The Importance Of Clean Air

Updated: Mar 21

We often talk about diet, exercise, and sleep as the pillars of good health — but what about the air we breathe?

The average person takes 20,000 breaths per day, yet most of us give very little thought to the quality of our indoor air, even though we spend over 90% of our time indoors.

While air purifiers are a great first step, the benefits of clean air go far beyond just preventing allergies. Clean air improves almost every system in the body — from cardiovascular and cognitive function to sleep, mood, and skin health.


Let’s dive into the benefits of clean air and the simple ways you can start improving the air quality in your home today.

🧹 Easy Tips for Maintaining Clean Air at Home


✔️ Use an Air Purifier

Choose a high-quality HEPA or carbon filter air purifier to trap dust, pollutants, allergens, mould spores, VOCs, and more.→ [See my recommended air purifier here]


✔️ Ventilate Daily

Open windows and doors daily (even in colder months) to allow fresh air to circulate.


✔️ Switch to Non-Toxic Products

Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals, synthetic air fresheners, and conventional personal care

products. Try essential oil diffusers (like Vibrant Blue Oils) as natural alternatives.


✔️ Add Air-Purifying Plants

Indoor plants like peace lily, snake plant, and spider plant help filter pollutants naturally.


✔️ Vacuum, Dust, and Clean Regularly

Focus on hidden areas — under furniture, carpets, vents, and curtains.


✔️ Leave Outdoor Shoes at the Door

Shoes track in dirt, bacteria, pesticides, and heavy metals.


✔️ Reduce Indoor Smoke Exposure

Avoid cigarette smoke, reduce frying indoors, and use exhaust fans.


✔️ Take Out the Trash Regularly

Rotting food releases airborne toxins that degrade air quality.



Clean air is not a luxury — it's a daily necessity. And with chronic disease, allergies, and immune issues on the rise, now more than ever, we must prioritise the invisible environment around us.



Your home should be a place of restoration and nourishment — and that starts with the air you breathe.

Breathe deeply. Live fully. Your body (and mind) will thank you.
