Indoor air can be 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. Petroleum-based candles, synthetic perfumes, mold, and mattresses release harmful chemicals that impair brain function. Jim Kwik explains what's actually in the air you're breathing at home.
Indoor air is generally 5 to 6 times more polluted than outdoor air, and sometimes as much as 100 times more polluted.
It's all around us, but do you ever take the time to think about the air that you breathe and how it's affecting our brains? Unfortunately, air quality is worth paying our attention for all the wrong reasons.
The majority of candles are made out of a petroleum wax. You're essentially burning petroleum in your home.
Perfumes, candles, mold, which is A big issue for a lot of people that people don't even realize.
I think mattresses are one of the worst things because again, people don't think about it.
Our guest today is Peter Spiegel. He is the founder and co-CEO of Ideal Living. It's a wellness company. We'll be discussing how air quality and a clean environment affect our brain health and our mental performance.
