Word is spreading that indoor air is typically far worse than outdoor air. You may live in the middle of Los Angeles, one of the worst places for outdoor air in the country, and your indoor air is likely much worse.
Your body must filter out the chemicals in that indoor air and that filtering process requires nutrients. If nutrient deficiencies are aggravating your depression, toxins in your indoor air are making your depression even worse.
This time of year we have had the windows closed for a a few months. I cleaned the bedding, dusted the bedroom, and deep-cleaned the bathroom one last time before shutting those windows.
And now we wait for a nice day to open everything up for an hour or two. Our home has great airflow when everything is open and it takes very little time to move the stale winter air outside and replace it with something fresh.
On that day I typically do a mini-spring cleaning as well if I have time. I wash all of the bedding and hang it on the line. I wash the bath mat and shower curtain and hang them in the sun as well. We've had two sunny days this week and have been able to open the windows. The laundry is next on the list I think that means I'm pretty spoiled with sunny days.
