Gone Grey, Going Green: Shifting to a Countryside Lifestyle

Gone Grey, Going Green: Shifting to a Countryside Lifestyle

Have you ever considered relocating to the countryside? Are you sick of living in the concrete jungle and want to relocate to a more tranquil location?

Perhaps it’s time to start planning your own ideal country home.

So, here are some of the advantages you may want to consider when building your own dream home away from the city.

Less Pollution

Rural areas are far less unhealthy than cities in terms of air and noise pollution. Countryside locations are way quieter than the busy life of urban areas which is perfect for a more relaxed and comfortable living.

Physical Activity

Walking would be a terrific form of exercise and being surrounded by greenery free of pollution would be an additional advantage. According to findings reported by the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne, simply 15 minutes of daily walking can reduce the risk of early mortality by 22%.

Additionally, socializing would not be an issue. Because we Filipinos are known for our kind and inviting demeanor, the entire population in most rural areas probably knew each other.

Natural Light and Ventilation

The importance of natural lighting and ventilation in our homes cannot be overstated. Some cities have large buildings, dense constructions, and other impediments that restrict the natural components we require. It has also been established that cities are hotter due to a lack of green spaces, which are abundant in the countryside.

However, by constructing your ideal home in the countryside, you will be able to breathe cleaner air and enjoy natural lighting in your own home. You can completely appreciate architecture’s beauty, especially when it mixes seamlessly with nature.

Healthier Lifestyle

There is nothing more that can be asked in order to live a serene lifestyle. Just imagining yourself out of the chaotic and congested traffic can bring you some comfort. Living in the countryside benefits not only your physical but also your mental wellbeing. If you live in a stress-free atmosphere, there is nothing more you can ask for. It is also believed that a healthy atmosphere leads to a healthy lifestyle.
