16 Ideas for a Healthy, Feel-Good Home

As the warmer months draw nearer, you may be thinking about ways to improve your lifestyle by eating healthier, getting outside more or losing the stress. Before you berate yourself for slacking off on those New Year’s resolutions, take a look at how your home may (or may not) be supporting you in your quest for a healthier life. Here are 17 ways to alter your home (both minor tweaks and major changes) to support healthier choices.

1. Boost indoor-outdoor flow. French doors, sliding glass doors or even an entire glass wall that opens up accordion-style can transform your home. Consider adding one of these features to your kitchen, living room or bedroom to expand your living space and strengthen your connection to nature.

Another way to introduce an indoor-outdoor connection is by including a breezeway in your home’s design.

These covered, open passages connect one part of a home to another and make an excellent place for an indoor-outdoor dining room or sitting area.

2. Use a stand-up desk. Working at a stand-up desk can help you avoid a number of health issues associated with too much time spent sitting. Having a stool creates the flexibility to sit when you want to.
