Article: You can find air filters at home improvement stores and most big box stores. If you're not sure what to buy, look at the size you already have after you pull it out. Basic air filters take care of things like dust and dirt. You can also buy filters to help reduce allergies, as they filter out more particles. However, the more they filter out, the less efficient they are because AC has to work harder to get the air through the filter. Usually, the return air is located near your thermostat, either on the same wall or nearby. It's often near the floor on the wall and looks like a vent/grate. However, it may also be in the floor, ceiling, the furnace, or even the air conditioner. Find the fasteners to pull open your grill work. Often, you'll have little fasteners that pull out and allow you to open one side of the cover. Lean the cover out towards you. Take the old filter out, being careful of the dust. Most filters will have a buildup of dust that will shake off everywhere if you're not careful. Place the filter in the trash. Check for the airflow arrow on the vent. The arrow should point inward towards the duct not outward towards the grill. It should set right into the frame of the vent, as long as you have the right size. Wipe down the grill with a damp rag to remove buildup of dust and hair. You can also use a vacuum cleaner if it's particularly dirty. Run the hose along the vent on the outside and inside to clean it.

Examine your daily routine for common causes of stress. Where possible, eliminate or reduce your contact with stressful triggers. Relaxation techniques like mediation, yoga, and muscle relaxation can help you unwind when you are feeling tense or overwhelmed. Allergies are the most common cause of a high eosinophil count. Your body may be producing more eosinophils in reaction to the allergen. Treating your allergies and avoiding triggers can help you manage eosinophils in your body.  Hay fever can cause eosinophil levels to surge. Treat your hay fever with over-the-counter antihistamines like Benadryl or Claritin to reduce the eosinophil count in your body. For example, if you’re allergic to dogs, try to avoid contact with dogs whenever possible. When visiting friends with dogs, ask them if they can put the dog in another room during your visit. Dust mites can irritate some people and cause a reaction that may increase eosinophils, especially if you have a dust mite allergy. To avoid this, keep your home as clean as possible. Dust at least once a week to prevent dust mites from building up in the corners of your home. Pollen can have a similar effect for some people. To prevent pollen from coming into your home, keep your doors and windows shut during high pollen seasons. Quitting smoking can help you have healthier levels of eosinophils. While there is no different evidence of correlation between reducing alcohol and eosinophils levels, doing so will certainly make you healthier in general.When quitting smoking, ask for support and have a firm plan.
