Is ‘Dirty’ Air DESTROYING Your Heart?!
When it comes to ‘dirty’ air – or even air pollution – and your health, what comes to mind?
Coughing… sneezing… allergies… asthma or other respiratory issues?
Those are all certainly things that can happen if you breath in dirty air on a consistent basis.
But did you know that the air you breath also is connected to your HEART?
If you didn’t, you’re definitely going to want to pay attention to this…
Because a new study has found that the air quality that surrounds you could have a major impact on your overall heart health.
According to a study recently presented at a meeting of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), prolonged exposure to common air pollutants could trigger cardiac arrest!
Cardiac arrest is NOT a heart attack, but an abrupt loss of heart function, breathing, and consciousness… which requires immediate CPR, use of a defibrillator, or other emergency procedures.
The study found that the number of cases of cardiac arrest rose as exposure to air pollutants increased – showing that heart health and air quality do go hand-in-hand.

This Food Could Be Growing Deadly Tumors
The pollutants that could lead to an increased risk of cardiac arrest include tiny particles called PM10s and PM2.5s and gases such as nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and benzene.
I know the phrase ‘air pollution’ may be a trigger word to many folks – and my intention is not to incite a climate change debate.
This is simply a research-based finding that the better air quality you can be around, the better it is for your heart health.
I also realize that air quality isn’t something you can always ‘control’ … but there are easy steps you can take to make the air around you as clean, and pollutant-free as possible.
One of the best things you can do ensure quality air in your home is investing in an air purifier. Air purifiers can help eliminate dust, debris, and other harmful particles… and many models these days run very quietly and efficiently so you’re not surrounding by loud noises.
You should also regularly change the air filters in your home’s heating and cooling system. Home improvement stores sell all kinds of quality air filters that help trap pollutants from going through the heating and cooling vents in your home. And with fall in full swing, now is a great time to change your filters.
