Is Your Home Keeping You Healthy? ‘WELL’ Will Soon Tell You
I have been working with a company that works with a firm called DELOS over the last few weeks.
DELOS is an awesome company that is being led by Dr. Deepak Chopra, among others.
I love the idea of the company – helping people understand and effectively place wellness elements into their lifestyle.
Whether its diet, air, water, light, or food intake, we can all get healthier and more efficient. DELOS, among many other practitioners out there, is helping lead the way as a national brand and face of the wellness movement.
Today, TIME, did a really nice write up on the company. Check it out —— here.
Some excerpts from the piece:
“Delos, recently partnered with Columbia University Medical Center to conduct a four-year review of 4,000 scientific studies relating to health and the environment, including building technologies. Their findings are now part of a database that helps builders create spaces that are more health- and wellness-friendly.”
“Here’s how it works. The data that the team of medical experts, policymakers and designers developed comprise a new certification standard that Delos calls WELL. To meet the WELL Building Standard, spaces must contribute to a person’s well being by providing, among other amenities, filtered or purified air and water, as well as adequate opportunities for fitness, and even psychological comfort and nourishment in the form of proper lighting to balance mood and reduce stress.”
