On the 25th (local time), the American daily New York Post and others reported that Johnson recently revealed in a video posted on his YouTube channel, "For the past 3 years, I have eaten 'chocolate' every day to deceive death." In the video, Johnson showed a large pile of chocolate on the table and said, "You can't just eat any chocolate; you have to select good chocolate," adding, "It must be pure cacao, unprocessed, free of heavy metals, and rich in flavonols." He explained various benefits chocolate has on the body and claimed that consuming a moderate amount of chocolate daily can have amazing effects on brain health, memory, and heart health. Johnson said, "Not all cocoa available in stores is high quality," and that he consumes the highest quality cocoa, which his project team searches for worldwide, tests personally, and purchases.

Johnson also shared several delicious recipes using cocoa powder. He said mixing cocoa powder into nut pudding makes it tasty. Although he usually does not like it, he sprinkled cocoa powder on vegetables, which are gaining attention as superfoods, then mixed them with nut butter. He added that it tastes like a 'healthy Nutella.' He also called cocoa mixed with coffee a 'decadent snack.'

In fact, chocolate is known to be effective in anti-aging. Cacao, the raw material of chocolate, is rich in polyphenols, which are antioxidants. Polyphenols have antioxidant effects that inhibit oxidation in our bodies. Also, flavonols, which make up most of the polyphenols, are known to lower blood pressure, dilate blood vessels, and protect blood vessels, making them beneficial for arterial diseases.

Chocolate is also a food that improves mood. Phenylethylamine in chocolate is a representative substance that enhances mood. This substance is a hormone secreted when feeling love. Typically, 100g of chocolate contains 50-100mg of phenylethylamine. Additionally, cocoa beans, the raw material of chocolate, contain substances that inhibit the breakdown of the neurotransmitter anandamide. Anandamide is a neurotransmitter that improves mood.

Meanwhile, Johnson invests about 2 million USD (approximately 2.7 billion KRW) annually in collaboration with doctors under the name 'Project Blueprint' to find ways to slow aging or reverse biological age. He also personally serves as a test subject to discover medical diagnostics and treatments, including diet, sleep, and exercise. In May last year, he shocked many by receiving a blood transfusion from his 17-year-old son to lower his biological age as much as possible.

Johnson reportedly follows a vegan diet of less than 2000 kcal daily, goes to bed at the same time every day, and consistently adheres to an exercise regimen. His heart is currently diagnosed as 37 years old, skin as 28 years old, and lung capacity and stamina as 18 years old. He does not drink alcohol at all and takes as many as 111 supplement pills daily. Additionally, he undergoes daily body fat scans and regular MRI examinations by a medical team of 30 doctors.

Johnson also claimed that although he is genetically predisposed to baldness, he overcame both baldness and gray hair using several unique methods last February. He said, "The best time to manage hair is before it starts falling out," urging his followers in their 20s to "take preventive measures before hair thins or falls out."
