1. Grow your Own Organic Vegetables

You can never be sure what chemicals have been used when buying fruit and vegetables from your local supermarket, and by allocating a quiet corner of the garden, you can start planning an organic garden and create a small vegetable patch. Add to that a compost heap, and you can put all food scraps to good use, which can be used to nourish your vegetable garden, or you could build a small greenhouse shed that enables you to grow year-round produce. 

2. Install a Water Filtration System 

When you calculate how much you spend on bottled drinking water, it makes perfect sense to install a water filtration system, such as the AlkaViva water ionizer that is available from an online supplier. A countertop alkaline water filter will remove 99.9% of contaminants, ensuring that you and your family drink pure water with no chemicals or additives.

3. Purify the Air 

There are many different air purifying systems that you can install at home, which will remove pollution from the air, and your children are far less likely to suffer from airborne allergies. 

Air purifiers are inexpensive and can be placed in any room, and investing in 3 or 4 units will help to maintain a high quality of air purity throughout the home. If you would like to view a few fine examples of air purifying devices, a Google search will take you to a supplier, who would have a wide range of domestic units that can clean the air circulating in your home.

4. Invest in Fitness Apparatus

You could always turn that spare room into a fitness centre, with a couple of dumbbells and a barbell, plus a bench to help with workouts. You could invest in a combination weight training apparatus that can be used in many ways, and by all the family, which is something that everyone will make good use of.

5. Create a No-Smoking Zone

If you, or any member of your family smokes cigarettes, now is the ideal time to quit, and if no one smokes, then put a “No Smoking Zone” sign by the front door, which tells guests you live in a smoke-free zone. It can be very difficult to quit smoking, and if you find it hard to give up, invest in a vaping starter kit, which can deliver a controlled dose of nicotine.

It doesn’t take much to make your living space a healthier zone, and by doing all, or some of the above, you are creating a healthier place for you and your family. There are other things you can do to make your home a healthier place, and for what it costs, improving the quality of the air and drinking water is very worthwhile.
