So you have heard of sick offices, you would know that there are also sick homes. Yet, many people would stare in disbelief if you tell them that you are living in a sick home. The fact that indoor air is two to five times more polluted than outdoor air is somehow has not hit home yet. Sick homes can cause severe allergies and respiratory problems that could literally become fatal, as in the case of mold infestation. If detected early and rectified, no one at home should have to go through the physical and emotional trauma. An indoor air purifier is now fast becoming a basic essential in the home as windows and doors are often kept shut making ventilation very lacking.

Airborne pollutants can range from mold spores, bacteria, fumes, dust, pollens, virus, fumes and smoke. An effective indoor air purifier is capable of getting rid of 99.97 percent of all pollutants in the air. Preventing allergic reactions from stale and trapped airborne toxins is the obvious approach to healthy living. And although you might have guessed, a good indoor air purifier is the ultimate answer to constantly cleansed home air, you need to do more than having air purification systems at home to get rid of the deadly pollutants.

Nowadays, we have become so much used to all the pollution in our environment that we do not even realize that the air we are breathing is not clean for us. We are always surrounded by smoke, dust and other kinds of wind pollution that we do not even feel the fact that the air has lost its freshness. The only time we realize this is when we go to some rural area or a country where there is less pollution, and nature is in abundance. We have lost the feeling of living in fresh air because of the environment of our cities.

Since we all are living in cities, we do not really care anymore about the dirt and polluted air. We should at least give a thought to the fact that we are intentionally inhaling harmful things for our bodies. The allergies and breath related programs all are a result of polluted air. To save everyone from these environment related issues, IQ Air introduced IQ air purifiers. You can find there purifiers in all different sizes and designs.

Over the years I have found that the best way to keep my skin healthy is to use less detergent and to shield my skin from detergent if there is any possibility that there will be contact.

The skin on the scalp is also affected by strong shampoo. I have tried almost every shampoo from the supermarket and the chemist with varying levels of success. By far the best is to purchase shampoo from a salon and to use a fully qualified beauty salon. I found that I react to conditioner much more than shampoo and so I use high quality conditioner on the ends of the hair only.

Yes, enumbers in food can cause hyperactivity and if you don’t want to suffer from the stress of rearing a hyperactive child, you must start limiting his or her consumption of foods with additives. This is especially so for parents whose children are already extraordinarily active. Imagine the nightmare of rearing an extra- hyperactive child. No parent would surely want to take the challenge.

Through the years, there have been parents who claimed that e-numbers or additives have caused their children misbehave. A lot of them have observed that the consumption of food with different additives caused significant behavioral changes in their kids such as throwing more tantrums, inability to concentrate, and generally becoming hyperactive and restless. Since there are a lot of foods and drinks processed with the use of e-numbers, the food industry was quick to dismiss the parents’ claims. After all, who doesn’t use e-numbers these days?

Have you heard of ragweed allergy? Probably not, well, that is if you are living outside the United States, then it would be the first time you would have heard of it. It mostly affects residents in the U.S when in contact with a plant called Ragweed. Ragweed plants are weeds that grow throughout the United States. They are most common in the Eastern states and the Midwest. Usually, these plants are found along roadsides and riverbanks, in vacant lots and fields.

As August draws near, many American citizens develop seasonal allergy symptoms. Actually, it is the pollen in the plant that causes allergy to them. When a person is sensitive to pollen from the weeds, he is most likely will develop an allergic reaction when he inhales the pollen. And when this happens, ragweed allergy symptoms will develop quickly. These symptoms include runny nose, itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, and other allergic rhinitis symptoms.

When I am home, I find that I can manage my dermatitis really well. I find that when I am travelling, the job becomes a little more difficult. Everywhere I read about dermatitis, I found that it was affected by stress and so I put the flare-ups when travelling down to stress. However, I have found that by avoiding contact with detergents while travelling stops the problem. It wasn’t because of the stress at all.

The hand soap in public bathrooms is off limits for me. Highly perfumed and made cheaply, it makes my hand react badly. The recent flu pandemic made hand sanitiser widely available in small bottles that you apply with no water. I keep a little bottle in my hand bag.

Definitely do use both oral and topical steroids when you need them. However, I found that if I wasn’t also practising some self care, my condition would yo-yo from looking like it was clearing one day to flaring up twice as bad the next day. Self care includes caring for my skin from the outside as well as caring for my body from within.

I found improving my diet helped. I use the blood group diet. The great thing about the blood group diet is that you can learn the types of foods that your body needs more of and the types to avoid. I am AB+ and I am told this is a great blood group to have. However, I have found that I need to avoid red foods. Diets can be daunting, especially with a family. So, I changed first just one meal. I started with breakfast and through that change I had changed 1/3 of my diet. That is enough sometimes to tip the balance back toward good health.
