DID YOU KNOW? 21% of Children Aged 12-19 Are Suffering from Obesity – How Can We Change That?
Childhood obesity is becoming a growing concern worldwide. In fact, recent studies show that 21% of children between the ages of 12 and 19 are now suffering from obesity. This troubling statistic highlights a serious health issue that needs immediate attention. While factors such as poor diet and physical inactivity are major contributors, the environment in which children grow up also plays a crucial role.
At Ananta Aspire, we firmly believe that the right living space can make a significant difference in encouraging a healthier lifestyle. After all, a home should do more than provide shelter—it should nurture well-being.
Why Is Childhood Obesity a Growing Issue?
Several factors are contributing to the rise in childhood obesity:
- Unhealthy Diets: Access to fast food, sugary drinks, and processed snacks makes it harder for children to maintain a balanced diet.
- Lack of Physical Activity: With more children spending time indoors on screens, they miss out on the physical activities essential for maintaining a healthy weight.
- Environmental Factors: Limited access to safe play areas or outdoor spaces can make it difficult for children to get the exercise they need.
How Can We Create Healthy Living Spaces?
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to combat childhood obesity is by creating a living environment that encourages physical activity and healthy habits. At Ananta Aspire, we’ve designed our community with this in mind. Here’s how:
1. Safe Play Areas for Kids
Physical activity is key to preventing obesity, and outdoor play is a great way to stay active. Our community features safe and well-maintained play areas where children can run, jump, and play to their heart’s content.
2. Green Spaces for Family Activities
Whether it’s a walk, jog, or bike ride, our beautifully landscaped green spaces are ideal for family outings. The benefits of regular exercise extend beyond physical health, positively impacting mental well-being too.
3. Kitchens That Encourage Healthy Cooking
Eating healthy starts in the kitchen. At Ananta Aspire, our spacious and modern kitchens make it easy for families to prepare wholesome meals. Involving children in cooking can also teach them the value of nutritious food.
4. Fitness and Wellness Facilities
Fitness isn’t just for adults. Our state-of-the-art wellness facilities, including gyms and yoga studios, make it easier for families to stay active together and lead a balanced lifestyle.
5. Promoting Mental Wellness
A healthy mind is just as important as a healthy body. Our peaceful surroundings and tight-knit community support emotional well-being, helping children and adults to thrive.

- Encourage outdoor activities: Limit screen time and encourage your children to play outdoors.
- Get involved in meal preparation: Teach your children how to cook healthy meals and enjoy nutritious snacks together.
