Indoor Water Fountains Can Assist in Keeping Everyone Healthy This Winter, Released Today by Adagio Water Features
(PRWEB) October 09, 2015 -- As winter approaches, so does the season of colds, dry skin, bloody noses, and cracked lips. Increasing the humidity in a home or office can help reduce these problems. An indoor water fountain is not only a great way to add humidity to a room; it also adds beauty and creates a peaceful atmosphere. As the holidays approach, the tranquility a wall water fountain provides is much appreciated.
The heat that comes from furnaces and stoves dries out our air. According MotherNature.com, dermatology professor Hillard H. Pearlstein of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine says that humidity levels can drop as low as 10% in rooms heated by furnaces. Healthy air levels in our rooms are between 40-60%. The humidity in the air is needed to maintain healthy skin and better breathing conditions.
The Mayo Clinic states that humidifiers can help sooth dry sinuses, bloody noses and cracked lips. They can also help ease cold and asthma symptoms. When we breathe dry air frequently, our sinuses and lungs will dry out. This lowers our resistance to bacteria and viruses, making it easier to get sick. Viruses also travel better through dry air since it is thinner. According to http://www.coldandflucentral.com, humidifiers can help reduce the number of germs on surfaces and in the air.
Not only have we found wonderful health benefits of adding an indoor water feature to a home or office, the added humidity helps protect furniture and plants while reducing the heating bill. Plants have healthier leaves which enable them to continue to pull toxins out of the air. Wood furniture is less likely to dry out and crack or split when the air doesn’t get too dry. Wall water fountains help protect investments made in furniture and plants while saving money. Dry air feels cooler than humid air. By adding humidity to a room, it feels warmer. This allows the heat to be set at a lower temperature while still staying comfortable.
While there are many benefits of adding humidity to a room, it is important to not add too much. If a room is too humid, it can promote the growth of bacteria and mold. Some humidifiers put out very hot steam and can cause burns if someone gets too close. An indoor water feature doesn’t get hot and doesn’t over humidify rooms. It is a great way to add humidity without adding the health risks of over humidifying. With all of the color and style options of indoor water fountains, it is easy to find one that will fit into any décor and bring peace and happiness all year long.
