At Home | Humidify!

Supposedly cold and flu viruses like dry air better…  Proper humidity eases coughing  Humidity is good for the skin and relieves those chapped lips Wooden floors and furniture, and wall paper fair better than in dry air  Air feels warmer when not cold and dry  Lowers static electricity  Less frizzy hair, less tousled clothes and less of those mini-electric shocks  Alleviates snoring  Soothed, less dry, lubricated mucous membranes in the nose and throat  Prevents nose bleeds  Can ease asthma but check with your doctor Reduced dust  Recommended humidity levels: 30-50%  Remember: Humidity levels kept too high can also make things worse – think mold or mildew; keep the humidifier clean; cold humidifies may keep multiplication of bacteria and fungi more at bay than hot ones SOURCES: EXAMINER | FITSUGAR | LIVESTRONG | MAYO CLINIC
