4 Reasons Respiratory Problems are on the Rise!1) ?Couch Potato Generation' ? kids weigh more, exercise less and spend more time indoors.2) Too much antibiotic use - Immune systems never get much opportunity to fight infections, and then react abnormally to airborne contaminants.3) Air Pollution ?

Cars and factories now have stricter controls on emissions but the problem is still there.4) Indoor Air Pollution ? 20 years ago no one ever heard of Indoor Pollution! Since the Energy Crisis in the 70's, buildings became more energy efficient. This meant all pollutants became trapped inside. Many of the items we furnish our home and school with are outgassing contaminants continually.
Carpeting, curtains, cleaning products, particleboard furniture and more! With people spending 90-% of their days indoors, this becomes a problem!7 Things You Can Do To Protect Your Kids from Allergy & Asthma Reactions!1) Watch for days when pollen counts are high and restrict vigorous exercise on hot days.2) Avoid Wood Stoves and fireplaces in the home and NEVER allow smoking in the home of an asthmatic.3) Keep pets out of the bedrooms.4) Make sure kitchen, bathrooms, and basement are well ventilated to cut down on mold in humidity.5) Put pillows and mattresses in allergen-impermeable covers to cut down exposure to dust mites.6) Use non-toxic cleaning products and avoid perfumes and scented products.7) A filter-less air purifier is highly recommended since a filter can only capture a small portion of allergens.To learn more about products for a healthier indoor environment, please visit my website at www.myhealthysolutions.com or register here for my monthly issue of My Healthy Solutions?an online newsletter to help you and your family with allergies and asthma at subscribe@myhealthysolutions.com ..
A Guide to Memory Foam Mattresses
The problem with many mattresses is that they just don't fit your body. They are either rigid and resist the curves of your shape or they are overly soft and "give way" beneath you. The memory foam mattress was created in answer to this problem.
Memory foam is a material that is designed to be "viscoelastic." This means that it will conform to your body, but it also has the ability to return to its original shape if forced. This material molds to the body, offering support and relieving pressure where needed.
If you are shopping for a memory-foam mattress at a discount and you don't mind shopping online, check out Overstock.
