With the right organization and interior design, your home can help you maintain and improve your health in a variety of ways, from improving health and preventing disease to encouraging clean eating, sustainable living, safety, fitness, serenity, and joy.

Whether you’re building your dream home or decorating your new rental, this book will help you keep your fitness goals and stay on track for a long and healthy life.
