Covid-19 has resulted in global suffering. However, lifestyle and food habits of many among us has improved due to various reasons like work from home, lockdowns etc. Which has resulted in providing more time for exercise and less consumption of outside food etc. What's your opinion that this positive change in lifestyle and food habits has improved health status of individual or disease condition especially in disease like DM and HTN, which can be better managed with good lifestyle n food practice along with medications.
It was also observed that many of the cities and rivers became less polluted especially during and just after the lockdown.
@Hermann Gruenwald Sir, I known to many such person who have started to take their health more seriously and strictly avoiding fast and junk food. People's have started to practicing exercise n Yoga as a part of their daily routine.
There is so much of uncertainty about what future holds that in itself is a stress. whatever we are doing to adjust to this new normal are just coping mechanism in action
An interesting correlation but in our country people are now wandering in the streets now like never before. It is as if COVID-19 never came. There is huge rush in the markets and traffic jams are worse than before. Even with the opening of the hotels and restaurants, normalcy has been restored. Even during lockdown times ordering of food from outside continued. So as per my observation not much has changed regarding the dietary habits of the Indian population.
@ Shobhit Kumar - Pandemic COVID-19 resulted in global suffering may also be considered as an indicator for human kind to control unethical desires to overpower nature, environment and disturbing ecosystem, which includes food habits and lifestyle too. Further its time to give a strong thought to strengthen our medical services and adoption of principles of traditional medicines to emphasis more on maintenance of health rather than treatment of disease.
In this process, not eating out, consuming healthy foods at home has positive effects on health, but there are deficiencies in exercise. That's why thromboembolic processes have developed, and that's why I think we are starting to lose patients.
Indeed, due to the pandemic, people's orientation has changed a lot towards foods that strengthen immunity and move away from foods that harm the body’s immunity, in addition to increasing people's awareness of the importance of healthy food and a healthy lifestyle to strengthen the body’s immunity and resistance to diseases.
There have been really some healthy lifestyle habits and adaptive behaviors since the beginning of the pandemic. Coping and adopting healthy habits are key.
