The Comfort Trap: How to Enjoy the Convenience of Home Without Sacrificing Your Health

Being at home is great. You get the comfort and convenience without dealing with traffic. But, is it worth your health and well-being?

We spend 90% of our time indoors (that means we are inside nearly 22 hours a day). Put another way, if you live till 90 years old, you would have spent 81 of those years indoors. This is why we are termed the "Indoor Generation."

Why is Indoors Bad For Your Physical & Mental Health?

That's what I want to know because I noticed my overall mood and energy going down. So I did the research and here's what I found.

• Lack of Sun Light
• Exposure to Poor Air-Quality
• Sedentary Lifestyle
• Low Sensory Stimulation

Yes, those are general or high-level negatives but how does that relate to me?

What You Need to Know About The Risks

• We need daylight. It is good for your mood. Let's not forget the get your daily dose of Vitamin D.
• With limited outdoor light, our 24-hour circadian body clock is disrupted. This impacts your energy, sleep quality and overall health.
• Poor air quality have been linked with cognitive impairment, stress, depression, and lack of focus/productivity.
• Sitting all day results in a host of health issues - from a physical and internal standpoint. At one point, sitting all day was just as bad as smoking.
• Doing the same routine tasks in the same environment leads to writer's block, less creativity and imagination. And boredom...
