Most of us will remain cooped up at home for many more weeks or months as health officials and government leaders monitor the spread of coronavirus and debate when and how to reopen. Boredom, stress and anxiety can lead to unhealthy eating and exercise habits that may feel like indulgent self-care at first, but tend to make us feel worse in the long run. Sticking to a normal routine and schedule for work, exercise, leisure and extra mental breaks throughout the day such as a short walk outside or a video call with a friend can help us stay healthy while we’re under stay-at-home orders.
Another important factor is sticking to a healthy diet. Avoid high-fat, carbohydrate-heavy foods like chips, ice cream and frozen meals. Include at least two vegetable servings with every meal, and protein such as meat or beans that will keep you feeling full and satisfied.
Be careful about what you choose to drink. Sodas can have 150 calories or more per serving, and the equivalent of 15 or more tablespoons of sugar, and many fruit juices have added sugar, artificial flavorings, preservatives and other ingredients that aren’t healthy.
Instead, choose low-sugar or no-sugar drinks that are made with organic and all-natural ingredients. We love NADI Rosehip drinks, which come in original Wild Rosehip, Rosehip Grape and Rosehip Pomegranate flavors. Each of them provides a great dose of Vitamin C, B Vitamins, antioxidants, polyphenols and other healthy nutrients that give your body a natural boost of energy that lasts all day.
The only sugar in our drinks is naturally occurring from the fruits we make them with, and we never add artificial ingredients or flavorings to NADI drinks.
When you need a refreshing break, try this tasty beverage to brighten your day:
