The news shared this photo of the pollen over Durham, North Carolina (not far from where I live) and yikes… just looking at it makes my lungs hurt...

They are calling this green cloud a "pollenpocalypse" - which is kinda funny, but seriously - all of this pollen is no joke to anyone suffering from seasonal allergies. And it's not just the pollen in the air making us feel bad…
Our air is polluted with bacteria, industrial chemicals, volatile organic compounds, pesticides, car exhaust, and more. These substances lead to headaches, poor sleep, hormone imbalances, lethargy, and have been linked to a greater risk of stroke, cardiovascular disease, lung disease, and cancer. Your air quality may be affecting your health right under your nose.
Do you...
- Find yourself sneezing and coughing more often than normal?
- Live in an area with frequent wildfires and need to limit your time outdoors?
- Feel tired and sluggish often?
- Need to take seasonal allergy medicine?
- Have a hard time recovering from workouts?
If any of those things are affecting you, your air could be making an impact on how you feel and may even lead to health issues down the road. Thankfully there are ways to improve it!
One place that I can control the quality of my air is in my home. I use a high quality air purifier (made by my partner Intellipure). Ever since I started using it I've slept better and don't suffer from seasonal allergies - even during this pollenpocalypse!
The Intellipure is the most effective air purifier on the market. Here's why I love it:
- Their patented system removes 99.99% of harmful viruses, fungi, molds, and bacteria, leaving nothing but fresh, pure, healthy air.
- Unlike HEPA filters, it doesn't trap viruses and bacteria that can multiply and cause secondary pollution. The Intellipure kills them so that they do not accumulate.
- It's 40 times more effective than HEPA filters at trapping dangerous microscopic particles and VOCs.
- It's super quiet and I don't notice any noise when I'm sleeping. This is super important aspect to me!
As I always want to share with you what works for me, my team was able to negotiate a special deal just for the Food Babe Army:
Take 15% OFF an Intellipure Air Purifier with the code: FOODBABE19 (expires Friday 4/26)
Even if I'm eating the purest, most organic food in the world and drinking the cleanest filtered water around, I know that the air I breathe is just as important! If I wouldn't drink unfiltered water, why would I breathe unfiltered air?
If you can't get an Intellipure right now, other ways you can protect the air around you is to thoroughly dust surfaces in your home with a damp cloth, mop floors, and vacuum often. Also get some indoor plants, which help to purify the air. I hope that we all get some relief from all of this pollen soon!
Get your new air purifier with the 15% discount code FOODBABE19 here.
If you know anyone suffering from this pollenpocalypse, please send this discount code to them. Let's help everyone breathe cleaner, safer air!

P.S. While outdoor air pollution has been classified as a carcinogen (causes cancer) - the air we breathe inside of our homes can be even worse! The EPA says that indoor air pollution is about 5 times greater than the air outside, and is sometimes 100 times worse than the air you breathe outside. That is why it is so important to clean the air inside of your home.
If the price of the Intellipure is making you hesitant, let's break it down. If you average out the price over one year, it will cost you less than $3 per day to breathe purified air. That's less than what most people spend in breakfast each day. Don't forget to use the code FOODBABE19 to save even more! Remember this code expires on Friday.
