Looking to stay healthy in 2014? Maybe it was your New Years Resolution or you are sick of well, being sick. We have a great cure or way to help improve the odds, air purification with the latest technologies from Fellowes. Many people out there may have a prejudice to using air purification and think that just because they aren’t dying without one that it is okay, well we are here to explain the actual facts of why your body really does need one.

Check it out here: Fellowes AeraMax™ DX-55

With pollutants, allergens, and germs flying around in your home there is no better way to clean that air space than with an air purifier. For us, we used to not like air purifiers because they tended to be loud, but the Fellowes AeraMax DX-55 is very quiet and just makes sense for all sorts of practical purposes. 

It is best to protect yourself through the 4 step process which includes:

1) Getting a flu shot every season

2) Wash and sanitize your hands regularly

3) Wipe down surfaces with powerful disinfectants

4) Purify the air indoors (here is where the Fellowes AeraMax comes into play)

Below you can see ours, with its cool design and big area to circulate the air from.

Let us know your thoughts on this air purifier and ways to stay healthy this winter and all year long! It really is important almost anywhere you go. On the east coast for example it is either too hot or too cold inside so you are inside a lot breating that same air. On the west coast, our happy home of course, you can have your window open a lot more often but it also lets a lot of dust in. Difficult to win either way right? So all the more reasons to have an air purifier, no excuses people!

Leave your reccomendations on places to stick your air purifier in the home or office in the comments below. We recommend one in your main living areas as well as your bedroom and office room, you can’t have enough air purification and you really should not rely on anybody else to purify for you. Don’t forget to change out your filter here and there, so stock up when you get yours so that your air is always as clean as can be!

There is a 4 step process to maintaining a healthy environment:

3) Wipe down surfaces with powerful disinfectants

4) Purify the air indoors

We are going to be getting one for our office soon since the one that Fellowes has sent us for our home has been such a hit with everybody and we love it too! The actual EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, has ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health! This is a huge problem that people do not often think about. The air inside your actual house or office is often times more dangerous than the air outside which can dillute some of the pollutants. Inside your home, if you are letting in too much air you will get a lot of dust and if you don’t let in enough air you are clogging the air with germs, viruses and more!

It is not an obvious fact but viruses can linger in the air for 24 hours and you can get sick being within 6 feet of somebody even if they do not sneeze or cough! It is crazy to think about this but makes you want to take action even faster and get your air purifier!

Let us know your thoughts and comments in the section below along with which model you will be getting for your household should you be ready for a safe household and office!

Americans spend more time at work than people in any other country. We work longer hours, are allowed less vacation time, and are often underpaid for our efforts. We are a society of workaholics, and too often, our families suffer as a result. What if we were really happy at work? Would it make a difference in our lives at home? Would it make us healthier, happier people overall?

Video Overview

Feelings of Satisfaction Matter
It is important to feel satisfied with the work we do professionally and personally. If we go to work each day and perform a job we don’t really enjoy, or perhaps one that we don’t really feel matters to anyone, it is hard to stay happy and motivated. Maybe we come home from a boring or bad day at work and take it out on our family members. That isn’t good for anyone involved. People need to feel needed and vital to the jobs that they do. If they are satisfied professionally, they are more likely to be better moms, dads and partners at home.

Recognition and Appreciation Matter, Too
When we give someone a gift or do something nice or helpful without being asked, we feel good about ourselves and so does the recipient of our efforts. The same goes for our professional life. If we do not feel appreciated for the job we do; for going the extra mile; for staying late when everyone else has gone home; it is easy to become frustrated. When we start feeling underappreciated at work, again, we might take out our frustrations at home.

Companies that Foster On-the-Job Happiness
If you are fortunate enough to work for a company that fosters a happy, productive environment, then you are probably much happier than the average nine-to-fiver. Working for a company that believes in letting employees be part of the creative process, or one that believes in a fun and innovative corporate culture – think, aesthetically pleasing office environment, team-building exercises, fun activities at work and socially – then you will most likely be happier going to work each day. You may even come home from work in a happy mood, and share all that positive energy with your family.

1. Memory Loss and Brain Damage

Research has shown that over time, heavy drinking on a regular basis can have permanent and residual side effects on a person’s brain functions. Memory loss and brain damage can occur and may not be reversible, even if the person becomes sober. The brain of an alcoholic may actually shrink over time.

