Make your home healthier with these 20 tips

Did you know that studies have shown that you eat less in a brightly lit kitchen? That's just one of the useful tips I found reading this article about creating a healthier home. Going through each of the major rooms in your home -- the living room, the bedroom, the bathroom, and the kitchen -- the article helps you target problem areas all over your house.

For instance, those of you who have trouble sleeping (and I know there's a lot of you), try to keep your bedroom as quiet as peaceful as possible. That may mean leaving your laptop in the living room and removing the TV, but once you teach your body that the bedroom is for sleeping, it will help you relax and get in those zzzzzs. Other tips include putting in quality, but indirect light, in your living room and (if you can do so without flashing the neighbors) leaving the blinds up in your bathroom so that the bright, natural light will reset your body's clock each morning.

So if you're getting ready to spring clean, take a look at these tips and see if you can improve the "health" of your home!
