Clean Air Indoors and Out
I wake up this morning to a toxic smell, likely coming from a navy ship that is currently burning off of San Diego. I can only imaging what toxic stuff is being released into the environment.

Hand Sanitizer Hazards: Why You Should Still Wash Your Hands
We saw a mad rush for hand sanitizer this year with concern about spread of germs due to the pandemic. But while hand sanitizer may be a good alternative when soap and water are not available, frequent use of hand sanitizer can create issues such as dry skin or dermatitis, alter the microbiome, expose you to hazardous chemicals, and in some cases it is just not as effective as washing your hands.

Sweat for Your Life: The Benefits of Infrared Sauna
Being sweaty hasn’t traditionally been regarded as a good thing (unless you’re a professional athlete). In fact, we’ve been told to do the exact opposite. Do you remember the ads like I do (OK, these are dating me...)? Want to be confident and secure? Don’t sweat. Want to be successful in your career? Never let them see you sweat. And for us ladies, make sure you’ve got something that’s strong enough for a man, but made for a woman! Now of course, having body odor is not a great thing. B…
