We are living in a chaotic and hectic society. Many of us are trying to live a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle in midst of the chaos; but are we investing in it?
Many home builders are focusing on the Wellness Real Estate sector. What is “Wellness Real Estate?” The Global Wellness Institute defines it as: “ homes that are proactively designed and built to support the holistic health of their residents” (Build Well to Live Well: Wellness Lifestyle Real Estate & Communities, 2018).
The Green Building Movement began in the 1990s. Prior to this, homes were been built in such a way that reinforced a stressful, alienated, and unhappy lifestyle. Your home might even be making you sick!
There are many things you can do to improve the wellness of your home. Here are just a few tips to get started:
-
Test your home for radon
-
Call a mold remediator if you have serious mold issues
-
Clean the air with a high quality air purification system
-
Filter the water in your home
-
Use chemical-free cleaning products
-
Remodel with low VOC furniture and appliances
-
Utilize renewable energy
-
Recycle
Creating a stress-free indoor environment will have a significant impact on your overall health and wellbeing. Leaving unhealthy, bad habits behind will pave the way for a brighter, healthier future for you and your family.
