Learning about how essential good indoor air quality is to our bodies was yet another chapter in changing our lifestyle.
My wife and I finally took a hard look in the mirror and committed to addressing our health.
This was something that was way overdue. When the pandemic hit, I spent a whole lot of time just sitting in the recliner soaking up the air conditioning. And my wife was right there with me. All we did was sit in the HVAC cooling that spring and eat. Once we figured out that we were going to be home inside that air conditioning for a long time, it was the tipping point for real change. It just seemed like the absolute best time to get healthy. We were stuck at home and not inside the zone controlled HVAC of the office. So why not use the situation to change behaviors and get healthier. What started as daily walks to get out of the air conditioning for some fresh air rapidly led to additional changes. We put in a sort of home gym and started learning about how to change our diet. The better we felt, the more changes we were into making. Then, my wife learned all about the importance of indoor air quality. That too was a big change for us. Indoor air quality is simply as essential to good health as a good diet. We changed our indoor air quality in two phases. First, we replaced the cheap air filters with the HEPA filter. The HEPA filter is designed to remove more than 99 percent of all airborne contaminants. This made a difference that we could notice. But once we did that, we really wanted to go all the way with air purification. And now we have a whole home air purification system.
