You???ll spend about 25 years in your home. Here???s how to make it healthier:

1. Put plants in every room to help clean the air of toxic chemicals. Peace lilies, for example, soak up benzene (from dry-cleaned clothing).

2. Use chemical-free paint.

3. Natural light can improve alertness and boost your mood. No daylight inside? Then use full-spectrum light bulbs, which mimic natural light.

4. Permanent press bedding is sometimes treated with formaldehyde, a suspected carcinogen. Choose chemical-free cotton bedding.

5. An ionizing filter cleans the air and helps restore the ion balance, disturbed by the electrical fields surrounding appliances.
