In order to stop the spread of Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19), a countrywide lockdown was important. This virus is highly contagious and can be spread to one person from another person by simply talking and sitting next to each other.
During this lockdown period, people have found several other ways to keep themselves busy. People are playing indoor games, like ludo, carom, chess, video games, and watching movies and webseries. Not only this, but some people have also taken cooking as a hobby and try preparing different dishes and treating their families.
Sitting inside the homes for a longer period and eating is also a serious concern when you think about health, as frequent eating without any physical work can lead to weight gain, stress, anxiety, and other health issues.
To take care of all health-related issues a comprehensive health insurance policy can be purchased from a reliable company. There are several companies available in the market offering medical insurance with different features at different premium amounts to meet the needs of people.
When you’re sitting idle and thinking of all negative things, especially during this pandemic era we tend to have all sorts of thoughts which further increases stress. Now, the main question is ‘what is the solution to this.’ So I would suggest that all people across the nation should take this lockdown as an opportunity and start focusing on their physical as well as mental health. Everyone should start consuming healthy and stress reliving food items to keep themselves free from any kind of anxiety and stress. Some of the stress reliever food items are as follows:
Warm Milk
Warm milk is a highly recommended food item for a sound sleep at night. Milk contains healthy nutrients such as Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamins B2 and B12, and Protein that aid in relaxing the tense body muscles.
Nuts
Almonds and pistachios are the most common and recommended nuts due to their immune-boosting properties. These contain vitamins, zinc, healthy fat, fiber, and protein that helps in controlling blood sugar. Also, nuts contain magnesium which helps in lowering the level of blood pressure.
Turmeric
Turmeric is one of the essential food items in Indian kitchens and has great stress-relieving properties. It is widely known for reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. One can consume turmeric with milk as well which is quite popular as a turmeric latte in foreign countries.
Dark Chocolate
The dark chocolate if widely popular as it provides several health benefits while fulfilling your sugar cravings. Helps in reducing depression and blood pressure, dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants and maintains the level of good cholesterol, and improves brain function.
Whole Grains
Whole grains are the rich source of minerals, fiber, vitamins, protein, and other compounds that act as antioxidants. One can start the day with a whole-grain meal and it will help in managing weight by keeping the person fit during this quarantine period.
Citrus Fruits
Fruits that contain Vitamin C are essential for the absorption of iron and this makes oranges, lemons, pineapples, and grapes the most demanded fruits during this quarantine. Iron is the most important element for maintaining hemoglobin which helps in carrying oxygen in the blood. So during this period, instead of skipping a meal, try some fruits that contain Vitamin C.