2. Nerve Damage and Cirrhosis

It seems that women are more susceptible to the long-term negative health effects of alcohol than men. This is true with regard to nerve damage and cirrhosis of the liver. Women alcoholics develop these health issues sooner than their male counterparts.

3. Short-Term Effect of Alcohol

Most people are aware of the short-term effects of alcohol, including blurred vision, shorter reaction times, impaired judgment, and feeling the effects of a terrible hangover the day after a night of excessive drinking. But, many people do not stop to consider the potential long-term effects that these short-term symptoms can create, including being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI).

If this were to happen, this could change your life in terms of loss of driver’s license, heavy fines, reputation, employment and even jail time. This could potentially damage personal relationships. When faced with such a charge, retaining an experienced DUI legal professional, such as Katz & Phillips, P.A., would be essential.

4. Possible Life-Altering Effects to Others

In addition to feeling the unhealthy physical effects of too much beer, wine or liquor, your impaired judgment, lack of reaction time, and blurred vision can lead to the immediate consequences of being arrested for a DUI – or even worse, a DUI with injuries or fatalities to others in your car or on the road. These consequences can change the course of another person’s life forever.

5. Long-term Emotional Effects

If you experience a car accident as a result of the negative effects of alcohol, and property is damaged, people are hurt, and lives are altered as a result, you may experience guilt, remorse, and other long-term emotional effects of alcohol as well.

Although you may not be able to reduce the side effects of short-term or long-term drinking, one of the only ways you may be able to reduce the legal damage that happened is by contacting an experienced DUI attorney for advice. Even though an alcohol-related accident is hopefully not a common occurrence in your life, a DUI attorney deals with circumstances just like yours every day, and may be able to help get you back on the road to recovery in every sense of the word.

Lisa Coleman shares some ways that alcohol can negatively affect a person’s overall health and life. When faced with legal issues, she shares the importance of retaining an attorney. She recently viewed online how Katz & Phillips, P.A., a FL DUI defense attorney firm, can help a person faced with such a charge.

Teens and adults who work at the drive-through of a coffee shop or fast-food restaurant are also at risk for injury if the driver loses control of his or her car while going through the line. Below are some of the most common injuries that occur to fast-food employees.

Car Crashes

Some of the most common injuries happen to fast-food employees as a result of cars crashing into the building. For one reason or another, if a driver loses control over his vehicle, or is not paying attention, he or she may crash through the wall of the drive-in or drive-through window injuring everyone in his or her path.

Slips and Falls

People who work at drive-in restaurants where food is delivered curbside have a high risk of injuries from slipping and falling. In some cases, the restaurant chain requires the carhops to wear roller skates while delivering food.

This could be dangerous for both the server and the customer. If the carhop slips and falls, hot food or beverages could land on the people in the car, scalding them. The carhop could suffer sprained ankles or broken bones as a result of the fall.

Risk of Injury from Robberies

Each time a carhop or drive-through window employee serves someone in a vehicle, they are at risk of being robbed, held at gunpoint or physically hurt. In some states, such as North Carolina, restaurants are required by law to provide adequate security for their employees and guests.

If there is not adequate security and an employee is robbed or injured by someone on the premises, that restaurant could be held legally responsible for the occurrence of a work related injury and damages. The onus of providing a safe environment is the employer or establishment.

What Can You Do?

If you or someone you know works as a carhop or at a fast-food drive-through, and he or she is injured at work, you may want to consider obtaining help from an experienced legal professional. A well- versed injury attorney can review your case, the nature of your injuries, and the circumstances surrounding them at the time they happened.

If a restaurant can be held liable, especially in states like North Carolina where there are laws in place to protect employees at public establishments, then you may be able to receive financial compensation for your pain, injuries, and even lost time at work.

Every job has its risks, but nobody should be at an increased risk for broken bones just because you bring food to customers at a drive-in. If you are concerned about the conditions at your workplace, consider speaking to the manager about your concerns. You may be helping to create a safer environment for everyone who works there, today and in the future.

Jamica Bell is a freelance writer and contributes this article as a fan of nostalgic carhops. Recently, after witnessing a server experience a work related injury while skating to a car, she was inspired to research and provide helpful tips individual who work in this industry.
