'My throat and eyes burn': Age-reversal enthusiast Bryan Johnson experiences air pollution effects during his visit to Mumbai

Bryan Johnson, the tech millionaire and the anti-ageing guru, is currently in Mumbai, India, for an event themed "Don't Die," focused on Johnson's campaign for a longer and healthier life. Continuing his tour in India, Johnson revealed that he felt the effects of air pollution in Mumbai as soon as he landed in the city.

While responding to a post by the Indian-origin venture entrepreneur, Debarghya, also known as Deedy Das, about the health and the impact of air pollution on X (formerly called Twitter), where he highlighted the importance of addressing the issue of air pollution and how we are living in a denial even after facing such a massive health crisis, Johnson revealed that he is experiencing eyes and throat burning even when he is wearing the N95 mask outside and is also using an air purifier in his hotel room. ¡°I agree, it¡¯s a pretty serious health situation,¡± writes Johnson.

Every time I'm in India, I notice my eyes water more, I blow my nose more and people in general cough more.

My parents always said these were "allergies" but whenever they come to visit me in the US, they miraculously disappear.

We live in denial of a massive health crisis.

The global tech millionaire who is on an India tour to promote his book 'Don't Die' will also be visiting Bengaluru.

Last night at soho house with @deepigoyal, who built @zomato into one of the most successful companies in India. There were over 1,100 applications for 50 seats. Sad to miss so many of you.

Thank you @akshaybd and @thetanmay for hosting. https://t.co/mEpOQjt3ai

What does Johnson eat in a day?

During the conversation with Goyal and the other attendees at the event, Johnson shared some important information about how he prioritises his health first. He said he is currently working with a team of doctors and researchers to find out his body¡¯s biomarkers. But you may be wondering what makes him look so young even at the age of 45.

Johnson, with time, keeps sharing diet and fitness information with his fans on X. Similarly, during his India visit, many queried what food he eats when he travels, to which he replied by sharing a list of food on his X. ¡°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 6 days.¡±
