around the globe, he encourages his audience to prioritize consuming high-quality foods in general, regardless of whether they are purchased from his store.
He demonstrates simple recipes to incorporate his cocoa powder into his daily diet, such as mixing it into nut pudding, super veggies, and coffee. These creations reveal the versatility of cocoa and provide a delicious way to reap its health benefits.
Johnson is renowned for his experimental anti-aging approaches. In the past, he has garnered attention for controversial methods such as receiving blood transfusions from his 17-year-old son to achieve a younger biological age. He has also claimed to reverse hair loss and greying through unique techniques, despite acknowledging his genetic predisposition to baldness. Johnson believes that proactive measures should be taken to preserve hair health before symptoms appear.
