4 Pillars of a Healthy Home
**Structure**: This pillar focuses on the physical integrity and safety of the home itself. A healthy home should have a sound structure, free from issues like structural damage, leaks, mold, or other hazards that could compromise the safety and health of its occupants. Proper insulation, ventilation, and maintenance are also essential aspects of this pillar.
**Ecosystem** (Inside the Structure) This pillar emphasizes the quality of the indoor environment, including air and water quality. It encompasses factors such as indoor air pollution (e.g., from volatile organic compounds or radon), temperature and humidity control, and access to clean and safe drinking water. Ensuring a healthy ecosystem inside the home is crucial for the well-being of its occupants.
**Your Body **: This pillar highlights the importance of the physical health and well-being of the people living in the home. It includes factors like nutrition, exercise, and access to healthcare. A healthy home should support the overall health of its occupants by providing a safe and nurturing environment for their bodies to thrive.
**Your Mental/Spiritual State **: This pillar focuses on the psychological and emotional well-being of the home’s occupants. It acknowledges that a healthy home is not just about physical health. But also about creating a supportive and positive atmosphere that promotes mental and emotional well-being. Stress reduction, emotional support, and a sense of community can contribute to this aspect of a healthy home.
In summary, the four pillars of a healthy home provide a comprehensive framework for assessing and improving the living environment. By addressing the structural integrity, indoor ecosystem, physical health, and mental/spiritual well-being of the occupants, individuals can create a holistic and nurturing home environment that promotes overall health and happiness.
We want you to have a Healthy Home! That’s why we regularly hold classes at our home, online, and throughout the Twin Cities where we share information that we’ve learned on these specific topics. It is our hope that these learning sessions will empower you to make healthy choices for your family.
If you share an interest in our Healthy Home Mission, we would love it if you would join us at one of our Healthy Home Coaching Sessions.
