5 Tips For a Healthier Home

5 Tips For a Healthier Home

Your health is important to you, so you pay special attention to your diet, go jogging, take yoga classes, or go hiking in the countryside. But, what’s the point in going trekking in the mountains from time to time if you live in a neglected place with visible layers of dust? In other words, your ultimate healthy lifestyle plan needs to factor in one more crucial element: your living space. 

So what can you do for your home, you may wonder. It goes without saying that regular clean-ups are a must, and if you can’t squeeze them into your packed schedule, you can always rely on professional help from cleaners who serve Tipton and offer exceptional maid service that will spruce your place up.

However, this is not enough. There is something else you can do. Read on!

How can I make my home healthy? 

Research has shown that indoor air quality can decrease significantly due to increased use of synthetic building materials, furnishings, personal care products, pesticides, and household cleaners.

However, making your living space healthier isn’t only about improving the air quality. It’s also about creating a cozy shelter where you can always feel at peace. So let’s see what you can do:

*First and foremost: tidiness. Keep your place neat to avoid the accumulation of dust and mold. Built-up dust can cause serious health issues, such as allergies and asthma, as it lowers the air quality. Mold is harmful too. Not only can it damage your house if neglected for too long, but it can also endanger your health causing eye irritation, sore throat, and skin reactions. 

When it comes to cleaning your home regularly, a handy idea is to have feasible daily, weekly, and monthly plans, as well as to learn some clever cleaning hacks which will help you be more efficient. Or, if you lack time, energy, and resources, you can always rely on cleaning experts from your neighborhood. 

*Let fresh air and sunlight into your house by pulling back your drapes and opening windows. Your home will bask in invigorating natural sunlight, and you will experience a burst of energy as you notice your mood is better, your fatigue is gone, and you don’t have to deal with eye strain anymore. Plus, fresh air will force out the polluted indoor air increasing the overall indoor air quality.  

*Introduce essential oils into your living space. Even though you might believe they are overrated, essential oils can indeed make a real difference in your surroundings. They can brighten your mood, relieve your headaches, and introduce a sense of calmness and Zen tranquility into your everyday life. Each essential oil has its special purpose. 

For instance, rose oil improves mood and reduces anxiety, and peppermint oil boosts energy, to name just a few. The list of essential oils and their benefits is endless, so give them a try, and see which suits you best. 

*Pay special attention to what you bring into your home. Always check labels carefully, and don’t buy VOC-rich products as they can lead to numerous health issues. Plastic should enter your house either, as it contains harmful substances. And since some rugs and carpets can release toxic gases, ensure to check materials they are made of before buying them. Whenever possible, opt for eco-friendly alternatives, and choose natural fabric, and glass or ceramic food containers.

*Get a new family member: houseplants. As they increase humidity, they can boost the quality of the air you breathe, which is particularly important during the heating season when the indoor air becomes drier. This is beneficial for people with respiratory issues, headaches, and allergies. 

Some research indicates that certain houseplants, including Peace Lily, English Ivy, and Red-edge Dracaena, etc. can eliminate some major air pollutants (benzene, xylene, trichloroethylene, and formaldehyde). On top of that, if you lack an idea of what hobby to pursue, indoor gardening is a great option. Research has proved that it stimulates feelings of well-being and optimism among people suffering from anxiety, depression, and dementia.
