You probably don’t often think of air quality until something big happens like a wildfire or bad air day warnings. For myself, air quality was a big topic when we were stuck indoors for days due to forest fires. The air quality was so bad we could barely see the park trail up the hill from us. If you live in the Pacific Northwest or California, you probably also remember this.
What does air quality have to do with autoimmunity and detoxing? Well, since we breathe about 3,000 gallons of air each day, it seems like a likely contributor to our toxic load don’t you think? As I’ve mentioned here toxins absolutely contribute to the development of autoimmune disease. Particularly when our toxic load becomes too much for our body to effectively detox it.
Happily, since the creation of the Clean Air Act, air pollution has slowly been improving. But has it improved enough?
In this week's podcast, I share three indoor air contaminants that impact your health and how to reduce them.
Fine Particles
Molds
Carbon Dioxide
