COVID-19 really shook things up for all of us, especially when it comes to what we eat and how we live. It's been a real troublemaker, messing with our health in a big way – packing on those extra pounds, stressing us out, and messing with our sleep (Antwi et al., 2021). I know you're not new to this information! You've felt the effects of this whole pandemic and you're probably eager to take back control of your well-being. So, let's team up and I'll give you the lowdown on some easy achievable changes you can make today to your diet and lifestyle that will seriously boost your health.
Here are a few things I'll discuss in the next few blog posts:
- People piling on the pounds, thanks to emotional eating, stress snacking, and way too much fast food.
- Stress levels hitting the roof, and not in a good way. We're talking about feeling all kinds of stress, anxiety, and even becoming full-blown hypochondriacs all the while contributing to sleep disruption, which increases our anxiety. It's a viscious circle of woe!
- Tossing and turning all night, or worse, barely catching any Zs. d.
- Smoking and booze becoming way too close for comfort – like they're our new BFFs.
- Googling like crazy for nutrition tips, but seriously, you're better off not taking advice from Dr. Google or your social media friends. They're not exactly top-tier sources for good grub guidance.
So, if you're eager to turn things around, stick with me. I'll introduce you to some awesome tweaks you can make to your routine that'll make a world of difference for your health. More to come next week. See you then. Let's do this!
