Top Quality Air Purifiers and Healthy Home Solutions that You Can Trust

Artists often need a fair number of supplies, pieces of equipment and tools in their studios to create their art. One piece of equipment that many artists don't think about, though, is an air purifier. Believe it or not, an air purifier can protect you from dangerous contaminants that are present in many studios. Here's what you need to know about air purifiers for art studios and what units are best for the health-conscious artists out there.  

Why Should You Use an Air Purifier for Your Art Studio?

  Odd as it may seem, an artist's studio can have many different impurities in the air. Turpentine and other solvents used in oil painting give off fumes that can be harmful with enough exposure. Artists who use spray paints are by definition releasing aerosol chemicals into the air. Epoxy and resins commonly used by artists release powerful fumes. Even paint itself releases odors, which can make the studio difficult to work in, especially for artists who are sensitive because of asthma.  

What Kind of Air Purifier Do You Need?

  Air purifiers for art studios first and foremost need to be able to remove chemicals, odors and fumes. For this, carbon filtration is needed. Some of the air purifiers that are best equipped to handle heavy fumes include:  

•   Airpura G600
•   EnviroKlenz
•   Field Controls TRIO
•   Amaircare 3000 VOC

  Be aware that not all types of art have the same effects on the air. If you are a sculptor, for instance, you may have particulate matter in the air of your studio that requires a HEPA filter to remove. If you do several different types of art, try to select an all-around air purifier, such as the Field Controls TRIO, that will remove a wide range of contaminants.   Have questions about what air purifier is right for you?

Although we usually highlight the health benefits of air purifiers here, they aren't the only personal appliance that can help you live a healthier life through improved air conditions. Aside from just being clean, it's also important that the air you're breathing has the right moisture content in it, which is why we recommend personal humidifiers as a way to improve the air in your home. Here are some of the major health benefits of humidifiers that you should be aware of.  

Better Skin

  Dry air can cause your skin to dry out quickly, a fact that many people notice most strongly in the cold months when air tends to hold less moisture. By using a humidifier in your home, you can help keep your skin moist and healthy through the winter.  

Less Dry Mouth and Irritation in the Mornings

  Do you sometimes experience the unpleasant feeling of waking up with your mouth completely dry and your throat feeling irritated? Although this sensation can be caused by many things, one of the more common causes is sleeping in a room with air that is simply too dry. Overnight, the dry air can dry out your mouth and throat, leading to irritation. A humidifier in your bedroom can help to solve this problem by keeping the relative humidity in your air higher.  

Lower Chances of Catching the Flu From Your Family

  One of the most interesting health benefits of humidifiers is their potential ability to reduce your chances of getting influenza. At least one study has demonstrated that, up to a certain point, higher relative humidity levels correlate with reduced chances of an infected person spreading the flu to others through coughing. If you live with other people, using a humidifier to keep your air from becoming too dry may help to keep one infected person from getting everyone else in your household sick.   These are just a few of the health benefits of humidifiers.

The gift giving season is finally here, meaning it's time to start thinking of good present ideas for your friends and family. In recent years, health-conscious gifts have become increasingly popular, leaving many people looking for healthy gift ideas for their loved ones. To help, we've put together a list of six gifts that are sure to please any health nut. Here are our top six healthy gift ideas for the 2018 Christmas season.  

  A Subscription to a Local CSA Service

  One of the most popular trends in the organic food world at the moment is the CSA model, short for community supported agriculture. CSAs offer subscription-like shares of a local organic farm, in which consumers are given fresh, healthy produce on a recurring basis in exchange for a certain amount of money paid either up front or in regular installments. A CSA subscription is a gift that keeps giving for the health-conscious person in your life, as he or she will receive healthy vegetables over and over again from it. Buying into a CSA is also a great way to support small agriculture in your local area.  

  A Few Sessions With a Personal Trainer

  If you have a friend of family member who has been trying to improve his or her fitness, a few sessions with a personal trainer can be an ideal gift. Even without paying for long-term personal training sessions, your gift can give your loved one access to personalized advice and fitness tips that he or she may not have received otherwise. Be sure to ask people you know and trust for trainer recommendations, as you want to be sure you are buying sessions with a knowledgeable professional.  

  A Home Air Purifier

  One of the best healthy gift ideas is a home air purifier that will give your loved one the gift of clean air each and every day. Residential air purifiers can remove dirt, dust, pollen, mold spores and gaseous contaminants from home air, helping your friend or family member live a healthier life as a result. Some types of air purifiers can even eliminate viruses and bacteria, thereby reducing the chance of illness. If you're interested in buying a home air purifier for a friend or family member, you can check out our complete selection of residential air purifiers or contact us directly for personalized product recommendations based on the recipient's needs. If you'd prefer to let the person receiving your gift pick one out, we also offer gift certificates.  

  Nutritional Supplements

  Nutritional supplements can make great healthy gift ideas, though you'll need to do a bit of research to find the right supplements for the person you're buying for. If you're looking for high-quality, all-natural vitamins and supplements, a Shaklee membership can make an excellent gift.  

  Athletic Gear

  For exercise enthusiasts, new workout gear is always a welcome gift. Healthy gift ideas in this category can include apparel, such as gym clothes or running shoes, as well as actual exercise equipment. Be sure that you find out what kind of exercise the person you're buying for prefers, as that will help you choose a better gift.  

  A Personal Juicer

  Many people who pursue better health through improved diet, exercise and lifestyle eventually find themselves wanting to juice fruits and vegetables for healthy, nutritious drinks. There are many personal juicers on the market for this exact purpose, any one of which can make a good gift for someone who is trying to live a healthier life. This healthy gift idea also makes a good complement to a CSA subscription, as the person you're buying for will have access to a routine supply of healthy organic vegetables for juicing.   These are just a few of the many healthy gift ideas you can use for your own gift-giving this holiday season. If you have someone on your list who is looking to live a better and healthier life, consider one or more of these gifts as a way to help and support that person.

The holiday season is just around the corner, and as usual, there are many different preparations that need to be made. Although cooking, buying gifts and decorating are likely at the top of your holiday to-do list, one thing that you should add to it is buying an air purifier before the holidays get into full swing. Here are three great reasons to get an air purifier for the holiday season.  

  1. It Will Help Visiting Relatives Breathe Easier

  Most families try to get together during the holidays, and many even travel to pay extended visits. If you have older relatives or family members with asthma coming for the holidays, having an air purifier is an easy way to make sure they can breathe easily during their visit. Of course, this benefit also extends to you, and your air purifier will help you breathe better long after the holidays are over.  

  2. You'll Be Less Likely to Get Sick

  The holiday season is among the worst times of the year to get sick. Using the right air purifier, you can protect yourself from the many viruses and bacteria that typically cause winter illnesses. For this application, though, you'll need an air purifier that features a UV germicidal lamp, as standard HEPA filters can't easily catch tiny pathogens.  

  3. You Can Have a Real Christmas Tree Without Worrying About Air Quality Issues

  For many people, the smell of a real Christmas tree is an integral part of celebrating the holiday. The problem, though, is that many people respond poorly to the pine pollen and mold spores that often come with real pine trees. With an air purifier, you can remove these contaminants from the air and prevent them from ruining your holiday season.   The holidays are already coming up quickly, so now is the perfect time to find the right air purifier for your home. If you have questions about which air purifier would be best for you, please feel free to contact us for answers and personalized product recommendations.
