How Clean is The Air in Your Home?

     Something to ponder:  How clean is the air in your home?  Are you always feeling tired ,head stuffy, headaches, stomach upset, essentially lousy ...?  You probably blame it on allergies.  Because you are too busy to go to the doctor you take antihistamines and don't even realize that they do not work.
     There is a connection to the quality of air and your list of ailments.  Between organic contaminants like fungi(mold), germs, bacteria, viruses, and indoor pollution coming from the myriad of things you own such as carpeting, furniture, cleaning chemicals, constructions materials, shampoo etc. , the air is not fresh and invigorating.  Considering we spend over 90% of our time indoors, it is no wonder we get sick.  How about lighting up a cigarette in the house.  Over 4,000 chemicals in a cigarette. It blackens the walls and hangs out on the walls, furniture, ceiling.  Sixty- nine carcinogens exist in cigarette smoke alone.
     There are things you can do.  Carpeting is loaded with chemicals.  Replace with hardwood floors.  Limit your cleaning products.  Store as many chemical sand construction materials in the garage that can be stored.  Limit the beauty collection.  Throw out or donate things you no longer use.  Smoke outside away from children. Do not use any air fresheners.  A match works in the bathroom to eliminate odors.  Crack the bathroom window and leave the door open after a shower.
     Clean the air.  Newer technology in air cleaning is readily available.  Hepa filtration mold air purifiers are a must.  A powerful 99.97% of contaminants are removed.  Negative ion generators duplicate nature and produce fresh, invigoration air.  Ultraviolet air purifiers penetrate the cell walls or organic contaminants and destroy.  UAV purifiers are especially recommended for folks with asthma, COPD and any other respiratory problem.  Electrostatic air purifiers us the "corona discharge" creating an electromagnetic field to add a charge to atoms that pass through.  Since opposites attract, they bind together and fall to the floor or are attracted to the charged plates on the purifier.  Some companies sell purifiers with all the above components:  hepa, negative ion, ultraviolet air, and electrostatic air purifiers.
     Dehumidify your basement with a dehumidifier for basement to stop mold and other contaminants from growing in the basement.  Check the attic for leaks.  Some folks do not go in the attic for extended periods of time or not at all. Air quality is certainly effected by what is growing in the basement.  Take out any wet things out of the basement.  Check the roof and clean otu the gutters.  If the gutters get jammed with debris, ice dams form and water worked its way under the shingles and into the house.
     Open the windows and let fresh air in.  The air is cleaner outside except for the city.  Keep drapes open to let the sun in.  Small things make a difference to air quality.
     Use a only a hepa vacuum.  Older vacuums let what was vacuumed back into the air.  Hepa filtration is very effective at removing surface contaminants.  Empty vacuum outside.

4 Must Weapons To Kill Mold

              
     There are 4 absolutely necessary weapons that every household needs to kill mold.  You might be wondering if mold is a problem in your house.  Let's ask a few questions that will quickly make that assessment.  Is your basement wet?  Has your basement been flooded?  Do you use a basement dehumidifier in the humid months and leave it on?  Have you had leaks that it took you a long time to fix?  Are there any musty smells or black/white/green patches on walls or ceilings?  Does your bathroom ventilate well or does it stay wet really long?  If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you have mold.  While all houses have mold, this is referring to mold counts that affect health.

      How can mold affect your health?  Mold can cause or trigger asthma, mold allergy flare-up,allergies,  headaches, body aches, cognitive impairment, other respiratory problems, sinus headaches, and more.  Can Mold Destroy Your Health?  Mold affects the health of everyone in your house.  If you are the unlucky one, you can have a biotoxic reaction to mold that can have very serious health implications.  

     First weapon in fighting mold:

1.  Basement Dehumidifier:  Run a basement dehumidifier that can lower the humidity to around 50%.  This refers to the capacity of the dehumidifier and size of your basement.  For example, you may need a basement dehumidifier with a 70 quart capacity to prevent mold.  Because basements are below grade, the humidity levels are naturally high.  Mold grows in warm, dark, and damp places. Knowing how mold grows is key to preventing mold. This is a key point to remember.  Basements are the number one place to find mold according to the NIOSH. (National Institute For Occupational Safety and Health). Run dehumidifiers throughout the house as needed.  If you have wet crawl spaces, you need a crawl space dehumidifier.  There are other dehumidifiers designed to meet specific needs such as a room dehumidifier, whole house dehumidifier, and a portable dehumidifier. Use as needed.  Dehumidifiers are necessary to prevent mold in the first place especially in the basement.

