I sort of came to healthy living a bit late.

That’s because I wasn’t raised to be all that healthy.

My parents were both really overweight and they both died young due to poor health. When they died in their late 50’s, you’d have thought I would have taken notice and made some changes. But no, I was still sitting all day in the zone controlled HVAC of the office and coming home to sit all night in my own air conditioning. Mixed in there was way, way to much eating and of course, it was all processed and unhealthy food. There was no getting out of the air conditioning even for a walk. I just continued to get bigger, more out of shape and more sedentary. It finally took a health scare to get my head straight and make some changes. And changes I have made for sure. I’m pretty amazed with just how different I am in just a few years. It helped that I was cooped up at home in my own air conditioning due to the pandemic. This gave me the time to really dedicate myself to my health. And one of the things I learned was that our indoor air quality is very important to our overall health. This lead me to learn that I could make a small change to the HVAC equipment that would have great benefits for the indoor air quality. I simply changed the old air filters over to the HEPA filter. These remove more than 99 percent of airborne contaminants. And now, my house has much improved indoor air quality.
