We hope you don’t need these tips
With the country in the thickest wave of coronavirus, counting thousands of cases every day, it is possible that while you are reading these lines, you or someone close to you is among them.
Although it is the third summer that we are going through under these conditions, the second red line of the test is accompanied most of the time with a lot of anxiety, worry and disturbance. Emotions that, combined with the necessity of isolation, create an unpleasant environment in which you are called upon to operate in the following days. We lived it, we live it and nothing excludes the possibility of living it again.
That’s why we’ve put together some of those that could help take care of your physical and mental health, according to what Physiotherapist Alana Murrihy told Vogue Australia and Laura Henshaw.
At this point let us remind you that every organization is different. In case of symptoms, you should not undertake any exercise and consult your personal doctor.
Engage in gentle exercises that can also be done at home
As Murrihy reports, prolonged inactivity can take a toll on your organs and muscles, causing symptoms such as fatigue. A gentle walk around the house or garden would provide you with plenty of fresh air and vitamin D. But even from your sofa or bed, you could improve your oxygen levels by taking deep breaths in four times. For a certain period of time, the vertical posture will also help.
Quality food and proper hydration
When the body is dealing with a virus, it often does not hydrate properly due to a lack of appetite and energy to prepare a meal. However, adequate hydration and proper nutrition are critical to recovery time and blood pressure maintenance.
This will be helped by the electrolytes, vitamins C, D and zinc, which improve the function of the immune system. According to Murrigy, 1 liter of water before noon and 1 more throughout the rest of the day ensures your hydration, as research reports.
Try to reduce stress
Even if you belong to that percentage of people who do not worry about the outcome of their health, forced isolation significantly affects your psychology and increases stress. For some days you will have to leave your routine, sport, work. Instead, you could do things that you have been putting off because of your daily routine. Relaxation is different for everyone and could translate to a book, a few minutes of meditation, or a movie on Netflix.
We hope you don’t need these tips. But if it happens, your doctor’s instructions and these simple steps may help this period pass more easily.
