I’ve learned a lot when it comes to taking better care of myself. For sure, I’m doing the things each day that I really never thought I could. Being ruled a bit by a single’s appetites can be hard behavior to change. Add in the fact that I went from sitting all day in the zone controlled heating and cooling of the office to then sitting in the air conditioning of my house, and it gets real brutal. That’s exactly what I was facing as I was finding that the up-to-date normal after the pandemic had to come with some real swings. When it comes to my health, I’ve just never been all that engaged with it really, as I’ve just sort of done whatever I wanted. Well, really working from inside the central air conditioning of my beach house while I was in the pandemic just added to my problems. And it was that darn old chest cold that I thought might be Covid that was the tipping point for change with me. Once I tested negative for Covid, I went to the doctor because I was in severely rough shape. She earnestly told me that I needed to improve the indoor air pollen levels of my beach house plus start making swings or this is what I could expect from life. This really worked myself and others up, so I called the heating & A/C contractor as soon as I got home. Once I got the air duct cleaning along with the air duct resealing done, I made another change to the heating and A/C equipment. I replaced the cheap disposable HVAC air filters I’d been using with a washable new HEPA filter. This made a significant change to the indoor air pollen levels. And I started making significant swings to my diet, exercise plus overall lifestyle.
