Minutes to a Healthier You . . .
Sometimes it's the little things we do to keep on track for optimal health that make a difference. Thinking about the quality of air you breathe in your own home takes but a minute or two, but can have a profound effect on your daily life.
Poor indoor air quality can affect your general health, causing allergies and respiratory problems.
How to Deal With Seasonal Allergies, Asthma and Exercise
Tis the season for seasonal allergies – ragweed, mold (from soggy leaves) and dust mites galore! When you suffer from itchy eyes and throat, sneezing, runny nose, or allergy induced-asthma, exercising your body is far from top on your list. Here are some tips to help allergy sufferers still get in a workout.
Pillow Talk
Is your pillow over 2 years old? If yes, you might be sleeping with a veritable zoo of mold, bacteria and dust mites. Not exactly the kind of pillow talk you want to engage in, is it?
Allergies and Humidity
Allergies are the worst. You know what I'm talking about if you suffer from itchy eyes, a runny nose, sneezing, and coughing.
Summer can be one of the worst times of the year because so many things are growing.
To Sprout or Not?
Anyone who eats raw sprouts, or lightly cooked mung bean sprouts, is at risk for exposure to E. coli or Salmonella bacteria. Seeds need a dark and moist environment to sprout, so the sprouting process provides ideal conditions for bacteria to grow.
Mold: WTF?
In most cases mold is just a nuisance. While most molds prefer warmer temperatures, they can grow in the colder range. Molds also tolerate salt and sugar better than most other food invaders, which is why you may find mold in refrigerated jams and jellies and on cured, salty meats - ham, bacon and salami.
