Indoor Air Quality, Weight and Depression

Air quality and your weight.

It is no secret that depression and obesity go hand in hand. In fact the CDC reports that 43% of all adults with depression are obese. (and this figure does not include adolescents)

Being depressed or in a “sad” mood, can cause us to reach for those “feel good” or comfort foods that can make us “happy” for a short period of time. This eating stimulates the pleasure centers of our brains.

The Indoor Environment and Depression

Numerous studies have been performed that determines how our indoor environments affect our moods. Poor air quality is known to cause illness, fatigue, headaches, and depression.

Over 80% of the homes and buildings in the US have some form of Allergens, Mold, or contaminants that could be causing health problems. And the average person spends over 90% of their time indoors.

Hidden Dangers and Causes

Mold, bacteria and other bio-contaminants are often hidden in carpets, behind walls, in attics, and in basements. These microscopic particles and organism are often non-detectable, to the naked eye. Temperature and humidity factor heavily into the activity of these contaminants.
