Clean house.

Vacuuming, dusting and laundering may seem like a drag sometimes but a clean house is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Too much dust around the house can irritate allergies, making you sluggish and adverse to exercise. Unlaundered clothes, towels and bed sheets provide a breeding ground for immunity-weakening bacteria in your home.

Once a week set aside one hour to dust, vacuum and run sheets and towels through the washing machine. Don't forget to vacuum or wipe down furniture.
