Healthy Homes Equal Healthy People

When we hear about wellness we often think that means going to the doctor, but the health of your house can also cause troubles. USA Today reports that “one in three homes in U.S. metropolitan areas have at least one problem such as water leaks, peeling paint, holes or rodents that could harm residents’ health or safety.” If your house has these issues, it could lead to health problems, such allergies and asthma.

As a result, the U.S. Surgeon General has been pushing for a “call to action” to get houses (and therefore, people) in better shape throughout the country.
