Baba Ramdev Blocks Bryan Johnson After Air Quality Criticism
The yoga guru blocked the US millionaire on X following a comment about Haridwar's pollution in response to Ramdev's anti-ageing product claims.
- Baba Ramdev shared a video of himself running alongside a horse, promoting Patanjali products Swarna Shilajit and Immunogrit Gold for their claimed anti-ageing and immunity-boosting benefits.
- Bryan Johnson, a US tech entrepreneur known for his anti-ageing pursuits, responded by highlighting Haridwar's poor air quality, equating it to smoking 1.6 cigarettes daily.
- Johnson's comment raised concerns about the health risks of living in Haridwar, including increased chances of heart disease, lung cancer, and reduced life expectancy.
- Shortly after Johnson's reply, Ramdev blocked him on X, prompting Johnson to share the incident publicly, drawing significant online attention.
- This is not Johnson's first critique of India's air quality; he previously left a podcast in India citing pollution-related health concerns.
