Opening Windows May Help Your Health

According to recent studies, friendly bacteria that is found outdoors can fend off potentially deadly microbes that arise from air conditioning in ultra-sterile environments. The studies, by Jack Gilbert of Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, are meant to support the idea that air conditioning and an ultra-sterile space may contribute to infections. While we aren't saying air conditioning is dangerous, we're just sharing that fresh air is also an important element to your daily routine!

The study is supported by showing that open windows help to monitor the composition of microbial bacterias found on surfaces. Excessive use of antibacterial wipes and solutions can actually take away good bacteria, and therefore lose the protective elements that the good bacteria can provide in protecting you from the bad.

Just remember, wherever you are, getting outdoors and allowing fresh air to flow in to your lungs is an essential part of living healthy!
