4 Home Improvements for Better Health

You’ve probably considered updating parts of your home, but have you thought of the health benefits of those renovations? Though some may be costly, home improvements can yield future savings and a higher quality of life. Before tearing down your walls, decide which projects are worth investing in to better your health. 

Is a Healthier Home Worth the Investment?

While you’re probably able to take on the cost of minor improvements, some large-scale renovation projects may require you to explore financing options, such as taking out a personal loan or getting a home equity loan.

It’s important to remember that you’re investing in your health, so you shouldn’t feel too guilty about spending on home improvements that will enhance your quality of life. However, regardless of your budget, there are ways you can create a healthier living space.

If you plan to invest in home upgrades to improve your health, here are four affordable projects to consider:

1. Adding a Home Gym

It’s easy to push off exercising when you don’t have time to go to the gym. However, if you’re keen on keeping up with your fitness, investing in an at-home gym may be a smart investment. With a home fitness center, you can avoid paying for a gym membership, skip the commute, and workout in privacy.

While adding a home gym can be costly, you can save money by purchasing equipment from a trusted provider that offers flexible financing solutions, so you can pay over time. In addition, you can start by selecting a few multi-purpose items and continually add on when you have the budget.

2. Installing a Sauna 

If you’re looking for a way to add luxury to your home while also boosting your health, try installing an indoor sauna. Saunas help clear your body of toxins, increase your metabolism, and improve blood circulation. In addition, it can promote better mental health by reducing stress and anxiety levels.

While most homeowners choose to place their sauna in the bathroom, master bedroom, or garage, you can install a sauna wherever there is ample space. However, you’ll need to take structural conditions, such as electricity, ventilation, and plumbing, into deliberation. To ensure optimal placement, it’s best to contact a professional installer for recommendations.

3. Adding Natural Lighting

Natural lighting offers several benefits, such as improved mood, increased productivity, better sleep, and higher vitamin D levels. If your home lacks ample natural lighting, add or replace windows to allow more sunlight into your living space. Or, if your windows already let in enough sunlight, repaint your walls with a lighter color palette to brighten up the atmosphere.

While installing or replacing windows can cost upwards of $1,000 each, the benefits tend to outweigh the cost. Adding skylights or large windows throughout your home will help maximize natural lighting, promote better mental and physical health, and help you trim down energy costs down the road.

4. Updating Plumbing

You already understand the importance of drinking water every day, which is why plumbing is a crucial element when building a healthier home. Leaking, blocked, or clogged pipes can raise safety and health hazards, such as mildew, mold, or even contamination. If you notice water discoloration or unusual odors, be sure to test your drinking water and invest in proper plumbing maintenance.

By upgrading plumbing fixtures and installing a new filtered water system, you can ensure access to safe drinking water is always guaranteed. In addition, conditioned water can promote better skin and hair health, giving you more reason to consider plumbing for your next home improvement project.
