This World Cancer Day, let’s regain our perspective towards health by asking the question, “Are we taking the right steps to ensure a healthy life for ourselves and our families?”.
A concern that is widely relatable is that pollution levels are on a constant rise. The layers of dust not only dent the appearance of our home but also our health, causing cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, and diseases such as asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, and possibly cancer. Even conditions like obesity and mental illness can cause serious long term problems, if left unaddressed. With increasing stress levels, anxiety and disrupted sleep patterns, even personal relationships are at stake here.
So, how can we curb this? Baby steps. To name a few – plant more trees, exercise more often, and meditate regularly. But we know what this is easier said than done, and that’s why we have made it our responsibility to provide a healthy and sustainable life to our home owners, buying properties in Chennai.
The Bloomingdale and Cerus have exquisite yoga spaces that are spacious and comfortable. The art of practicing yoga helps in controlling the mind, body and soul. It brings balance to our daily chaotic routines and helps in attaining the much needed tranquillity and inner peace.
Research says that 30 minutes of walking every day reduces the incidence of obesity. Trellis’ walking tracks are surrounded by plush greenery, so that its residents can squeeze in a quick walk anytime, eliminating the agony of stepping onto the polluted roads outside. What’s more is that the plants and trees help rejuvenate the mind, correcting disturbed sleep pattern
Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition that affects children and adolescents. We need to ensure that our children are physically active and enjoy plenty of natural sunlight and fresh air. Habitat has multiple outdoor play areas, which provide a suitable environment for kids to play, keeping them healthy – physically and emotionally.
Swimming is one of the most fun ways to stay in good shape. It improves endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular and lung function, as well. Appaswamy’s flats in Chennai such as Capella have beautiful swimming pools, that one can jump into and feel relaxed almost instantly.
Living in close proximity to a hospital is always reassuring, especially with elders at home. Reputed hospitals like Apollo and Vijaya, that provide world-class healthcare facilities, are just a stone’s throw away from our properties, Clover and Capella.
It is now apparent that health considerations play an indispensable role in our home purchase decision. Apart from value growth and price considerations, make sure to plug in the availability of health-related amenities into your decision matrix.
The value of health is not just the price that you pay. It’s much more than that.
