Feel Lousy All The Time?



Do You Feel Lousy And Don't Know Why?


    Do you wake up and just feel like you never sleep?  Not only that, the usual morning headache awaits you.  Yes you need a cup of coffee to get going but you feel no better.  Did you ever consider that you have chronic fatigue?  Probably too busy to even think about it.  You look at your life and wonder what can I change?  Lot of folks do not have energy because they eat infrequently and even too late.  Eat small frequent nutritious meals might get you on the right path.  Definitely fit in exercise even inside but preferably with a friend so it's not torture. So if you eat frequent small meals, exercise and get enough rest why do you feel like a slug?
     There may be an underlying condition that you are experiencing but you do not want to go to the dr.  Some docs will think that you are looking for attention.  But over time it justs keeps getting harder and harder to move.  What on earth could be wrong with me?  Maybe I need a new job?  You could.
     You probably have chronic headaches that you are used to.  Pain meds don't help so you suck it up.  There is something to consider on the radical side and that is mold exposure.  This is considered a 21st Century plague.  There are so many houses with mold. Over half of all buildings in the U.S. suffer from water intrusion:  mold according to NIOSH.  Does you basement have a bunch of stuff stored in cardboard boxes?  Carpeting down there?  Do you have a dehumidifier for basement running in the humid months?  If you don't you have a moldy basement.  All that porous stuff like cardboard boxes, wood, construction supplies,newspapers etc are moldy.  So, you open the basement door and those pesky mold stores visit and multiply on that cushy couch in the living room.  Mold migrates and grows in warm, dark, damp places.  It is amazing how many people never open their drapes to let the sun in.
     Mold makes you sick.  The longer you are around it the worse you feel.  It drains you of energy, chronic headaches which can be downright nasty.  Asthma and allergy symptoms can be caused or aggravated by mold.  Are you having a hard time concentrating or remembering things?  There are many conditions associated with mold due to a genetic flaw which I will blog on later.  How Mold Affects You
    4 step to feeling better:
1.  Run dehumidifier for basement in humid months.   Do not turn off. Prevent mold.
2.  Run allergy air purifiers through house to kill mold.
3.  Clean all surfaces with Borax and kill mold on surfaces.
4.  Hepa vacuum all surfaces to remove dead mold spores.            

Having a dehumidifier in your basement is a must to prevent mold.  Cleaning the air with air purifiers is also something everyone should do.  Use a quality hepa vacuum. Visit:  Amazon Store for all of these products.

It is obvious that you need to pitch anything that is moldy.  De-clutter you house and pitch as much as you can.  That is just more to clean. Need allergy air purifiers? Hit the sales link or feel free to stop at our online store.

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.
