Nature: Unfiltered

AIR

You may wonder why I would do a post on this, people aren't scared of air! Well, not most people anyways. What I want to address is not the fear of air but the actual air quality. Your body is basically a filter for the air around you; the dust, the bugs, the pollutants. Now you're scared of air right? You shouldn't be. Our bodies are resilient. 

But there is still an issue. As resilient as our bodies are, having to filter out the harmful pollutants of our modern day environment can take its toll on our health. This is especially true of people who still use chemical cleaners, every time you clean with them chemical particles end up floating around in the air and then you breathe it in. This can weaken and damage your lungs. There are also chemical pollutants in the air outside, especially in crowded city areas. These can be from cars, chemical plants, pesticides, etc. 

So how can you avoid all this? 

The best thing to do is make your home your sanctuary. Ditch the chemcial cleaners and opt for more natural options. Open your windows and doors to let cleaner air circulate through your house. Buy a high quality air filter to get rid of dust particles, pet hair, and any pollutants that make it inside. 

Now you may be wondering why I would advise opening windows when the air outside can be so polluted... The fact is the air outside, in most cases, will be 10-100 times cleaner than the air inside. The air inside is full of dust, pet hair and other particles all of which have been recycled multiple times throughout your house. 

The fact of the matter is, we need air. Its all about getting the best quality air you can. The more rural your surroundings the better. If you live in a crowded area your best option is to buy a high quality filter, open your windows, and get out to a more open area as often as you can. Breathe deeply!
