Living in a High-Rise Building Above 16th Floor? Dr. Mehta Discusses the Health Risks and Remedies
Living in high-rise buildings is the new trend in cities, which offers great views and relief from noise pollution. But did you know that living above the 16th floor can have a negative impact on your health? Renowned health coach Dr Mikki Mehta recently shed light on this topic on Instagram and explained the potential risks associated with it and their solutions.
According to Dr Mikki Mehta, “The oxygen level on the upper floors of high-rise buildings is slightly lower than on the ground. Air quality at high altitudes in urban areas is often poor, with pollutants settling and remaining in the atmosphere for a long time. This is an invisible threat, which can gradually affect various parts of the body.”
Effects on Health
Dr Mehta said that the distance from the Earth’s magnetic field at altitude also affects the body. “When we are away from the Earth’s natural magnetic field, it affects our body in the form of instability and imbalance. This leads to faster ageing of organs, and can have a negative impact on blood pressure, heart and respiratory function,” he said.
However, these effects are mild in healthy individuals. But over time, it can gradually damage health.
Solutions and Tips
To avoid these risks, Dr Mikki Mehta suggests some simple remedies:
- Spend time on the ground: Get down on the ground at least twice a day, walk on the grass, and breathe deeply in fresh air.
- Look up at the sky and get sunlight: This helps balance the body and mind.
- Take the advice of Vastu Shastra: Design your home in accordance with natural energy.
- Maintain good air quality: Adopt measures to improve indoor air flow and reduce pollution.
Altitude and Pollution
Some experts believe that air pollution levels are lower at altitudes, as most pollutants such as vehicle exhaust and dust generated from construction work remain close to the ground. However, Dr. Mehta stressed that distance from natural elements can affect the balance of the body.
Conclusion
Living in high-rise buildings has become a part of the modern lifestyle, but the health risks associated with it cannot be ignored. According to Dr. Mikki Mehta, if you live on upper floors, it is very important to maintain a connection with natural elements and regularly improve your environment for a balanced and healthy life.
