Charles Stuart Platkin is known as "The Diet Detective"

You've read his nationally-syndicated column in your newspaper and recognize him as "The Diet Detective." His name is Charles Stuart Platkin and he is one of America's foremost authorities on diet, health, and fitness. Although I have had my disagreements with him regarding his diet philosophy, we both agree obesity needs to be addressed in practical ways whether it is with low-fat, low-carb, or whatever. Platkin was kind enough to donate an autographed Complete Diet Detective Library, including Breaking The Pattern, Breaking The Fat Pattern, Lighten Up (Teenagers), and The Diet Detective's Count Down (which I recently reviewed).

Is The Air You Breathe As Clean As Can Be?

EWWW! Was I REALLY breathing in all of that into my lungs?!

Too often when you talk about a healthy lifestyle, the discussion generally tends to center around diet and exercise. While both of those are certainly very important parts of your overall health, there's another factor that should be considered just as much--INDOOR AIR QUALITY! The air that you breathe and everything that's in it enters your body through your nose and mouth on a daily basis. Do you think that air you are breathing is as clean as it can be?

Well, I mistakenly thought the air in my house was pretty clean until I had it tested using an air quaility testing kit about a week ago. The results of that test you can see at the top of this blog post in the actual petri dish that revealed what was in the air of my home. Yuck! What is all of that?! Well, the shiny white spots are bacteria, the shiny yellow spots are yeast, and the fuzzy white and black spots are mold. Gasp! And that's what I've been breathing into my body! EEEK!

The unfortunate part of an enclosed building like your home or office is that all of these contaminants can and will pollute the air and cause problems with various parts of your health. Whether you have breathing problems, allergies, frequent sore throats, or other illness, all of that junk in the air can wreak havoc on you. The indoor air pollutants are as much as 100 TIMES HIGHER than outdoor levels especially during the winter when the windows and doors are sealed shut to keep out the cold. Since most people spend as much as 90 percent of their day indoors, this is an issue that needs to be addressed.

I personally installed one the sleek new NANO O2 ULTRA systems in my 1000-square-foot home last week to begin cleaning up all that gunk that was in my air. It was pretty technical to hook up, so let me provide you with some personal instructions: PLUG INTO OUTLET! That's it! Once you do that, the air in your home will immediately begin getting scrubbed clean of all those little contaminants and icky things that you don't want floating around for you to breathe in.

Using a process called hydrated photocatalytic oxidation, this sleek-looking modern machine scrubs clean the the air by using germicidal ultraviolet light rays, which have been commonly used by medical facilities to destroy micro-organisms such as germs, viruses, and bacteria for years, as well as the use of small amounts of ozone, to oxidize gases, vapors, and odors that permeate the air. It's only been a week, but I can already tell that the air quality in my house is noticably better.

Christine and I have four cats which means we have certain odors that center around the litterbox and where these little critters sleep. Since installing the NANO O2, those smells have magically disappeared and I'm breathing easier, too. I never would have thought the air wasn't as clean as it could be.

Now I know that the special NANO Cell inside this unit is designed to remove 98 percent of the micro-organisms in the air that cause the unpleasant smells and even the ones that lead to the bacteria, yeast and mold that showed up in my air quality test. That helps me breathe easier both literally and figuratively!

And don't let the ozone this unit emits freak you out. The system has been designed to emit very low levels of ozone, approximately .01-.02 ppm, which is equivalent to the ozone levels released into the atmosphere following a thunderstorm. Federal Safety Limits for ozone max out at .04 ppm, so this unit is extremely safe and effective for cleaning the air that you breathe. Soak in the fresh smell of clean air for perhaps the first time ever!

What's really great about the NANO O2 is that there is no need for cleaning, filter changes, or maintenance whatsoever for THREE YEARS! You heard me right, this puppy will work undisturbed in your home cleaning the air for over 1,000 days before you need to do anything to it. That's pretty amazing if you stop to think about it!

And if for some reason the NANO Cell stops working before the end of the three years, you get a FREE replacement GUARANTEED! The unit itself also has a LIFETIME GUARANTEE and costs just a few pennies a day to provide you with fresh, clean air to breathe! Think about the money you'll save on doctor visits, allergy medicines, and useless air cleaners that never really worked. Now your NANO O2 will give you the peace of mind you've been looking for.

This high-quality air purifier is made and manufactured in the U.S.A. and even comes with a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee if you decide it is not for you. Test your air quality for yourself using one of the three enclosed air quality test kits that come with the unit. If you see results like I did, then there's no doubt in my mind that you'll be keeping your NANO O2 and happily so. You and your family deserve to be breathing clean air. Stop putting the health of you and your family at risk and start enjoying what clean air is supposed to feel like!
