Benefits of Cool Mist Humidifiers




 [Extracted from the web page of www.pondered.org]

Over the years, we’ve all seen the effects of concern about the environment. The quality of outdoor air has been a major concern for years, and responsible people do all they can to protect the air and the environment. Yet, these same people don’t think twice about breathing in polluted and poor quality air inside the home or the office. Often, the quality of the air indoors is worse than the air outdoors, and people are enclosed in small houses and offices, having to breathe in dry and polluted air.


Indoor air can be as polluted, if not more polluted than outdoor air, which means that it can be hazardous to our health. Everything from tobacco smoke to microscopic bacteria and dust particles can affect the indoor air, and this can result in ill health and damage within our homes. The type of heating used in the home can also create very dry air indoors, and, combined with other environmental factors, can contribute to pollution through increased bacteria, dust, and other hazards.


The dry air that can stem from these problems can result in a number of health issues such as colds and respiratory infections, dry skin, cracked lips, allergies, sore dry throat, dry nose, and a weakened immune system that is more susceptible to infections and illness. And it’s not just our health that can suffer from this dry air. It can also affect the interior of your home or office, leaving you with cracked and peeling paint, peeling wallpaper, cracked and damaged furniture, and static electricity.

Humidifiers can prove invaluable in the treatment of dry and polluted air. Humidifiers come in a range of sizes, styles, and types, and they can help to inject valuable moisture into the air. This should help to decrease the levels of dryness in the air dramatically, and will enable you to enjoy improved health, improved quality of air, and even an improved home interior. Humidifiers have also been proven to cut the levels of dust and bacteria within the home, again helping to eliminate the health issues and allergies that can result from the presence of these hazards.


You may live in a home that you assume is clean and healthy because it looks this way, but short of walking around with microscopes attached to your eyes, you’ll never realize just how polluted the air in your home might be. Many people continue to breathe in polluted air in the home or office and never do anything about it because they don’t think that there is a problem. However, humidity levels in a great many homes are far lower than they should be, and the adverse health effects caused by poor humidity can have a profound effect on health, particularly with the very young, the very old, and those with pre-existing allergies and conditions such as asthma or eczema.



You can select from wide range of humidifiers, such as baby humidifiers, portable humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and travel humidifiers. You can also select from cool mist humidifiers and warm mist humidifiers, both of which have their own benefits. A humidifier offers a practical and affordable solution to improving the air quality within the home, and can make a real difference to the air that we breathe within our homes and offices. Some of the benefits of using a humidifier include :
  • Reducing bacteria and dust particles from the air
  • Increasingy health and respiration
  • Improving the interior of your home through improved air quality
  • Enabling you to enjoy improved, cleaner air
  • Decreasing static electricity
  • Improving your quality of life at home

Cool mist humidifiers

The range of cool mist humidifiers includes single room machines, whole house humidifiers, console humidifiers, and multi-room machines. With these humidifiers the humidity is produced by air blown through a wick in water.


Warm mist humidifiers

The range of warm mist humidifiers includes portable machines or room humidifiers. These work by producing humidity through the use of boiling water.

Whether you select cool or warm mist for your humidifier will depend on personal preference and your current environment. You will also need to take budget and needs into account when selecting your humidifier.

What is Pterygium and Pinguecula ?

[Extracted from the webpage of www.healthscout.com] A pterygium is a fleshy growth that invades the cornea (the clear front window of the eye). It is an abnormal process in which the conjunctiva (a membrane that covers the white of the eye) grows into the cornea. A pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the white of the eye, most often on the side closest to the nose. It is not a tumor but an alteration of normal tissue resulting in a deposit of protein and fat. Unlike a pterygium, a pinguecula does not actually grow onto the cornea. A pinguecula may also be a response to chronic eye irritation or sunlight. Although pterygium and pinguecula sound like mysterious, arcane diseases, they are actually quite common, usually benign eye conditions. These lesions appear as a whitish-yellowish bump or fleshy "growth" on the exposed conjunctiva. If the bump appears only on the white part of the eye, it is called a pinguecula. If it appears to "grow" onto t...

Meatloaf on My Mind...

Lately, I've been thinking about meatloaf. Warm, comforting...home. Good meatloaf is one of those dishes that  brings back fond memories, and bad meatloaf is shudder-worthy at best.When made with care, meatloaf is a clean, wholesome food. A host of "traditional" meatloaf recipes use things like barbeque sauce or A1 for flavor - very low on the Clean spectrum of things. When I saw these three ( essentially ) clean meatloaves in this month's issue of Women's Day Magazine, I knew I'd be posting them. I can't wait to try them. If you do, please post and let me know how you liked it! Lamb, Balsamic & Sundried Tomato Meat Loaf Whether you use lamb or substitute it with beef, this recipe is a refreshing take on the usual, with sweet sundried tomatoes balanced out by heady rosemary. Serve it with couscous for a real Mediterranean feast. Active Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes Recipe Ingredients 1 lemon 2 large eggs 2 T bsp balsamic vinegar K...

Homemade Almond Milk ( Fast and Easy )

Making homemade almond milk is truly fast and easy. In fact, I made my very first batch of this creamy treat last week for the first time. It involved using only two ingredients: almonds and water, and had only four simple steps: soak, blend, strain, drink. After soaking, the entire process took me only 10-15 minutes. It was fun and tasted amazing! I'm sold on only making my own because store bought almond milk is stored in containers that are lined with plastic and plastic leaches estrogens into the food. And many brands add chemicals. My homemade drink tastes just as good if not better and I store it in glass. I've stopped buying plastic water bottles last year, but I didn't realize that cans and cardboard containers are lined with plastic as well. The convenience of buying containers of almond milk ( along with organic veg soup broth, canned beans, coconut milk) is exposing me to a continuous flow of estrogens which is linked to not only breast cancer but weight gain!...
