How much time do you spend indoors? Don't forget working, sleeping, driving,etc. Do you feel at the top of your game? Are you often sleepy during the day? Do you have periods of low energy? Headaches? Are allergies bothering you while you are indoors? Do you wake up often during the night? Do you use or have you been told that you should consider a CPAP device? Do you or members of your household get colds, coughs or other respiratory issues often?
If any of the above... or perhaps a host of other things are interfering with the quality of yours or your family's lifestyle, maybe the problem is your indooor air quality (IAQ)
It is said
that the average American spends nearly 90% of their time indoors. A survey conducted by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that people
in the United States spend 87 percent of their time in an indoor environment.
Of this, 69 percent of their time was spent at home, and 18 percent was spent
in some other type of indoor venue, such as at a place of work. The survey
results were based on responses by 9,000 people in the continental United
States.
The EPA also claims that indoor air pollution can is most often 5-10 times more polluted than outdoor air. In extreme cases according to the EPA, indoor levels of pollutants might be as much as 100 times the levels found outside.
Have you noticed that when you go outdoors, the air is somehow different? It seems that you breathe better, feel better, are less lethargic and just seem to enjoy life better. The air just seems to feel better! If you have ever vacationed in a mountain cabin or gone camping have you noticed that you sleep better, wake up more energized, and have a better appetite? Why do you think that is? Do you think the air is CLEANER or MORE PURE?

The truth is that actually it NOT clean, and it is
NOT pure! Think
about it, in nature, there are all sorts of things that get into the air. Many of the same kinds of things that we
mentioned that contaminate indoor air.
There are pollens, fumes and particles from decaying animals, minute
particles from animal feces, odors from a variety of things like decaying
vegetation and those animals, and, of course, dust!
So what is the difference? Why does outdoor air feel and act so
different? Well, in nature, the air is Fresh and
Organic! What does that mean? To start with, nature is in perfect balance. Nature freshens the air using the
interactions of the sun, water vapor in the air and the mix of other gases and
elements occurring naturally in our atmosphere.
The major effect of all of this is that this ENERGIZES THE AIR! Part of this action is that our atmosphere creates hydroxyl radicals
which are the “atmospheric scrubbers” and a mix of positive and negative ions,
and combination of these interacting with those other gases I mentioned create
peroxides and other components which continually move through the air and
attach to molecules of the pollutants it finds in the air and changes them on a
molecular level into something different. They also cause particulates even very, very
small ones to clump together and get heavy enough to fall out of the air.
The major difference in outdoor air and why it feels so different is this energy that outdoor air has. That is why you feel so much better when you
are outside in fresh organic air. Man
and animals were designed to live outdoors! Our bodies were designed to thrive in an
environment where there were things in the air, but they deal with those
particles and impurities and because we breathe fresh energized air that
affects our body’s and immune system’s ability to deal with them. This energized air causes our body’s to
produce things like mucous that help trap and move the impurities out of our
body.
Okay,
by now you are probably thinking “what does all this have to do with breathing,
sleeping and living better indoors”? As
mentioned, we spend nearly 90% of our time in an indoor environment.
Here
is the answer to that question: Indoor
air rapidly loses its’ energy. It gets
stale, oxygen content gets reduced, and it loses the ability to reduce and
eliminate the pollutants in the air. In
addition, with people and animals breathing and expelling carbon dioxide into
the air, your blood oxygen level starts to diminish and you get sluggish, lose
mental acuity, start feeling stuffy and generally less well. When your blood oxygen level goes down your
brain, which needs about 20% of the oxygen you take in doesn’t get enough and
those things just mentioned are the result.
You
don’t breath and sleep well because when that energy we talked about isn’t
there we don’t function well. Our immune
system doesn’t operate efficiently.
Among other things we don’t produce enough of the right kind of
mucous. We have always thought that
mucous was a bad thing. In fact, it is
extremely important to many systems in your body, but especially important to
your respiratory system. Your mucous is
supposed to be clear and thin so it can trap and then transmit pollutants up to
your upper respiratory system so your body can expel them. Without the energy in the air the mucous in
your body gets thick and sticky so it can’t get rid of the pollutants, it clogs
up your alveoli and prevents them from transferring blood from your lungs to
your blood stream for transport to your heart and other organs. In addition to the lack of blood to the
brain, if your heart doesn’t get enough oxygen bad things happen.
We
used to live and work in buildings that had plenty of airflow from outside,
giving us more outdoor air. Now, we live
and work in energy efficient buildings that are close to being airtight and
very little fresh outdoor air gets in.
The air gets oxygen deprived and stale very fast and all those
pollutants we discussed at the beginning of this article build up equally fast.
So what is the answer to this? It is simple. We need to make indoor air more like natural, fresh, energized, outdoor air! Sounds simple but just how do we do that? We NATURALIZE it! What does that mean?

The dictionary defines the verb to naturalize as
“to make like nature”! In the past,
people have tried to treat indoor air by filtering
it or purifying it. That means trying to take things out of the air.
As we have discussed, that is NOT what happens in nature. Nature energizes the air and changes the offending pollutants molecularly into a
different, harmless molecule. Filters
and purifiers only do part of the job and that not very well.
There is a product called the Air Naturalizer™
by AirRestore which replicates electronically what nature does outdoors. This small unit (only 4½” tall) continually energizes
and interacts with the existing ambient air to create the same components used
by nature to continually search out and attach to the molecules of pollutants and change them into
different, harmless molecules. It also
removes odors and kills germs and bacteria in the air and on surfaces just as
nature does.
It
uses no filters and no chemicals to do this.
It has a small, quiet fan that continually pushes the hydroxyl radicals,
peroxides and a balance of negative and positive ions out into the air just as
nature does outside. Each of these small
units is capable of covering up to 800 square feet of space. A Whole Home System consisting of four
individual units placed where needed will cover a home or office of up to 3200
square feet.
The Air Naturalizer “Restores the Energy to Indoor Air to make it act like Fresh Outdoor
Air”!
This amazing system is in use in thousands of
homes and is incredibly effective in making your home or office space fresh,
healthful, odor free and energized.
It is
available as a Single Unit, a Studio Pack, consisting of two units or a Whole
Home System with four units from Green Health Technologies. Visit their website to learn more or to order
your system and begin breathing better, sleeping better, and living a better,
more healthful life….INSIDE!
It’s great in your work environment too. You or your employees will be more productive
and alert. No more sick building
syndrome. Business’s report better
employee morale and lower absenteeism due to illness when Air Naturalizers are
used in their work spaces.
