If You Drink Filtered Water, Should You Breathe Filtered Air?

Do you want to breathe in the healthiest, cleanest air?  Of course you should.  In the 1980’s everyone drank regular tap water until major companies started filtering and bottling water to sell.  Today, common knowledge tells us that drinking mainly tap water is a health hazard.  Research clearly demonstrates over 200 pharmaceutical drugs are in tap water along with heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and much more.    

In twenty years, air pollution in certain areas will be viewed the same as tap water today.  People will find it hard to believe that people were not using air filters for their living quarters.  Air pollution can be accumulating toxins in your body and setting the conditions for disease and cancer.  The World Health Organization now acknowledges that air pollution (especially prevalent in major cities) is causing many different types of cancer.  http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-air-pollution-causes-lung-cancer-20131017,0,981625.story#axzz2iToKoIbv  It is not just lung cancer where toxins build up and elimination is inadequate, but other types of cancer including bladder cancer.  I believe the link to bladder cancer is the body's attempt to eliminate toxins but due to inadequate water intake it can't properly flush the system clean.
Avoiding polluted air can be difficult especially if you live in a densely populated area.  High end air filters can be very expensive and sometimes require one for each room in your house.  I own high quality air filters and they work very well at cleaning up the air, but they came with a steep price tag.  Recently I discovered a low cost alternative that will clean the air you breathe very effectively.      

This Michigan University video below will demonstrate how to make your own air filter for around $25.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH5APw_SLUU

I suggest spending a little extra for a higher quality HEPA furnace filter.  I like this 3M brand “Elite Allergen Extra Reduction” HEPA filter.

I created this box fan filter to put in my laundry room/garage entry to test its strength.  After one month of use the air quality was much better.  As you can see how much dirt was filtered out of the air with the image below.  The HEPA filter is white and the circle of dirt is what is being filtered out of the air.  Imagine how many toxins were going into my lungs and burdening my body without this filter.

Ignore the awful blue colored tape, I used blue painter’s tape because it was the only tape I had at the time and I’m the only one that walks in that room. 

It is important to have at least one air filter in the place where you spend 1/3 of your life, your bedroom.  Breathing in clean air while you sleep is important to eliminate mold, bacteria, and toxins from entering your body.   This keeps you healthy, feeling young, and is important for anyone wanting to live the healthiest way possible.  
Anyone that has pets, especially cats should definitely have an air filter.  The most important area would be near the litter box in order to remove bacteria and toxins from the air.  Recent studies show that bacteria from cat litter boxes negatively impacts health. Not only is it bad for your lungs, (especially for asthmatics) but it also bad for your brain.  The toxic bacteria is linked to depression, anxiety and increased suicide risk.  
Remember to drink lots of filtered water throughout the day to help eliminate toxins that build up in our system from multiple sources.
