The Air We Breath is
Polluted....
The Air in Most Homes are 5-10X worse
than the outside Air!
These are not our statistics, but that of the EPA!
I.A.Q. Three little letters, one huge
issue. I.A.Q. is an acronym for a scientic term that did not exist 75 years ago. It stands
for Indoor Air Quality.
Indoor Air Quality is one of the most
complex health issues confronting every person living and working today. Recent research
has found that the quality of air in our homes and offices is often 3 to 5 times worse
than the outdoor air. If you stop to consider the amount of time spent indoors, you
quickly realize just jow big a threat to your health indoor air quality really is.
No matter what your relative state of
well being, breathing clean air is the greatest single health benefit you can afford
yourself. There is nothing more important to one's well being than the body's immune
system.
Clean air and the body's immune system
are inextricably linked. Breathing clean air affords your immune system the time it needs
to rest and rejuvenate. Just as you need sleep, your immune system needs to rest in order
to function properly.
In the modern times, our indoor air is
more polluted then the outdoor air. And we know how increasingly dangerous that's become.
Consider how much time we spend indoors. Please don't be fooled by where you are living;
whether in the clear blue skies of a mountain range or an apartment in some office tower,
the air inside your space is polluted. Toxic substances introduced to your environment go
unseen and yet they pose the single greatest threat to your health.
If you are sleeping or working in a
polluted environment, your immune system never gets a chance to rest up. This causes a
decrease in the efficiency or performance of your immune system. This in turn can make
life pretty miserable. In certain cases it can even become life threatening.
The scientific evidence being generated
today links air pollution to conditions you may expect: allergies, chemical sensitivities,
fatigue, asthma, bronchitis, and the like. But recently the medical community has been
able to clearly establish a direct link between air pollution and heart attacks.
Poor indoor air quality is a growing
problem causing and aggravating many illnesses.
Quote:
"We spend about 90 percent of our
time indoors and that's where the air could have the biggest impact on Canadians'
health," says Kenneth Maybee, vice-president of the Canadian Lung Association.
"Poor indoor air quality can contribute to a number of serious health problems,
including lung disease and chronic respiratory infections such as emphysema and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease. It also contributes to colds, bronchitis, allergies and
asthma, which has increased fourfold in the last decade."
Doesn't your family deserve to breathe clean air? |
