More than ever, it is time to look after yourself. Eat to care for your body and brain. Stay active physically and mentally. Sleep soundly. Keep up good lifestyle routines even when the travel, work and recreational restrictions ease.
Without good health, you can not help others.
Stay safe and find optimism emerging during the disruptions and restrictions. The skies are less polluted. The humdrum pattern of life now has a different flow. Find your own rhythm amongst the mayhem. Find and focus on positives wherever you can.
If you are at home, you now have a rare opportunity to shape your own day to build in eating zones that suit your hunger, to work when your mind is most productive, to sleep and wake up naturally with your body clock, and to break up your day with play and physical activity. Stress eating, comfort eating and drinking to relieve pressures are all real and may have peaked during the lock-down. For some starting tips to break the stress-comfort-food-relief cycles check this out.
And hopefully you have more time to prepare meals at home from basic essential ingredients, which will leave you feeling healthy. Home cooking from basic ingredients is a win-win situation: you will spend less money on food when you cook at home plus people who prepare and eat home-cooked meals are healthier. To save time and boost nutrition, check out these 8 easy tips.
This virus has not gone away and you need to stay super aware, maintain social distancing, and be incredibly hygienic with hand washing in line with health authorities guidelines. Wear a well fitted mask as directed by health authorities but, remember, a mask does not replace good hygiene, social distancing, isolation, quarantine and other health protecting requirements. Having good overall health appears to be very very important.
it is perfectly okay not to eat perfectly
It is perfectly okay to eat more one day and less the next. It is actually very normal.
It is perfectly okay to balance your food choices over a week and not lock into or worry about daily targets.
It is perfectly okay to save up red-extras (you might call them forbidden foods but I don’t) for a feast.
