#ChampionMom – Why a Happy Home is a Healthy Home
Thursday November 3, 2016
A home is so much more than just walls and floors. What really makes a home are the feelings and memories shared within its walls.
"Here's kind of my motto - if you're not happy at home, you're not happy anywhere else."
-Angie Harmon
A truly happy home is worth much more than its weight in gold. You should feel safe, comfortable, and yourself in the place that you live. When your kiddo comes running out of their room doing a goofy dance in their pajamas, or your partner decides to do something extra special to make you feel loved, those are the memories that build your house into a home. Love and laughter are at the root of happiness and are a key aspect to a happy and healthy home.
"Remember laughing? Laughter enhances the blood flow to the body's extremities and improves cardiovascular function. Laughter releases endorphins and other natural mood elevating and pain-killing chemicals, improves the transfer of oxygen and nutrients to internal organs.
Laughter boosts the immune system and helps the body fight off disease, cancer cells as well as viral, bacterial and other infections. Being happy is the best cure of all diseases!"
― Patch Adams
Laughter has so many benefits physiologically but is not the only way to maintain a happy home. Keeping your home clean is an essential aspect towards relieving stress and maintaining your health.
