Tis the season for coughs, colds and the flu. Staying healthy can be tough for anyone, especially seniors who can be more vulnerable to getting sick.

In one year’s time, the National Center for Health Statistics reported that seniors age 65 years and older visit their doctor roughly 234 million times! For those seniors with breathing sensitivities, the air they breathe is also a factor. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), air within homes can be more seriously polluted than outdoor air. Other research also indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors, thus increasing health risks due to added exposure of indoor air pollutants. Be a savvy senior this winter by using the following tips to help you feel your best.

Stop the Spread of Airborne Germs
According to Dr. Kelly Reynolds, a microbiologist at The University of Arizona, “Reducing the spread of germs in the air this time of year is a good idea, especially during the winter months when people spend more times indoors and the chances for catching a cold or flu bug increase.”

The Germ Guardian UV-C room air sanitizer is an effective way to help eliminate contagious germs from the air. According to studies at the Harvard School of Public Health, it kills 99.9 percent of targeted airborne germs that can cause cold and flu, pneumonia, tuberculosis, staph infections and more.

It harnesses the power of naturally occurring UV-C light technology, the same technology hospitals use to sanitize surfaces and the air; making it a better way to kill germs without having to use harmful chemicals. It also can reduce odors and allergens in your home.

Available at Lowe’s, this portable unit is stainless steel, lightweight and perfect for any room in your home. Simply plug it in and let it run. The only maintenance required is to replace the special UV-C bulb once a year.
