How to COPE with the current situation?🤷🏻♀️
.
👉What are the biggest dangers of self-quarantine for your body and brain?
🛑Loneliness and inactivity🛑
.
Depriving yourself of social connections, even temporarily, doesn’t feel good. Actually, being lonely seems to be as deadly as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
.
The effects of quarantine can be psychologically damaging in the long term.
The American Psychological Association reports that social isolation carries a number of health risks. Feeling isolated can lead to poor sleep, poor cardiovascular health, lower immunity, depressive symptoms, and impaired executive function.
.
Even relatively short periods of physical inactivity can have an impact on your health. A study in the Journal of Applied Physiology suggests that just two weeks of inactivity can begin to negate gains to your heart and muscle mass.
.
👉SOLUTION:
✔️Virtually reach out to others, schedule skype calls with friends and family
✔️Establish a routine. If you’re working from home, it can be helpful to structure your time much like a regular workday.
✔️Consider an at-home workout plan. All you need is your body to do pushups, squats, lunges, crunches, and burpees.
✔️Stock up on some healthy, versatile staples, too, to help fend off feeling too sluggish.

LET US KNOW what are you STRUGGLING WITH the most!!
