West Hartford Chiropractic LLC Is Your West Hartford Chiropractor

We serve the community of West Hartford with quality chiropractic care, and we see a lot of patients during flu season who are hoping to avoid the outbreak each year. The fact is: illness increases in the colder months.

Studies Indicate That a Simple Change Can Decrease Illness

What is one thing that happens each winter season? People turn up their thermostats, burn their fireplaces, and keep as toasty warm as possible. This has the effect of drying out the air in public buildings, hospitals, shopping centers, churches, and homes. This dry air has been discovered to be a cause for an increase in the spread of a communicable illness, such as the flu virus. Disease travels faster and more effectively in dry air than in humid air.

Simply increasing the humidity has been shown to drop infection rates across the board significantly. Purchasing an inexpensive humidifier may make your chances of getting the flu decrease. It really is that simple. Hospitals who increased their humidity had lower infection rates overall.