2.  Allergy Air Purifiers:  To kill mold in the air, allergy air purifiers are the weapon of choice.  They are 99.97% effective in killing mold, bacteria, germ, viruses and fungi(mold).  Hepa filtration acts to absorb biological contaminants into the hepa filter.  Other components to consider:  ultraviolet air purifiers, negative ion generators, electrostatic air purifiers, and activated carbon filters.  Different But Necessary Components of An Allergy Air Purifiers  Clean the air of not just biological contaminants but also unwanted indoor air pollution which also affects health.  

3.  Clean all surfaces with mold removal products.  Once the basement door or any other place with mold opens up, mold spreads throughout the house.  Cleaning all surfaces with either a commercial mold removal product or Borax, will kill mold on surfaces.  This is a key thing to do.  You cannot let mold on surfaces.  It will cause unhealthy reactions

4.  Hepa vacuum all surfaces.  Once all surfaces are wiped down, a quality hepa vacuum needs to be used to suck up all the dead mold spores.  Dead mold spores still cause a reaction so they must be sucked up.  In purchasing a hepa vacuum, make sure that you buy one that will enable you to reach all surfaces including ceilings and walls.Hepa Vacuums To Purchase

It is obvious that all moldy materials need to be pitched as soon as possible.  Start in the basement.  Under no circumstances, should you carpet a basement.  The carpeting cannot stay mold free. The 4 steps above are essentials steps to kill mold, prevent mold and help your family breathe clean air.  Who know how many conditions you are preventing by taking these actions.  

The 4 steps are

1.  Run Basement Dehumidifier during humid months.

2.  Use Allergy Air Purifiers Throughout The House

3.  Clean all surfaces with Mold Removal Products

4.  Hepa Vacuum all surfaces.

13 Fun Ways For Kids To Stay Fit And Avoid Obesity

 
  Today kids have so many stimulating electronic things to do.  It is so easy to spend hours playing video games whether on a phone, computer or i Pad.  Now let's not forget TV.  Hours are still wasted watching TV.  With two parents working, raising kids that are active is a challenging task.  There are more and more kids that just do not go outside.  The statistics are frightening. There are more obese people including the elderly than previously thought.  You do not want your child to become this statistic. Providing opportunities to exercise is really important. Here is a video on obese kids and the road they face. Please watch.

                                                             
                                                           
     Here are some successful suggestions that you can incorporate.
1. Replace pop with Koolaid.  It still has sugar but a lot less than a can of soda.  If soda is not there, then they won't drink it. Encourage them to drink water.
2.  Buy exercise gifts for Christmas. At least one exercise gift a year. Do not mention that it is an exercises gift. Here are some fun suggestions:  Hula hoops, balls of all sizes and types,  badminton, wiffle ball and bat, chin up bar, Frisbee, punching bag and gloves, trampoline, water toys, sled, mini-trampoline, field guides, hiking equipment,binoculars, bikes, tricycle, darts. yard games. volleyball and net, soccer ball, scooter, skates, hockey sticks and puck, tennis racket and balls, water toys, bubbles, kids sprinkler, swing set, sand box and toys, Wii exercise games including bowling, tennis, dancing and other similar games, etc.  You get the picture.  Ask your kids: "how many times can you spin your hula hoop without losing it?"  Go out and watch. You try it yourself. Exercise is actually a family activity.  You are the example so you must be active too.  This cannot be emphasized enough. Here are some great backyard toys.
  
3.  Take the family for a hike.  There are many state parks and trails that are absolutely worth the drive to hike or bike. Wear old shoes if hiking in state parks.  Sometimes the trails can be wet .Before hiking get a park map at the office.  This will tell you how far you are going. Here are some cool nature toys.  If they own their own exploration toys, they will think it is cool to go hiking.
  
