They're teetering on the edge, barely making it with the antioxidants. All of a sudden, a huge oxidative injury like COVID comes along, tipping point. Now the mitochondria cannot function anymore because you don't have enough antioxidants to meet what it's producing. And essentially what happens is

it structurally becomes damaged, and it will release its own unique DNA into the cytoplasm, which signals to the immune system, I'm in trouble. What does the immune system do when you're in trouble? It says, okay, we've got something we need to fight. It puts itself into fighting mode, which is a pro-inflammatory mode,

The nervous system, the glial cells, know when macrophages, which are a kind of primal defense cell, are in this white blood cell, are in this fight, and they will convert themselves into glial activation and put themselves into this neuroinflammatory fight response, all from the powerhouse of the cell. But that makes perfect sense. It's a domino effect.

Yeah, but it's the most important part of you. Of course that's going to happen.

Air quality should be in the upper parts of the conversation of environmental risks to us from a health perspective. I think plastics, metals, all these things that have been talked about a lot out there in the last few years, yes, they're concerning. But when you start to dive into the data about what

living in a major city in the United States entails as far as risk is concerned, and how many different ways it impacts you, it's quite alarming. So, you know, it's everything from what you expect, which is a lung related risk, asthma, COPD, cancer, premature aging, to allergy and autoimmune diseases to skin related conditions like eczema. I mean, the list is really everything across the board.

Neurodegenerative diseases are elevated in major cities thought to be related to air pollution. So we should be talking about this at the top of the list.

I think here in the U.S., it's probably because we make the assumption that it's so much better than it was than when you and I were kids in the 80s and 90s, right? Like that was a time where major cities literally like you would live in a cloud of smog. And because of the measures in the automobile and industrial world to kind of reduce the pollutant emissions,
