If you are one of the many people who feel like technology has failed to deliver on its promises to make your life easier, more productive, and generally better, this one is for you. Here are five tech-based home upgrades that can transform your house into a personal wellness oasis.
Radiant Heating
You know that bare floors are healthier for you than carpeting. They don’t trap allergens, dust, and microscopic invaders so your home can stay cleaner and safer. But, let’s face it, you dread taking your feet out from under the warm covers each morning. Well, radiant floor heating promises no more putting your feet down onto cold floors, even in the bathroom. Look for ready to install panels or rolls that you can install yourself.
Connected Showers
Imagine yourself relaxing in a hot shower, switching to steam, with mood-boosting lights and soft, soothing music playing. If you like that image, consider adding a smart shower system to your home. While this will likely entail a complete bathroom remodel, the health and wellness benefits are potentially huge. Companies like Thermasol offer complete packages and individual components to help you customize your new shower experience to your needs.
Smart Home Security Systems
Never worry about who might be lurking outside with a smart home security system. They can include everything from alarms that alert you and the authorities in the event of an intruder, cameras to help you monitor activity outside your door, turn your lights on and off remotely, and cloud backup of the data. Look for systems that can connect to your phone and smart devices for a seamless and integrated experience that can help you keep stress levels under control.
Daylight Alarms
If you struggle to get out of bed in the morning, a daylight alarm may help. These handy devices, also called sunrise alarm clocks, attempt to mimic natural sunrise by gradually increasing light output starting about 30 minutes before your scheduled alarm. They help prepare your body for the morning while you are still sleeping, which can make facing the alarm a better experience overall.
Tech-Enabled Bedding
Getting enough sleep is important for your physical and emotional well being. From smart-device enabled bases to connected mattresses and sheet sets, technology promises to help you get a good night’s sleep. Look for products that will automatically adjust to your position and body temperature for the best results and greatest benefit from smart bedding.
Technology For Your Health
Instead of letting your devices run your life, put that technology to work for you. Making some tech-savvy upgrades in your home can help you feel more rested, comfortable, and secure which can help you maintain your overall health and wellness.
