Did you know that recent research has shown that humans can distinguish more than 1 trillion smells? The findings show that our sense of smell is much more discriminating than we once thought, says the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Given our noses’ ability to detect so many scents, it is not surprising that we are more comfortable in environments with pleasant odors.
As of September 2022, office attendance is hovering around half of what it was before the Covid-19 pandemic. This has been met with mixed reactions from workers and employers alike, with a trend toward workers wanting to remain at home and bosses wanting them back in person.
When your indoor temperatures start to rival the outdoor summer heat, it’s time to bring in some cooling reinforcements. Portable air conditioners can be an efficient, budget-friendly way to cool off a single room—they’re easier to install than window units and cheaper than most HVAC upgrades.
Taking care of our air quality reduces a huge burden on our bodies. Each particle of smoke or molecule of nitrogen dioxide that your body has to spend time dealing with is less time to solve problems that lead to disease.
It takes a lot of love and care to keep our furry friends happy and healthy—just think of how much time you’ve spent researching different pet foods, learning new training techniques, and browsing pet store aisles for their next favorite toy. Diet and exercise are important, but caring for your pet also means protecting them from unhealthy air quality.
A lot of us wake up before our alarm clocks without realizing it means we can keep track of time while completely asleep. Most if not all of us are capable of purposefully waking up by anticipating when it’s time to start the day, and it’s something that can be learned.
While some people are allergic to food or pets, when we say “allergies” it’s most often referring to the snuffling, itching, and sneezing triggered by exposure to plant pollen. The springtime might bring vivid flowers, green leaves, and growing shoots, but that comes along with pollen that makes many of us miserable for months on end.
Air quality is a factor in any game, but just how much can be hard to tell. Pollution can cause a wide variety of problems, including degrading athletic performance. Some doctors even recommend that people who live in cities avoid exercise during commute hours in the morning and evening.
Some of life’s best memories are made in the kitchen. Delicious food has a way of bringing people together, and a warm, inviting kitchen is the heart of any gathering. The trouble is when mouthwatering dinner aromas overstay their welcome, turning your sink, fridge, or trash can into a hazmat-suit-worthy biohazard.
A good weather app is essential for anyone who likes to plan ahead—from choosing an outfit for work to booking your upcoming vacation. Even a quick trip to the store can be impacted by the weather. (Lugging grocery bags around is certainly a much bigger task during a heat wave or thunderstorm than on a nice, cool afternoon.)
