Tips to avoid gaining weight during the Corona crisis
The self-isolation imposed by the Covid-19 disease on the world and the resulting tension, has caused an increase in the demand for food, according to the statistics of the World Health Organization.
To avoid overweight and obesity while staying at home, the following is recommended:
• Balanced diet: It is highly dependent on vitamins, dietary fiber, proteins and antioxidants that are essential for the health of the body. It also works on the health system to support the immune system and reduce the risk of chronic diseases and infectious diseases.
• Hydration of the body: by consuming at least 3 liters of water per day
• Promote mental health: which is the key to physical health and through which the body can be severely affected or not affected by the infection of the Corona virus. It is always advised to take positive
thoughts and occupy oneself with mental activities that require the mind to be occupied in a positive way, thus avoiding thinking about eating.
• Physical activity: The fastest and easiest way to gain excess weight is through lack of movement, sitting and sleeping for a long time, which means less burning of calories and fat, and consequently weight gain.
Care must be taken to avoid sitting for a long time and moving the body every half an hour to ensure the activation of the metabolism and distract the mind from thinking about food.
In the event that it is not possible to exercise outdoors due to the high temperatures, it is possible to do some home exercises that ensure maintaining physical and mental health in good condition, such as
yoga, which not only gives you physical and mental flexibility, but also contributes to burning calories and strengthening muscles.
• Good sleep: Sleeping for at least 8 hours a day is essential in combating the constant feeling of hunger and the desire to eat. Sleep also helps repair damaged body cells and eliminate toxins, as well as strengthening immunity.
• Social communication: Like sleep disturbance, social isolation and lack of communication with others generate a great feeling of emptiness that can only be filled by food. Therefore, make sure to
keep the channels of communication with family and friends open at all times, and if it is not possible to meet directly with
them, communicating via phone, video calls or social media keeps you in a stable mental and mental state and does not push you to overeat and gain excess weight.
