Jodie Boor is a racer of the obstacle course, who swears as a contradictory therapy – just like switching between hot and cold treatment, as her recovery. She and her husband paid for a lot of membership in the gym and produced a 20 -minute car several times a week to get into saunas and ice baths, requiring a booron needed to cure her sore body. It was as long as they decided to invest in health at home.
“The gym became unreliable. Half of the time, the amenities were closed or inappropriate, and we drove all the way there to just find out,” says Booro Yahoo. “So we have done a few studies to find out if our home has space for cold, how much it would cost and care.”
In early April, they had a hot tub in their garage and bought a pair of compression shoes, which they also use for recovery. Just five months after the designated wellness space, Boor feels a significant improvement.
“I go to a cold blowing five days a week, and I use compression shoes probably six or seven days a week,” she says. “I really felt better, not only physically, but I also think he also has a positive mental effect.”
With its new cold dive, the booron (literally) immerses his leg into the growing trend of wellness home: the growth of living spaces designed with health at the forefront. Meanwhile, Funny Carmadelle, a functional medicine specialist, went much further. After 2019 The daughter suffered health problems, Carmadelle was concerned about the environment and decided to build her dream home-tai, which is made of installation that does not contain formaldehyde, and materials, shield electromagnetic fields (EMF).
“I saw that it’s not just that [my children] eating but also that lifestyle environment began to play some of their health [issues] “Sleep, mold exposure, frequency, everything is similar,” says Carmadelle. [having] The small VOC paint and the belief that the ventilation was properly performed, the air conditioner was properly performed. Make sure the water is clean and properly purified. ‘
Laura Barrera, Miami’s real estate agent, says her district customers are asking for wellness features such as One Carmadelle – so much that all her business is for selling residences, focusing on health.
“It is about applying wellness throughout the process,” explains Barrera. “Looking at the construction of the construction and make sure that all the substances are not toxic.” Studies on the state of wellness real estate show that this first health approach to home construction and purchase is gaining momentum. The question is why – is it possible to achieve without fate?
What is wellness real estate?
World Health Institute (GWI) since 2018 Watched the industry, describing it as “the environment, actively designed, built and operating in order to support holistic health of passengers, visitors and community.” This includes the creation of “better” commercial buildings after Fitwel and wells certificates, but even more focused on the properties of residential houses. Gwi Senior Researcher Ophelia Yeung says Yahoo is that it is a home with “Having Outside Human Health” and “Welfare” design, which is what becomes a priority of late home buyers.
Although many wellness homes have many pools, saunas and equinox inspired by gyms, Yeung notes that recent research also emphasizes the positive less visible elements of lights, quiet spaces, effective ventilation-paws for physical, mental and emotional health.
Studies show that interest in holistic wellness has grown over the years, but the tendency to involve it in the home during pandemic. “People suddenly realized that the internal environment could affect their physical and mental health,” says Yeung. Poor air circulation increased the risk of the disease and the insulation affected emotional well -being. “It seems that everyone just woke up and decided, We want natural light, we want images of nature, we want to see green things”.
The connection between environmental and health is also supported by research, from noise pollution damage and the benefits of unhealthy food opportunities to nearby foods to the vicinity. World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 Reported that nearly 24% of the world’s deaths were related to environmental factors, including air pollution, chemical influence and radiation. However, slow -moving infrastructure changes have led more people to solve these problems themselves, directly on their threshold. For some, this means that they need to change their homes, build a wellness -oriented home from scratch, or move to the wellness community with like -minded neighbors. For example, outside the Atlantic is the Serenbe, a wellness community built through rural acres, focusing on growing fresh food to residents and nurturing together.
What is healthy?
“It is important that people think, Oh, my other homes. I want to make sure it is good for my health“Says Yeung,” but most of us are certainly not clear what that means. “
There is no one approach to the development of health real estate; Needs vary depending on location, climate and budget. For some so -called wellness communities, this may mean advanced air and water filtration or circadian lighting; For others, small VOC paint and mold are resistant to building materials. According to Douglas Elliman’s real estate broker, Elena Sarkssian, New Yorkers want to pay a premium for such simple things like more green space, and luxury buildings are happy to like their health -inspired offers.
But it can also encourage “good washing”, GWI emphasizes. “There is no shortage of construction projects worldwide, which add several spa -like luxury amenities and trade itself.” Effective wellness real estate projects will include design features, amenities, politics and programming that take into account many or all health (physical, mental/spiritual, social, social, The project may have different emphasis and methods to serve its target population. ”
After all, Yeung says, “It’s very difficult for people to say that there is a full checklist.” Even individual wellness homes are very different from the point of view, although specialists like Carmadelle offer guidelines for healthier living spaces.
Home Sweet Health House?
Heaven is the limit when it comes to costs and efforts that can be designed to create a wellness home. Carmadelle – This was certified in construction biology and the contractor’s license to create its own healthy living space with wired electronics to reduce the effect of radio frequency and install a 900 -worth of reverse osmosis water filter. However, those who do not have budget budgets have the opportunity to choose which are cheaper and thinking.
“Lighting is so important,” she says, explaining how brightness and color temperature can change the atmosphere of the room. Larger windows or outdoor porches that cause natural light can have a major impact.
Pro-social design, such as sitting places outdoors, promoting a neighbor’s interaction, is what the Yeung appreciates and is also inside personal spaces. “As a quiet space, your little office or exercise corner, if you want to broadcast a yoga class from home.
“Boor” is a cold in his garage, where she spends the morning relaxed, recovering and listening to music. She became such a shrine that she didn’t want to leave for the upcoming holiday. “I sank a little bit to be away from my home for a while and I will not have access to [the space]”She says.