4.  Walk the dog as a family.  Find a wooded trail.  Dogs love to sniff around.  Exercise while enjoy the antics of you dog and children.  Let them climb trees.  You may have to catch them but sooner or later they need to develop strength, bone density, and muscle mass through exercise. Developing a love of nature is something that needs to be instilled in the young.
5.  Make your vacations active:  Even though you are exhausted from your job, your body is screaming for exercise.  It is the foremost way of stress release and a must for good health.  Go hiking and explore, swimming, body surfing, walk the beach, ride the rides and try not to sit, bike, etc.  Visit historical sites:  Niagara Falls, National Parks that are Natures's wonder:  Yosemite. Too many folks just sit while the kids try to go. There are folks that just sit in the hotel room and read. You can do that at home. Yes, you need to sit some but not for the whole vacation. Take what you need to explore areas. Bring the swimming floats etc if going to the beach.

6.  Avoid fast food.  For the most part, fast food is calorie rich, empty nutrition, and addicting. Go to restaurants that have vegetables and fruit.
7.  Avoid All You Can Eat Restaurants.  You just eat too much period. 

                                       
8.  Teach your kids how to ride a bike.  This is something every kid should be able to do.  Yet there are many kids that do not own a bike let alone ride one.The whole family should own a bike.  Bikes are used by people of all ages. These bikes are:1.Girls Bike  2. Boys Bike  3.Adult Mountain Bike. Going biking as a family is a great and fun way to check out different trails.


9.  Swimming lessons:  This is a necessary life skill.  Do not forget and sign up for local swimming lessons at an early age.  Everyone gets busy.  However, this is something every kid should know.  Buy the kids a swimming pass for summer or if an indoor pool is available buy a year pass and make sure they get there and you need to go when they are young and hop in the pool too.



10.  Sign your kids up for sports at an early age.  Yes, this is a huge commitment.  Yet this is where kids get exercise and meet friends that will probably stick together as long as your child continues in the sport.  Do not be critical but praise the effort.  Kids develop coordination at different times.  For example, my son lacked coordination at the age of 8.  My husband told me that he looked like "Yosemite Sam" from Loony Tunes" when he ran.. We never told him that. The soccer coach was encouraging.  Other sports were not.  He stuck with soccer and became an excellent player. Many parents have the rule that the child has to stick out the season.  Kids do not always know what they want.  They need a lot of encouragement that they are improving.  Focus on having fun not being the world's greatest athlete. If given the option, most kids want to quit. Some parents really do not want to run around so they let the kids quit. If that is the case, you failed your kids. Everyone is busy today.  Definitely go and have fun with the kids outside practicing.  Make it fun.
  
  
11.  Exercise yourself.  If your children never see you exercising, then they have the excuse that they don't feel like it.  What they are really saying is:  "Why do I have to exercise if you don't?"  When kids are young, its go outside and use the toys to play.  Children learn to be on-task through play.  They need to use their imaginations with their toys. Own your own exercise equipment and use on a regular basis.
    

12.  Do not be over protective. There is a theory that over protective parents help their kids to be obese.  I agree with this because we stop them from taking any chances as a child.  I have seen parents that will not let their 12 year old jump off the swings.  Wow!  I remember doing this a gazillion times as a kid.  Let them climb, jump, throw stones into the creek, sled ride, swim with you of course, ride a bike etc.  When they are young you have to watch them riding a bike and teach them the rules of the road.   When they are older promote exploration of town with a friend.  Sooner or later kids need to make their own decisions and be responsible for those decisions. While you can fall off the bike, band aids are needed for this reason.


    

13.  Make your kids spend time outside with friends. Encourage them that you will call a friend (when the kids are younger) and invite them over to play.  They should be able to catch a Frisbee, play in the sandbox, play in the dirt, (yes and get dirty!) swing on the swing set, play with the balls.  Sometimes you might need to get things started.  You play dodge ball.  If you get hit by the ball you are out. Bring out a snacks and some drinks so they stay out longer.  The benefits of fresh air are invigorating
