The main issue is a lack of health awareness. Even though we can handle natural disasters, many people die from not taking care of their health, like eating poorly, ignoring air pollution, and not being fit.
@@cheesebusinessI think it's both awareness and motivation. Many people don't really genuinely believe they're taking years out of their lives with their bad habits, because they feel good in the moment and project that feeling into the next 5 decades of their lives, expecting their bodies to hold up to crappy lifestyles. If people read concrete examples their beliefs about the health effects of different lifestyles shift and become stronger, which in turn make them change their lifestyle for the better
@@cheesebusiness While a small percentage of people are aware of health risks, and even fewer take action before becoming seriously ill, it doesn't change the fact that most people are unaware of what they consume, breathe, or do, and the consequences of these actions, making health awareness the biggest contributor here.
@@Kokurorokuko Many small steps help, but burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas is the main cause of air pollution. Supporting renewable energy sources like solar and wind can improve air quality much more than all small efforts combined. Edit: Individuals can support, use, and spread awareness about ditching air-polluting sources whenever possible. To protect yourself, you can use air purifier, masks, indoor plants, limiting exposure, monitoring air quality and your health.
In '94 my family moved us to Phoenix, Arizona because of the clean air due to my sister having asthma, now Phoenix is one of the county's cities with the worst air pollution.
Compliments for another informative video presented clearly and concisely. Very useful that you presented the data in terms of the global burden of disease, and then disaggregated the data by risk factors... air pollution being #2. I used to try to persuade climate change skeptics of the benefit of investing efficiencies and alternatives to fossil fuels by noting that air pollution presents an immediate (relatively speaking) individual health risk; saving the species from climate catastrophe (an absolutely greater collective risk) is just a co-benefit of the sunken investment into maximizing an individual's life expectancy. Perhaps self-interest will save the planet. Keep up the good work!
And imagine how many Russians from other countries are watching it? For example, I'm Russian from the United States and my viewing counts as Americans, although I only have a weak English loll in my American one. The video is cool, respect.
Phenomenal video. I knew I subscribed to you for good reason. Thanks for putting this great video together, and for instilling new knowledge into me. :)
I live in city near Delhi which has very high air pollution, I didn't knew that pollution has this big of an impact. I might leave to some other city but Here I have a house , which can make me not pay rent. And India has a very high rent in some areas compared to average income so I am not sure.but thanks for pointing this out
Thing is, high blood pressure and how well can you handle air pollution also depends heavily on your diet, so "dietary risks" should still stand at the top of the list
Bad diet causes acid reflux which leads to sleep apnea which damages the heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas. A diagnosis of sleep apnea under age 50 means you will die in 8 to 18 years.
I don't smoke, i don't drink, and i'm skinny, but my biggest factor here could potentially be the high blood sugar.. i consume way too much sugar daily
2:45 Tragic is bad word, better is shocking. It's natural to die at 85yo, no one expects child to die. Personally, from how I feel (22yo) Cardiovascular malfunction and other's organs is caused by degeneration of brain. When you have not strong enough will and mental cohesion, it causes to fail send properly electrical impulses. It also causes nerve pains (dictionary says neuralgia but IDK what's it) which are degenerative & debilitating for tissue which they're triggered on.
I feel there's no escape from stress, anger and sometimes even loneliness and all that contributes to cardiovascular diseases on the long term. A grim scenario, dare I say.
If not from pollution you will die of over population like car or bike accidents when billions of people go on roads regularly to make ends meet that's that huge population not safe to live
your videos are always good but on this one it was not the kind that ppl want to watch till the end after about 2 min the bold point of the video is over
I am not scared by this at all, the science suggests the low birth rate is a problem. Right now there are more humans on earth every 2 seconds but that is because humans are living longer owing to better health care, environment, and less war. So more people are going to get to that 85 year level. But that getting to 85 ish is a bubble which is going to burst, and when we get closer to that we're going to have a lot more older people and a lot less young people % wise than there has ever been in our known human history. Once it bursts then if current trends continue the human population will go down. If you are worried about the earth's current human population and think it needs reduced then it's less adults we need not less babies. I don't recommend any solution that has a way to population reduce adults quicker. According to the United Nations Population Division. World Population Prospects (which you can search for on the internet) the number of births per woman was; 2000: 2.7 2010: 2.6 2020: 2.3 It has been going down since the early 60's (small spike when there was a birth control safety scare but that is the only time the trend was not down for a brief period). Earth's population rises mostly because people live longer, not because we have more children.
