now let's talk about Brian Johnson if you don't live under a rock you have most likely heard of him he's an American Tech entrepreneur and an anti-aging fanatic he's 47 years old that's his chronological age but he has the heart of a 37y old the skin of a 22y old and the lungs of an 18-year-old because much of his time and money is dedicated to age reversal Johnson wakes up at 4:30 a. m. every day he eats all meals before 11:00 a.
m. he pops more than 100 pills daily injects his face with bizarre treatments exchanges his blood with his sons basically he's up for all kinds of strange experiments but India's Air that's where he draws the line recently Brian Johnson was in India and within 3 days he began to notice the changes he says his his skin broke out in rashes his eyes started watering his throat was irritated then he went on a podcast but he cut the conversation short he walked out of the podcast recording Midway because of the air he could not tolerate the room's air quality he said now it's worth knowing this the podcast was being recorded in a five-star hotel Johnson was wearing an n95 mask there was an air purifier in the room and the room's air quality stood at 130 but Johnson just could not take it if you live in India this may seem a little over the top most Indians would consider an aqi 130 a privilege people exercise outside in this air children go to school in this air babies and Elders breathe this air all the time people rarely complain about this air quality but reality check it is as harmful as smoking more than three cigarettes a day so Johnson's reaction to the pollution should not come as surprise and needless to say this is not a good look for India we're talking about the world's fifth largest economy that aspires to be a developed Nation by 2047 and a global superpower but when the country is shrouded in bad air it dims brand India and we shouldn't have to wait for a tech entrepreneur from the us to tell us this or to trigger this conversation but here we are India is among the most polluted countries in the world this is the world's most populated nation and its entire population is exposed to pollutants this causes more than 2 million debts every year and it has a heavy cost to the economy about 37 billion dollar here aqi regularly reaches 500 which is considered hazardous it should be far from the norm but what's worse is that the aqi exceeds this limit during winter months and that's when there is some uproar in the country when it becomes very hard to breathe when visibility goes to zero when schools have to be shut that's when we remember that pollution is a problem so it may seem strange that someone is talking about air pollution in the month of February when the AI is only 130 but do you know what stranger the fact that we continue to ignore the horrifying effects of pollution effects that we already know about bad air causes heart disease stroke and cancer that's right it even causes cancer and this is not just about India the world over air pollution is fueling a rise in cancer especially lung cancer and what we're seeing now is unprecedented about 2 and a half million people are diagnosed with with the disease every year and these cases are on the rise globally especially among people who have never smoked before and the largest burden of these cases is in East Asia particularly China how is this acceptable did you know that today is World cancer day it is the 25th time that the world is observing this day to spread awareness to boost action to save lives leaders everywhere are talking about cancer experts are sitting down for panel discussions social media is brimming with celebrity endorsements yet citizens are breathing toxic air the world over so it's time to ask when will this change because a millionaire abandoning a podcast can only stir conversation it won't stop pollution from serving death sentences they're calling the show van AG we hope you like what we put together for you B doubted as the minimum defend from that video India's neighbors were the first to this special edition of Vantage live from the White House throughout the Hindu Mand in we're on a way to T measure but it's also the perfect way to drive I don't think prime minister of Bhutan sharing welcome to 60% of the walls prime minister mod we were actually you doing how do you like it's been 1 year since that meet iron bars separate you from the outside out the vote effort Trump P it says and at $4. 3 trillion 4.
