A study from Harvard University found that living in cities with high pollution, specifically PM2. 5 (microscopic particulate matter) can reduce life expectancy by 2-3 years. So what is the take away? Reducing your exposure to airborne pollutants, both outdoor and indoor, could extend your life in measurable ways
We spend about 90% of our time indoors. We are not designed to live indoors. We need fresh clean air for our bodies to flourish.
The air we breathe effects our health. Use bad air we don't live as long. Use clean fresh air you live longer.
This is not made up, it comes for many research papers and analysis completed over long periods of time.
With the correct ventilation in your home and workplace this will allow your body to manage the air quality as if it was using exterior air. Albeit the exterior air in some circumstances can be of poor quality modern ventilation systems can filter the incoming air to remove some pollutants. The air your body needs is a consumable as is water and food. We are careful with consumption of the water and foods as we can see, feel, touch and taste the quality. Air is somewhat different as we cant determine the quality until it is exceptionally bad for us. The human body has not developed this skill as it was never required in our development. But as the human race has developed at an exceptional speed and pollution with air quality has deteriorated we have to assist the body with an proactive approach to the air we allow into our bodies.
