HEALTH AND COVID-19

“The human body has been designed to resist an infinite number of changes and attacks brought about by its environment. The secret of good health lies in successful adjustment to changing stresses on the body.” – Harry J. Johnson

Coronavirus has become a worldwide concern for everyone. The virus not only demands to stay indoors but also to take precautionary measures related to hygiene and sanitation.

Added to the fear of contracting the virus in a pandemic such as COVID-19 are the significant changes to our daily lives as our movements are restricted in support of efforts to contain and slow down the spread of the virus. Faced with new realities of working from home, temporary unemployment, home-schooling of children, and lack of physical contact with other family members, friends, and colleagues, we must look after our mental, as well as our physical, health.

But every coin has two faces, if we consider the positive aspects of this virus we will find out that people nowadays are more health-conscious. Many people by standing indoors had started doing exercises and yoga. Cycling also had become a good pass time for people.

Regardless of the precautions, we need to take it had made us develop some good and essential habits like washing hands-on regular intervals, washing vegetables and fruits before cooking, and much more which was not kept in mind precisely before.

COVID-19 had increased us to risk of getting infected and sick but at the same time had taught us important things to make our immune system much stronger than before. We are getting to understand the importance of good health which we had forgotten due to work stress and restless manpower.

This pandemic had made us stronger than before both mentally and physically we can appreciate the healthy homemade food and its importance now. Fast food is missed though but this time had told us that we can survive to live a healthy and peaceful lifestyle.

If considered this hard time had made us realize the essence of a healthy body and a subtle mind.
