This Household Villain Is RUINING Your Lungs!

Having healthy lungs is one of the keys to enjoying your golden years.

Without them, things like walking the dog… going to the store… and even getting your mail without wheezing can feel impossible.

Things like exercising and quitting smoking will certainly help you get better lungs… but that’s not all you should be doing.

Because new research shows there’s a lung-destroying villain that can put you on the fast track to one of the worst lung diseases out there.

And it’s probably in your home right now.

I’m talking about chemical cleaners that contain alcohol, peroxide, ammonia, and bleach.

For years, researchers have known that these chemicals can give you headaches and irritate your lungs and eyes.

Now we know they can do SERIOUS LUNG DAMAGE, too.

In fact, a new Harvard University study finds that using these cleaners can up your risk of chronic lung disease by almost 40 percent.

For the study, researchers followed a group of over 73,000 nurses – who use cleaning products frequently at work – beginning in 1989.

The scientists discovered inhaling common cleaning products such as alcohol, peroxide, bleach, and other toxic chemicals can harm your lungs.

We’ve known for a while that folks who use cleaning products frequently are much more likely to have a lung condition Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) than the rest of the population. COPD is the name for several chronic lung diseases like bronchitis and emphysema.

Many chemical cleaning supplies contain VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, which are corrosive, irritating the eyes, throat, and lungs and can cause headaches.

But it’s not just the immediate burning and headaches that you have to worry about… repeated exposures may do long-term harm.

What can you do?

There are many natural cleaning products on the market today.

There are also enzymatic cleaners – which contain ‘good’ bacteria and are primarily used to clean fat and oil and to eliminate odors that don’t have the same irritant effects or raise COPD risk.

And when nothing else works, good old vinegar can clean up just about any mess.
