If there’s anything COVID-19 has taught us this year, it would be that our health is of utmost priority under any circumstance.
Perhaps you’ve taken time to strengthen yourselves with vitamins and antioxidants— those definitely do help to boost our immune system. Yet, there’s one thing many of us overlook: the air around us.
Dr Benjamin Loh, Resident Doctor of DTAP Clinic Group elaborates: “In modern indoor spaces, allergens, viruses, bacteria and harmful gases may cause respiratory infections. In other cases, these can also result in various allergic symptoms such as sneezing, watery eyes, nasal congestion and runny nose. Atopic diseases, often associated with common allergens, can also have a negative impact on (one’s) quality of life.”
Enough said. Read on for some of the most efficient (not to mention incredibly stylish) air purifiers for healthy, clean, pollutant-free air right in the comfort of your home.
