If you live near or in a city, you are in need of air purification as part of your efforts to live younger longer. The air you intake is more polluted than ever because of second hand smoke, combustion and biological pollutants, household products, lead, radon, asbestos and formaldehyde.

With the push for homes to become even more air tight and well insulated for better energy consumption, there is an increase in the number of pollutants you inhale. Radon gas, formaldehyde emissions from carpet, plywoods and cabinets all contribute to home pollution. People who use nonstick Teflon cookware show higher levels of chemicals in their blood. Often times sheets are treated with a formaldehyde finish so checking to ensure they are untreated is well worth the effort.

Using too many disinfectants affects the body’s immunity. You may want to open a window while cleaning with these products and/or use a vent fan. Long term exposure to these pollutants may lead to serious health problems such as respiratory distress, heart problems, kidney issues, coughing, sneezing, dizziness and aging.

Aging skin is one of the results when mucous cannot be moved from the body, and these toxins penetrate the blood stream. Then your skin can experience acne and other forms of skin damage.

Air pollution can cause oxygen exhaustion and lead to faster aging.  Having an air purifier in your home is one way to provide protection from a large number of pollutants while helping you live younger longer.

Have a fun and successful day,
