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.

5 Odd Places To Find Mold

 Since mold exposure is bad for your health, you must make sure that all mold in your house is gone.  All houses  have some mold.  You cannot get rid of all mold.  However, mold levels need to be as low as possible.  Obvious mold growth is a big time no.  You can review major places to find mold, for starters:  Basement Mold; Stop Mold In These Places

     Those are the big places that usually occur.  So clean them as if there is mold there.  Mold spores are invisible floating through the air.  When they are visible such black on a cardboard box in the basement, pitch the box.  Today's blog is on odd places to find mold. 

1.  The Cat litter:  Think about it.  You have absorbent product absorbing pee that is  warm, in a dark place (usually the basement) and damp because it is wet.  Mold can grow quickly within 25 - 48 hours.  For the double whammy, many folks with mold allergies also have cat allergy.  This needs to be cleaned every other day.  Another tip is adding baking soda to help kill the mold.

2.  The dog's dish:  You would not think of mold in the dog's dish.  But if you clean it every other month, chances are it will accrue mold.  Many dog's let their food in the bowl and do not eat it all.  Dog's dishes also come with a water bowl attached.  That can easily spill and end up under the dish undetected.  Move the dish when you clean.  Clean the dish itself at least once a week.

3.  Rotting leaves right next to your house:  if you leave them they rot and create leaf mold.  Open the windows to get that much needed clean air and you have mold blowing into the house.  Rake the leaves away from the house. Spring Cleaning To Kill Mold

4.  In the Refrigerator:  Food gets moldy also.  The mold on food also causes a reaction.  That mold is Penicillium.  As soon as you open the refrigerator, you let mold our into the rest of the house.  Clean your refrigerator at least once a week.  Pitch food that is old.  Check jars of food.  Start dating food if you are not sure how old the food is.

5. HVAC Ducts:  Condensation can form in the ducts.  These ducts must be cleaned to ensure that there is no condensation inside them.  If there is, when you turn on the heat, you are effectively blowing mold through your house.

Consider that 3 out of every 4 houses have an asthmatic patient.  Some homes have more than one.  It is amazing that traditional medicine is stuck on prescribing medicine and does not access environmental factors such as mold and indoor air pollution.  It is the goal of this blog for you to consider what environmental factors could affect the health of your family.  Do not blow off getting rid of mold.  Do not assume that your child's asthma and allergies are just caused by pollen. Mold aggravates allergies and can cause mold.

The steps necessary to stop mold and kill mold are:

1.  Dehumidify your basement with a basement dehumidifier.

2.  Use allergy air purifiers throughout the house.

3.  Clean all surfaces with Borax.  Pitch obviously moldy items.

4.  Hepa vacuum all surfaces after they have been cleaned.  Purchase a quality hepa vacuum.
