Long stay at home, lack of physical activity, and reduced social intercourse have obvious consequences on our body and mind.
Lack of walking or other physical activity greatly affects our mental health.
This explains why now (or in the days ahead) you feel sad, easily irritated, or occasionally have uncomfortable feelings that seem to come from nothing.
Just 2 weeks of inactivity is enough to weaken your muscle mass. Studies have even shown that obese people who exercise for a long time and then take a month off lose all the improvement they may have received while doing aerobics.
Staying home for days causes muscle weakness so it is important to exercise at home.
Of course, this difficult period is associated with post-traumatic events, depression, confusion, fear or anger. The people most susceptible to this are those who have had or continue to have mental health problems.
However much a person suffers from the consequences of quarantine, it also depends on the character of the person. For extroverts, who want to go out all the time and get in touch with other people, it's harder than for introverts who find comfort in their favorite armchair and book.
Remember to exercise and eat well at the same time to strengthen your immunity and feel energized. In terms of improving your mood, consider virtual communication. Video calls and messages will make you feel better.
