Healthy Families: Is Clean Air The New Secret Weapon?

You've seen pictures of healthy families with smiling faces, babies with red cheeks, etc. Do they have secrets to good health? Are the parents 'better parents'? Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing many healthy families understand is the importance of clean air with regard to reducing or preventing asthma, allergies / allergy symptoms from plaguing their kids.

Long before a baby is born, many health-conscious families know that baby development relies heavily on the quality of what the mother eats, drinks...and breathes. Chemical residues from household cleaning materials, paints, carpets, solvents, and other products, even in small amounts can build up and end up affecting the development of a baby, if these things are present in the mother's food, water, or air. And if there is smoke in the house, or if the mother is in smoky environments, the baby has a whole new list of carcinogens and damaging chemicals to deal with. It amazes me that many parenting classes do not cover the subject of maintaining clean air before and after the child is born to prevent illness / birth defects.

What's the big deal? Once permanent developmental damage is done to a developing baby, it's done. The child may now have physical, mental or learning disabilities for life. Fortunately, this is a problem that's preventable by making sure you and your child / baby breathe clean air, either by avoiding polluted air, using an air purifier, or both.

Once a child is born, they still do not have a strong immune system for 1-2 years. Other household contaminants like mold, radon, bacteria, viruses, dust mites can not only hurt development, but they can make the whole family sick. Single parents, who have even less time in a day, would be well-advised to make sure the indoor air clean to prevent things excessive trips to the doctor for allergies, allergic rhinitis (allergies/runny nose), asthmatic bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchial tube tissue plus asthma symptoms), allergy eye drops for kids, etc.

Dealing with allergies, asthma, bronchitis, rhinitis, etc in toddlers / children in general is very time-consuming, expensive, and much of it simply would not be an issue if the child was not breathing dust, bacteria, viruses, mold spores and more in the home they live in. Did you know that every gram of household dust has about 200 dust mite 'animals' in it, and this is responsible for 60% of allergy / asthma cases worldwide?

This is as much of a health article for adults as it is for kids. Healthy families take actions to prevent the things that cause health problems, and one of the single best things you can do to prevent allergies / asthma for you and your child, and / or safeguard your unborn baby and its development is to get a quality air purifier that can remove airborne allergy/asthma causing particles and chemicals, such as the Austin Air Baby's Breath for babies / toddlers' rooms and the Austin Air HealthMate Plus for main living areas.
