Dream Home

The house is one of the basic human needs. Everyone must hope to have their own home. A dream home that is able to make a happy and happy family life. Dream house is not only a big house but more likely in a beautiful house, has a cool enough space inside the house or outside the home. With a dream home, each family member will feel at home so they can feel home as heaven. As there is a saying that my house is my paradise, home sweet home.
The house is a place where we spend a minimum of 30% of our daily activities. Try to notice We sleep overnight at home. In the morning the children go to school, the husband goes to work but during the day or afternoon will go home and carry out activities at home. So we should make the house as a comfortable place to live so that we can make the house as a dream place to live.
To be comfortable inhabited, the house must also be kept clean and always healthy. We know that most illnesses suffered by people in the world start from viruses or bacteria that multiply in dirty homes.

Characteristics of a Healthy Home

Dream house is certainly not a difficult or easy thing. All depend on all residents. If all agreed to make the home as a place that must be maintained comfort then everything will be lighter. for that it's good we know what the characteristics of a healthy home.

1. Clean House
A healthy home is certainly a clean dwelling. even if a small house is clean, it will certainly make you feel at home. There is no rubbish littered, clean clean floors, non-damp walls and good drains. A healthy home must also be provided with good toilet. With a clean bathroom and toilet will make the house more comfortable. Imagine if we feel like urinating and there are no toilets it will certainly make us more bothered.
With a clean house will reduce the risk of developing ants, flies, rats and cockroaches and other disgusting animals. If the house is clean of all kinds of dirt, you will reduce the risk of diseases caused by dirty environments such as dengue fever, bubonic plague, Cholera and others.
House cleanliness can we do by diligently sweeping, mopping, and getting used to throw garbage in its place.

2. Good air circulation
a healthy home must have good air circulation. With regular air circulation the house will be fresher and not stuffy. The air that is distributed to each room also helps to prevent dampness and make the resident's breathing healthy.
With adequate air circulation in the home. It will make the occupants healthier. Try to imagine that if there is no good air circulation at home, it will certainly be stuffy. Then we only use a fan and it will make our bodies hurt, especially our lungs so unhealthy.
To get good air circulation, the house must have adequate windows and air ventilation. If the settlements are dense so that they do not have open space on the side, they can be tricked by making windows and vents in the front, and air discharging on the roof. open the window at the day so that air can enter the house. That way, the air in the house will feel fresher.

3. Availability of Clean Water
Water is one element that we use every day and almost every minute; for drinking, bathing, washing, etc. A healthy home, of course, must have sufficient clean water. The availability of clean water will ensure other needs are carried out properly. We cannot live without drinking. to drink of course must use healthy water. Healthy water is water that is non-toxic, colorless, odorless and contains no germs.
With enough clean water, other activities can be done more easily. Bathing and washing with clean water is certainly better than bathing and washing with dirty water.
To get clean water we can use wells or tap water. if you want to make a well we must pay attention to the distance of the well with a minimum of 10 meters septic tank. This is to guard against the possibility of bad bacteria entering well water.

4. Green garden
We can plant area around the house with various types of plants that can green the environment. If we do not have a broad expansion we must be creative. We can make a vertical garden. We can choose the type of plants according to the existing yard. If it's not broad, that's okay, what is important is that there are plants that are very useful for us. Enough with green plants that are divided in each room or a piece of garden in front or back of the house, as long as you have a source of oxygen.
We can even grow plants that can be consumed by families. Vegetables such as spinach, kale, chili, or other plants can be an option to grow. Likewise traditional medicinal plants such as ginger, turmeric, kencur, and others as garden fillers. this will be useful when we need. Besides beauty, oxygen-filled green room also have economic value that we can take.

5. Adequate lighting
A healthy home must also be fulfilled lighting. don't be too bright and don't be too dim. We can use windows and glass tiles to add lighting without increasing electricity costs. use lights that are bright enough, but don't blink but don't install lights that are too dim. if the lights are too bright or too dim it will certainly disturb the view. The lights are even worse in the children's study room will damage their eyes.
With good lighting will make the house not too humid, thereby reducing the growth of fungus and bad bacteria.
Hopefully this time I hope this time can add to our knowledge to realize our home as a dream home
