Getting older is not going so well for me.
I’ve had to basically give up all the stuff I love in the name of good health. For the past two years, I’ve been changing so much about my lifestyle in order to get healthier. I guess it’s about time since I’m in my late 50’s. Still it’s not so much fun to give up hanging out all weekend inside the air conditioning. I’d get up to get my chores done and then head out to get my supplies. Then, it was into the recliner by early afternoon to then watch hour after hour of sports. Of course, I would down copious amount of beer, sandwiches and chips while I was doing it. That ended two years ago. But I have improved my health and I feel better for having done it. Yet recently, I learned that the air I breathe inside my home is also so important when it comes to my health and my immune response. I learned this when I went to the doctor with a head and chest cold that wouldn’t quite go away. The doctor suggested I get ductwork cleaning done by the HVAC professionals and then add a HEPA filter to the mix. I did just that and not only did that cold vanish, my respiratory health is noticeably better with clean air ducts and that HEPA filter. I was also quite impressed with how thorough and careful the HVAC professionals were during the ductwork cleaning and ductwork resealing. I have to say that I’ll be adding this to Spring cleaning each year going forward.
