Chandanagar is indeed a place where you get the best of both worlds. Not only can you live connected to everything in the city that matters but also stay in a locality that is lush, green and is definitely good for living a healthy life. How? According to research living in green localities has been shown to promote health and wellbeing. Plus with the Ameenpur Lake in the vicinity, you’ve also got a great lake view in Hyderabad in store for you. Be it jogging by the lake or just breathing in the serenity, here’s why Chandanagar is the perfect locality for you:
Physical activity/exercise
There is a growing body of evidence indicating that physical activity levels may be influenced by the urban environment. Studies have found associations between availability of urban green space and physical activity levels. The provision of urban green spaces such as parks provides an important place for people to be active. A significant proportion of vigorous physical activity in childhood takes place in urban parks. Urban green space is therefore particularly important in urban areas where access to the open countryside is limited.
Indeed, accessibility of green spaces influences not just the likelihood of physical activity being undertaken but also its frequency. It is also linked to a lower likelihood of being overweight or obese. Green spaces, therefore, may help facilitate active lifestyles in the urban setting. In addition, they may be used as therapeutic spaces for rehabilitative exercises, such as for persons with coronary artery disease, and have been associated with lower rates of diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Mental health and wellbeing
Urban green space may provide residents with opportunities for contact with the natural environment. Such contact has positive restorative effects on mental health and wellbeing, and may also help to provide a buffer against stressful life events. The benefits of green space on mental health and wellbeing may also arise from participation in activities occurring in these spaces, such as social interaction or physical exercise. These benefits include the alleviation of stress and anxiety, and improved mood and attention.
Social contact
As noted earlier, urban green spaces also provide opportunities for social interactions to take place. This, in turn, could help reduce social isolation, generate social capital, and lead to greater personal resilience and wellbeing. This seems to be particularly important for elderly population groups. Interestingly, in a few studies, social factors such as neighborliness had a greater influence on the frequency of use of urban parks than the physical features of the parks.
The sheer amount of low pollution compared to the rest of the city, the close proximity to the Ameenpur lake and hills, not only makes it one of the best places to visit in Hyderabad but also makes this locality all the more worthwhile. Imagine coming home every day to an area where you can just release your stress after a long hard day at work. Feels heavenly, right? What are you waiting for then?
