Health eHome
March 12, 2009
Healthy Child, Healthy World has partnered with WebMD to launch a virtual healthy home, Health eHome. They have articles and videos for every room in your home to tell you may be negatively affecting your family’s health.
I’m a big list maker so I love the checklists like How to Keep Your Child Lead-Free, Fighting Off Allergy Symptoms and Shopping for Safe Toys.
There is also a Health eHome Check that assess your personal household habits and exposures and provides you with a personalized report and action plan for creating a greener, cleaner and safer home for your family.
One thing I learned to improve air quality is to always turn on the stove hood when turning on the stove or oven. This vents the gas, smoke, and humidity while you cook. I NEVER use the hood ( except when I burn things and of course, I NEVER do that either! ).
Another simple thing a video mentioned is to open the windows in the kitchen for 4-5 minutes every day to bring in fresh air. Aaaaahhhh, I love the smell of fresh air. I’m definitely going to be taking Health eHome up on that idea.
Check out the Health eHome today and tell us what tips you will take away for your home!
