Dr. Kumar is a Chest, Robotic & Lung Transplant Surgeon and a Lung Health Expert. Our conversation revolved around the life-threatening consequences of polluted air, lung health, and how we can take better care of our lungs. In this episode, we discussed why lung diseases are predicted to become the number one cause of death in the next 20 years, why even breathing has become hazardous to our health, and what we can do to reduce air pollution and save our society. We also explored how effective air purifiers are, the factors to consider when buying one, and the effectiveness of masks, including which type of mask is the most reliable. Additionally, we talked about primary, secondary, and tertiary smoking, and how people exposed to smokers are at a greater risk of lung cancer than smokers themselves. Towards the end, we discussed the side effects of vaping, the damaging effects of air pollution on our brain and body, and the effectiveness of lung detox techniques. Dr. Kumar also shared exercises and tips for improving lung health, the early signs of lung cancer, and how entire families of smokers are at risk of cancer due to exposure to smoke.
