Hey folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for joining us on Fat Burning Man,

where we talk about real food and real results.

On today's episode, we're exploring one of the most underappreciated aspects of health,

the air we breathe.

Most health nuts pay attention to the quality and quantity of water we drink every day.

And if you're listening to this or you've read the wild diet, at this point you probably

care about the quality of your food, but why are we not equally concerned about the

quality of the 11,000 liters of air that we breathe in every single day?

In the past few years, while we've been traveling around the world, I really learned to appreciate

fresh air and growing up in the middle of New Hampshire where fresh air is abundant,

it was never really something that I thought about, but before doing this interview, I decided

to look into a few of the stats behind air quality pollution and its effect on your health.

And so I was surprised to learn that every single year, more than 8 million people worldwide

die from air pollution and the effects of air pollution definitely aren't new.

It's something we've been struggling with for a long time.

In 1952, the great smog of London killed more than 4,000 people from pollutants released

by factories and fireplaces.

A few years before that, in 1948, severe industrial air pollution created a deadly smog that

exfixiated 20 people in De Nore, Pennsylvania and made 7,000 more sick.

But most people don't realize that indoor air is actually worse.

It can be 10 times more polluted than ambient air, and we spend more than 90% of our time

indoors.
