Women's Heart Health

Women today have a lot to worry about, not the least of which is their heart health. Proper diet and exercise may not be enough to stave off heart disease in the later years, however. A recent study published in the New England journal of Medicine has found that air pollution in urban environments can be directly linked to pulmonary and coronary heart disease in women. In addition, since women have smaller blood vessels than men, women are more susceptible to pollutants getting deep into the lungs, causing inflammation that can eventually lead to heart disease and stroke.

But there is a way to combat airborne pollutants, if not outdoors. then at least indoors. Using a HEPA air purifier in strategic places in the home and office can remove at least 90% of indoor air pollutants. This is very important since studies conducted by the EPA have shown that indoor air quality is at times two to three times more polluted than outdoors. By having your indoor air cleaned of at least 90% of airborne pollutants, you are providing a healthy lifestyle and actually reducing your risk of contributing to lung inflammation, heart disease and stroke due to high concentrations of airborne pollutants.

There is no price that can be put on a woman's health, so luckily quality HEPA air purifiers are affordable and easily attainable. In fact, the EPA highly recommends that HEPA air purifiers be used in the home and workplace to make the indoor air in which we breathe healthy and clean.
