Keep allergens indoors, which can cause breathing problems and other illnesses.
For people who are sensitive to allergens or who have trouble breathing, the cold months (where ventilation is scarce as well as the spring season with the pollen it brings) can cause many problems. Thus during the winter, stagnant air and heating systems can increase the amount of dust particles that cause allergies. On the other hand with the arrival of spring many people, allergic or not start to show problems due to pollen from grass and trees.
"Most things that cause problems have no smell," says Dr. Nicholas BuSaba, associate professor at Harvard Medical University. "This means that in most cases there is no indicator that can warn of a possible problem." So only the symptoms that an allergic reaction can cause remain - such as breathing problems, fatigue, drowsiness or even digestive problems.
Improving air quality
If you pay a little more attention to the air quality inside the premises where you live or work, this can help you a lot in removing the allergy symptoms by improving your health and quality of life.
Even if you will not be able to eliminate 100% of allergens inside your home, you can reduce the number and exposure to them by making some simple changes. Below we will list some ways in which you can improve air quality and at the same time reduce allergy symptoms.
Cleanliness. A clean home is at the same time a healthier home. Thus good hygiene inside the house significantly reduces dust and animal dander (for those who have pets). When cleaning you should focus on collecting animal dander, cleaning signs of mold and dust:
- Vacuum carpets and other alleys at least 2-4 times a week. Make sure the vacuum cleaner is equipped with HEPA filters. Also a house with tiles or parquet significantly reduces the level of allergens compared to a house paved with carpets or rugs.
- Change and wash sheets and curtains regularly as well as upholstery on chairs or sofas as they tend to attract allergens (especially if you keep pets). The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology recommends that baths be done at a temperature of at least 60 ° C. In the market you can also find pillows and mattresses that are airy and anti-allergic as a good and recommended choice.
Mbajini bimët jashtë. Bimët janë pa dyshim shumë të bukura, por ato mund të grumbullojnë dhe të nxisin rritjen e mykut. Kështu përpos mendimit se disa bimë mund të përmirësojnë ajrin sepse çlirojnë oksigjen, ato përsëri mbeten faktorë që krijojnë alergji tek shumë njerëz dhe nëse vendosim në balancë të mirat dhe të këqijat, mund të themi se më shumë shkaktojnë dëme sesa ndihmojnë. Ndryshoni filtrat. Nëse keni një sistem kondicionimi, ju duhet të siguroheni që filtrat të ndërrohen ose pastrohen rregullisht pasi pluhurat e grumbulluara në to mund të riqarkullojnë në ambientet tuaja të brendshme.
Investoni në një pajisje për pastrimin e ajrit. Nëse jeni alergjikë edhe në mjediset e brendshme, por nuk mund të kontrolloni burimin e alergjisë – për shembull jeni alergjikë nga një kafshë shtëpiake të cilën nuk doni ta largoni nga shtëpia – mund të ndihmojë shumë një pajisje e pastrimit të ajrit. Ju mund ta vendosni atë në sallonin e shtëpisë suaj (ose në një pjesë të shtëpisë ku kaloni më shumë kohë) dhe kjo pajisje, sidomos ato me pastrues ionikë, do t’u ndihmojnë jo vetëm në eleminimin e grimcave të vogla të pluhurit dhe alergjenëve të tjerë, por edhe të eleminojë aromat, polenat, pushin etj, duke ju dhënë benefite afatgjata dhe duke shmangur mundësinë e sëmundjeve respiratrore dhe infeksioneve të ndryshme.
Moisture absorber for areas with high humidity. For damp homes you can also consider a device that absorbs moisture to prevent mold formation. These devices will also help you eliminate condensation that builds up on window panes, that caused by cooking, as well as helps with drying clothes. Also make sure the bathrooms are well ventilated and immediately remove any signs of mold from walls, showers, windows and frames.
Last but not least, ventilate your home every day. Even in the colder months, open the windows and allow fresh air into the premises where you live so that air can circulate in every corner because fresh air means good health.
