uHoo Indoor Air Toxin Sensor* – uHoo
I was contacted by the guys at uHoo asking me to check out their new air sensor. As someone who suffers from allergies then knowing what rubbish is floating around in the air can be really helpful.
The uHoo measures a variety of factors from temperature and air pressure to Carbon Dioxide and Monoxide (useful if you run natural gas in the house).
Note that this won’t filter the air for you, but it will give you a heads up if there’s loads of dust particles floating around your appartment and you can view the data on your smartphone from anywhere.

66 Super Foods to Help You Live a Longer & Healthier Life – Bembu
I try to eat as healthily as possible (apart from you, Broccoli! You’re not welcome here!) as it’s surprising the number of foods that you probably eat on a regular basis that are really good for you. If you don’t think that you’re eating as healthy as you could be then why not try small food swaps, like dropping potatoes and eating asparagus instead, swap white rice for brown or milk chocolate for dark chocolate (see it’s not all bad and boring!)
