The Importance of Curtains in a Healthy Home

Curtains, blinds, or other effective window coverings are an essential way to ensure your home is healthy. Here’s why.

Curtains are good for insulation: Curtains reduce the amount of air exchange between a cold window and the rest of the room. For keeping heat inside the home, high-quality curtains can reduce heat loss by around 40%. This means you will be less susceptible to illness in winter and will save money on your heating bill.

The insulation efficiency of curtains depends on the fabric type (closed or open weave), colour and weight. Curtains also function as effective insulators to help keep your home cool in the warmer months.

Dust build-up and allergens: Curtains prevent allergens from getting into your rooms. When your windows are open, dust particles and pollen enter your home. Curtains function as a barrier and collect these particles. They also prevent moisture from condensation on windows entering your room at night.

Because curtains collect these particles, it is important to keep your curtains clean to prevent mould, dust and pollen build-up. Mould in particular will result in a less healthy home and is associated with several health problems.

Correct curtain installation matters for a healthy home: Curtains should completely cover the window and be as close to the window pane as possible, particularly if insulation or light-blocking are your priorities. This effectively ‘seals’ the room from heat, moisture and light exchange through windows.
Make sure you open your curtains during the day to keep your home healthy: The sun naturally keeps your home warm during the day. It also has antibacterial properties; open your curtains every day to prevent mould developing on the furniture and carpets in your home. Close your curtains at sundown to retain the sun's heat, keep your home insulated, and keep your rooms dark so you can enjoy a deeper, more restful sleep - another health tick!

Curtains naturally attract dust and absorb odours over time. It is recommended to have your curtains cleaned every 3 to 6 months. Having your curtains cleaned on a regular basis is a good idea to keep your house fresh and clean.

If you would like to know more about how curtains improve health in the home, or book your curtains or blinds in for a maintenance clean, contact the team at Curtain Clean on 0800 579 0501.

NATIONAL ADVISORY: TSUNAMI ACTIVITY – EXPECT STRONG AND UNUSUAL CURRENTS AND UNPREDICTABLE SURGES AT THE SHORE
Issued 8.14pm, 15 January 2022
We expect New Zealand coastal areas on the north and east coast of the North Island and the Chatham Islands to experience strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges at the shore following a large volcanic eruption at Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'pai in Tonga.
Strong currents and surges can injure and drown people. There is a danger to swimmers, surfers, people fishing, small boats and anyone in or near the water close to shore.
People in or near the sea should move out of the water, off beaches and shore areas and away from harbours, rivers and estuaries until at least 04:00am NZDT Sunday 16 January 2022.
STAY OFF THE BEACHES AND SHORE AREAS
There is no need to evacuate other areas unless directly advised by local civil defence authorities.
Coastal inundation (flooding of land areas near the shore) is not expected as a result of this event.
We are advising people to:
▪️Move out of the water, off beaches and shore areas and away from harbours, rivers and estuaries.
▪️Do not go to the coast to watch the unusual wave activity as there may be dangerous and unpredictable surges.
▪️Listen to local civil defence authorities and follow any instructions.
▪️Share this information with family, neighbours and friends.
Strong and unusual currents and unpredictable surges will continue for several hours and the threat must be regarded as real until this Advisory is cancelled.
This National Advisory has been issued following advice from GNS Science. This is the largest eruption from Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha'pai Volcano so far, and the eruption is ongoing. The situation may change as new information becomes available.
Listen to the radio or TV for updates, or check www.civildefence.govt.nz...

Hi Team,
I want to recommend a Local Biz Lady, June McCarthy and one of the Programmes/Products she is currently advertising in the Health Care Range.
I met June a couple of years ago at one of those Networking Groups (I think!), and she has been so super supportive of me in my Funeral Business. She has volunteered to help with all kinds of things to help me look after the families or groups I work with. Recently, June was incredibly supportive of Hawke's Bay Wave of Light Ceremony, which SANDS had asked me to lead. (Stillborn and Neonatal Death). June spent hours working with the Team to ensure the Wave of Light Ceremony went smoothly and was a beautiful service for the 27 families who attended.
So, here is a SHOUT OUT FOR JUNE McCARTHY AND HER LATEST ADVERT FOR A 14 DAY WELLNESS PROGRAMME.
If you are interested in this programme but miss the date advertised, - do not panic - June is Solution Focussed so can help you out.

14-Day Guided Digestive Reset
With June McCarthy from Havelock North

Have you been feeling?
heavier
tired
bloated
gassy/constipated

Come with me on a 14 day guided Digestive Reset
to take action towards forming healthier habits to help you feel your best.

Our bodies are incredibly sophisticated! Our liver, kidneys and digestive system work together to eliminate toxin build-up. However, when our body cannot operate at maximum capacity (i.e. after binge eating on tasty yet not so healthy Christmas food, alcohol, little water, etc.), that process is more challenging for our bodies to do their job.

When your body is creating more toxins than it can eliminate, it starts storing them in your cells and fat tissues to push them aside and out of the way of your vital bodily functions. Hey Cellulite!

This is when we can also start to feel constantly tired, bloated, gassy, constipated and grumpy.

The Digestive Reset program supports the self-detoxing process to kick into gear and operate at its full potential.

Every journey starts by taking a single step forward!
Come with us on a 14-day guided Digestive Reset to take action towards forming healthier habits.

If you take small actions every day, taking you from where you are, you will reach your long-term personal health goals.

If you want more information or want to sign up, it is as easy as contacting June McCarthy, who will sign-post you to what you are looking for. All can be done from your phone!
Contact June on 0272706176 or June.mccarthy@xtra.co.nz
**More information: $200 NZD plus $8.30 Courier fee.
