The ache of your shoulder, to the inflammation in your hands. The overwhelming pain of your body screaming out in agony. You are thinking to yourself, “why is my body doing this to me?”. People can experience this persistent aching feeling and have no idea where this pain stems from or how to eradicate the pain. One person recounts the onset of her aches as a burning inside, with no relief and no escape from the pain. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a disease that can be battled by anyone, though it occurs more often in women and often happens to take place in our middle ages.
This debilitating disease can be hard to pinpoint and even harder to diagnose. About 1.3 million people in the United States or 1% of adults have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a very alarming disease that begins with aches and pains and slowly creates chronic inflammation of the joints and other areas of the body. This disease can be caused by genetic and environmental factors such as air pollution. Many of the strong people fighting this disease also suffer from sensitivities to chemicals that affect their health as well. Learning how to combat toxic chemicals from your environment and air can substantially help increase those peoples well being affected by Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Rheumatoid Arthritis & Inflammation
Autoimmune diseases are illnesses that are present when the body’s tissues are falsely attacked by their own immune systems. Those with autoimmune disease have antibodies and immune cells in their blood and target their own body tissues which are associated with inflammation. Joint inflammation is one of the main symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis. When RA starts up, chemical messengers are produced. These chemicals create the inflammation, says Terry Moore, MD, a physician at Saint Louis University Hospital who specializes in Rheumatology. Inflammation can have some serious effects on your body such as increasing your chance of cardiovascular disease. Scary, right? To think your body’s natural response to this disease could be harming you further rather than aiding your health. Consulting a Rheumatologist is critical when taking on this disease, to ensure that you are taking all the necessary precautions to protect your body.
Risk Factors of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Prevention.
That is the vital quest we all seek, prevention from all heinous diseases we can possibly acquire in our lifetime. Rheumatoid Arthritis has many possible risk factors that can lead you to end up fighting this disease. Some of these risk factors are uncontrollable, but some of them we can manage and the first step is learning the best line of defense against this disease.
Gender
Your gender can actually increase your chances of getting Rheumatoid Arthritis. The Mayo Clinic, USA, stated that the disease is two to three times more common in women than men. An increase in estrogen can be the cause of this statistic, however, this is still a speculation.
Age
It is mainly a prevalent disease in those between the ages of 40 and 60 years old. Although, Rheumatoid Arthritis may develop at any age. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis or JIA is Rheumatoid Arthritis that starts in people under the age of 16 years old.
Family History
Do you have a family member that battles Rheumatoid Arthritis? Well, if you do you chances of getting this disease as well is increased. Experts have concluded that the disease is not inherited, but rather the predisposition to develop it is.
Smoking
Put the pack away and you may fight off the RA! Heavy smokers significantly increase their chances of developing Rheumatoid Arthritis. Smoking also increases the severity of the disease.
Environmental Susceptibility
Lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity, and poor health can contribute to the development of RA, but environmental factors can also play a part. Environmental factors in the form of air quality, food, and product chemicals, are toxic substances that all affect our bodies negatively. These are the prime culprits of creating joint pains suffered by Rheumatoid Arthritis patients.
How Air Quality Affects Rheumatoid Arthritis
Dirty air can be a significant contributor to poor health, but low air quality affects people with Rheumatoid Arthritis more than others. Environmental toxins such as air pollution have been linked with the risk development of Rheumatoid diseases. Air quality is a major contributor to increased symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis. The pollution in our air has negative effects on autoimmune diseases because it triggers an inflammatory response, thus air quality and more specifically air pollution have been concluded to contribute to the development of Rheumatic diseases. Other inhalants in our air can also affect the air quality and lead to the development of Rheumatoid Arthritis these include tobacco smoke and silica.
Think about all the possible pollutants traveling in our air, and the adverse effect they can have on our health. These pollutants can be dangerous to those battling Rheumatoid Arthritis, so for patients with this disease taking steps to protect your air is important. Many air purifiers promise to remove pollutants in your air but in reality, they aren’t really eliminating the pollutants completely. The EnviroKlenz Mobile Air System doesn’t just falsely promise to get rid of the pollutants it actually does. It uses hospital-grade technology to guarantee the air in your home or office space to keep the air as clean and pure as possible. The mobile air system takes in the air through the system and remove VOCs and toxins and eliminates them so they don’t get recycled back into the air. It also has a certified HEPA filtration and a unique patented EnviroKlenz Air Cartridge that is in charge of removing the VOCs, malodors, and fragrances in the air that is bad for Rheumatoid Arthritis patients.

“The best air purifier for lessening autoimmune symptoms is a unit that not only removes the larger particulates from the air with a HEPA filter, but one that also removes any chemical and toxic substances that might be floating in the environment as well.
