Having a healthy heart starts at home. Poor indoor air quality in your home is hard on your heart and health overall.

Research has shown there is a direct correlation between indoor air quality and certain disease risks, including coronary heart disease and stroke.

Improving your indoor air quality is an important way to ensure a healthy heart for many years to come.

Here are six of the top ways to improve your indoor air quality and help your heart:

  1. Remove your shoes – Take off your shoes when you enter your house to keep the chemicals, pollen, dirt and dust you accumulate outside.
  2. Create a no smoking policy – If you smoke, do it outside. This is one of the best things you can do to protect your indoor quality.
  3. Limit the use of aerosols – Aerosols should be avoided as they can cause skin reactions, aggravate allergies as well as trigger heart problems.
  4. Monitor humidity – By monitoring the humidity in your home, you can avoid the development of mold which can cause serious health problems.
  5. Air purifiers – If you have breathing problems or allergies, an investment in an air purifier may be worth it to keep the air clean in your home… see more information below! 
  6. Houseplants – Add some nature to your indoor living space and improve your indoor air quality with inexpensive houseplants that can improve the air in your home.
