Ionic Air Purifier - Imitating the Natural Purifying ProcessWritten by Matt West
The modern housing trend has enormously denied you ecstasy of inhaling purely fresh air. You feel energetic and truly alive in a clean environment. If you ever had chance of thriving near or around mountains, rivers lakes and trees, you would feel air of these regions is less polluted. The locale is richly endowed with negative ions that act as purifying agents. To get same purifying effect you can have ionic air purifiers in your well-insulated home. Ionic air purifiers belong to group of air purifiers with a unique technology of using ions to trap pollutants. In natural surroundings, air is filled with thousands of negatively charged ions that attach themselves with positively charged dust particles and create a type of natural ionic air purifier. When this technique is used in homes, ionic air purifiers emit innumerable number of negatively charged ions that stick to dust particles and form a heavy mass. This becomes too heavy to float in air and settles down on ground. In this way, it wards away dust particles from reaching your respiratory tract. A study conducted by American College of Allergies states that bad air causes about fifty percent of illnesses. By using ionic air purifiers, you can bring adequate check on such health hazards. The purifier gathers dust on metal plates that are quite easy to clean. It has added advantages like easy affordability and effectiveness. The purifier has a different working mechanism from traditional air filtration techniques. It harps on principle of electrostatic attraction and brings unwanted contaminants to surface area to remove them. Its greatest advantage lies in its capacity to cleanse considerable volumes of air. Thus, you can create room size air-purification through it rather than only a small space.
| | A History of Weight WatchersWritten by Kathy A. Brewis
Weight Watchers has been around for a long time. I can remember my mom telling me about time that she was on Weight Watchers back in 1970’s. From description she was able to give to me and from what I was currently hearing about, it was same program but with a different approach. Of course, there were some food differences in two programs but overall old program and new program basically had same goal, and that was to help people lose weight.It all started with one woman’s frustration with losing weight. She was an ordinary housewife who had tried every fad diet known to mankind. In desperation she turned to a free diet clinic in New York City. She stuck with diet and lost 20 lbs but soon lost her motivation. She then called up a few of overweight friends and they started meeting together at each others house. From meeting together they determined that losing weight was more than just a diet. It was also about changing one’s habits and getting support from people who cared. In 1963, Weight Watchers became incorporated and had their first public meeting in a loft in Queens, New York. The meeting was not advertised so it was a surprise to find 400 people outside doors to loft waiting for meeting to begin. The company rapidly began to expand as their former members branched out and formed franchises around United States and abroad. There were changes made to basic food plan as nutritional findings further developed. Weight Watchers also introduced a behavior management program based on belief that best way to control weight is to change bad eating habits. In 1978, an exercise program was added, which made Weight Watchers first dieting organization to place importance of walking to overall fitness of an individual.
