Using Indoor Plants To Clean The Air

Lady palm, peace lily, ficus, golden pothos and areca palm are easy to grow, insect resistant and can absorb many of the cancer causing chemicals like benzene, arsenic and formaldehyde found in secondhand smoke and other household pollutants.

A normal houseplant can filter about six cubic feet of air or about the size of a overstuff chair. Position the plant on a table or floor beside your bed or favorite chair to maximize the amount of clean air in your breathing zone.

Don’t Get Burned!

American over 65 account for half of all new cases of skin cancer. Damage to the skin doesn’t happen overnight but accumulates over years.

• Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15.
• Look for the UV Index in your local newspaper.
• Wear a broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses in the sun.
• Conduct a self-exam of your skin once a month looking for any new growths or changes in moles, freckles or birthmarks.
• Don’t be fooled by clouds. Sunlight and UV rays penetrate the clouds so wear sunscreen even on cloudy days.
• Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to ears, neck and the back of your hands.
