5 Little or No Cost Changes to Reduce Toxins in your home - Part 4
Get a Humidifier
This tip is kind of cheating-because it’s not actually removing toxins from your home BUT studies have shown it to reduce the ability of viruses to survive in your home.
In fact- there’s a study that shows Influenza and Covid viruses are not able to survive very long when the humidity in the air is between 40% - 60% !
A researcher in this study said - “A review of past peer-reviewed studies conducted over the last 70 years also showed that homes kept at 40-60% relative humidity-the optimal range, are likely to have fewer flu viruses lingering in the air and on surfaces like sink faucets, door handles, and countertops compared to lower relative humidity levels.”
Not reducing toxins but…..this time of year especially - I’ll take that!
It’s really important to remember to:
• use filtered - not tap water
• choose a cool mist option
• wipe down base and add fresh water with every use
Have you heard this before?? Share with a friend who’s been touched by Influenza this season!
