Enhance your well-being!

Health and general wellness are closely tied together you cannot have good health without making wise choices, to help enhance your well-being.

Your well-being, is basically the way your live your life.  A few areas of wellness are:  Environmental, Emotional, Spiritual and Physical.   You need to make good choices that will enhance your well-being, this might include eating the right foods, exercising, breathing in clean air, getting enough sleep and taking vitamins etc...  Basically it means a healthy evenness and harmony of the mind, body and spirit!
One way we can enhance our well-being is by limiting the the toxic-chemicals and biological contaminats we breathe in daily.  We cannot totally avoid air pollution.  According to the Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA) the pollutants in our homes are three times more inclined to form some kind of cancer, then the outside air pollutants.
Here are a few examples of the pollutants or contaminats that  might or might not be in your home.  Ex. cigarette smoke, carpet, paint, some building materials, some of these materials give off chemicals. Ex.  Some furniture secretes formaldehyde.  Some other chemicals that might be in your home are ammonia and benzene.  According to the EPA indoor air pollution is perhaps two to five times higher and at times up to one hundred times higher than the outside air.
Some biological contaminats such as allergens, bacteria, molds, pollen, animal dander and etc... is very likely to increase inferior and inadequate air quality in your home.  Indoor air pollution is one of the most serious and important concerns in the US.  These biological substances when inhaled are associated with breathing problems.  When you exercise your lungs work harder and you will be inclined to breathe in deeper, which will mean the toxic- pollutants and or biological contaminates will be accumlated in the lungs.
Remember, before you start any exercise program, check with your Doctor first!!
If you Doctor states you can start an exercise program, you can also choose to have cleaner air in your home.  I have heard people say, I will just open my windows, this in fact will allow the entry of pollen, which is another allergen, as well as food for dust mites.

So make the wise choices in your life, God Bless and Be Well!
