The Health Benefits Plus of Healthy Air

Healthy Air equals healthy lungs—breathing in clean air helps reduce the risks of developing future health concerns that may come about as a result of air pollution effects, like allergies, asthma, and even lung cancer. But there are more benefits where that came from!

From our hearts to our brains, Healthy Air is a shield that protects us from the dangers of air pollution effects—and we all deserve to experience its health benefits plus all its other perks. Discover some of the ways we can take Healthy Air beyond lung health and protect our planet and its people!

Protecting Our Hearts From Air Pollution Effects

Did you know that one in three Americans suffer from heart disease? It’s the leading cause of death each year, threatening those over the age of 65. Historically, when we consider the potential risks of heart disease, we weigh these three factors: High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a history of smoking. But as research continues, experts are discovering another potential risk: Air pollution effects.

Like lung health, heart health can suffer as a result of regular exposure to airborne pollution, like city smog and harmful particulate matter. In fact, previous studies found that long-term exposure to air pollution effects, like particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, ages our blood vessels more quickly. Over time, your antiquated vessels can lead to coronary artery calcium buildup, increasing your likelihood of having a stroke or heart attack. As a result, experts continue to tout the importance of Healthy Air for all so we can all reap the health benefits plus the heart care we deserve.

Minding Our Minds

Healthy Air is a no-brainer when it comes to protecting our minds from air pollution effects! Did you know air pollution has been known to cause chronic brain fog, which, in turn, negatively impacts our cognitive performance? From shared office spaces to afterschool homework struggles, several studies have found that poor air quality hinders our ability to stay on-task and maintain focus.

With indoor air nearly five times worse than outdoor air, there’s no telling what’s lingering in our offices and schools. A wealth of air pollution effects, like VOCs released from cleaning products or exposure to ozone in cities, can have us breathing in harmful particles that stunt success, limit thought, decrease imagination, and increase our risks of developing cognitive conditions like Alzheimer’s.

Eating right, exercising, and staying hydrated can help keep our brains going, but in order to take on the day and enjoy the health benefits plus brain-boosting perks, we need Healthy Air.

Combatting Inflammation

Inflammation when we experience an injury is one thing, but persistent inflammation can lead to negative health issues like depression and arthritis. And yes, this is just another result of air pollution effects.

For years, experts have studied the causes of chronic inflammation, including its triggers. In further exploration, they discovered a possible link between the quality of our air and increased levels of inflammation in our bodies. The results of one study even found that air pollution effects, especially ozone, can be a contributing factor to the higher incidence of developing long-term health conditions, like diabetes.

Prioritizing Healthy Air alongside regular exercise and healthy eating can protect vulnerable and healthy populations from air pollution effects worldwide!

Helping Kids Reach Their Full Potential

Years of research continue to underscore the profound impact poor air quality has on children. In fact, inhalation of fine particulate matter could increase the changes in childhood development issues, like ADHD or behavioral concerns.

Additionally, exposure to harmful air pollution effects during pregnancy can result in pre-term births and lead to long-term developmental challenges, like autism. With children, on average, breathing in 50% more air per pound than adults, this certainly underscores our need for health equity.

Health Benefits Plus Improving Our Moods

Healthy Air helps us maintain stress-free, happy, and healthy lives! When we are subject to air pollution effects, our inflammation increases, making us more susceptible to developing mental health struggles like depression.

When we breathe Healthy Air, we increase the concentration of oxygen in our blood so we can benefit from the release of serotonin (the happy hormone)!
