What is a heathy diet during the coronavirus disease pandemic?
Between the fact that you hardly leave the house and that you are overwhelmed by being within four walls, you are going to end up gaining weight for sure unless you start to remedy it now
The coronavirus appears to be more serious than previously thought. Spanish health authorities have already begun to take drastic measures to stop the spread of the virus in our country. Since last Saturday, the country is in a state of alarm and most of us are teleworking from our homes without being able to go out on the streets other than what is necessary.
Not being able to move barely and the anxiety that comes from being enclosed within four walls all day - plus the added stress of many of having their entire family at home - can make us gain weight if we don't start taking action now.
Don't let the coronavirus quarantine make you fat: tricks that burn calories
If you are reading this, it is more than likely that you are one of the winners of telecommuting. And so that your 'quarantine' stage at home is as bearable as possible and you do not end up with four extra kilos, added to those that you have not lost yet, we are going to tell you the basic tricks that you should follow in the coming days.
1) do housework
It seems silly, but doing housework burns a lot of calories. Here is a basic guide to the energy you use to do each thing per hour:
- Make the bed: 70 calories.
- Doing the laundry: 148 calories.
- Iron: 157 calories.
- Sweep the house: 161.
- Clean the dust: 166.
- Cleaning the windows: 231.
2) dance a couple of times every day
There is nothing that clears the mind more than blasting music and dancing at home. In addition, it makes us lose weight. For an hour of dancing you can burn between 250 and 400 calories.

3) Stay active while watching movies or series
You can watch TV and burn calories if while doing light exercise. For example, pedaling with a static pedal apparatus; lift weights with your arms or legs; work with an elastic band; squeeze a rubber ball to exercise your hands, etc.
Another exercise you can do is to contract your abs as you slowly inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth until you are almost out of air.
4) walk quickly around the house
If you have a corridor or rooms free of obstacles, you can move. In half an hour walking you can burn 60 to 90 calories.
5) Stand on your toes while brushing your teeth
When you are brushing your teeth, drying your hair, scrubbing ... you can stand on tiptoe to exercise your calves, always with your back straight and your abdomen contracted and keep us that way for a few seconds, with or without support.
6) jump
Jumping is one of the most complete exercises - legs, arms and glutes are toned - and you can do it at home. You can help yourself with a rope, which you can buy at any sporting goods store.
According to an article from Harvard University, jumping rope burns up to 444 calories in just 30 minutes.
7) Talk on the phone standing up
Every time you go to talk on the phone, stand up and, in the meantime, do smooth, controlled movements: bring one leg back to activate your glutes, then forward to exercise your quadriceps; to the side and inward to maintain abductors and adductors ...
8) eat smart
There is a lot of conflicting information about diet and what you should and should not eat. Actually everything is quite easy, and if you think a little you will know what is healthy to eat and what is not.
We suggest that you make smart changes to your diet, that is, eat less carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice ...), more proteins (chicken, fish, vegetables ...) and take four or five meals a day. day as they will keep you satiated for longer.
A perfect ideal lunch or dinner would be a generous helping of vegetables (leafy greens are best) with a serving of lean protein. There is no more: in quarantine you hardly need hydrates.
9) force yourself to get up every half hour
To activate the metabolism and accelerate it, you must get up every half hour, at most, from the sofa or chair. And if you take a few sips of water, all the better, since drinking burns calories and keeps us active and energetic.
10) sleep better and have more sex
All the advice we are giving you is useless if you are stressed, since your body will not lose weight and you will tend to eat more and more caloric pseudo-foods.
The stress and anxiety prevent us rest, and this makes us fat and not lose weight. A study published in Obesity Reviews showed that stress, lack of sleep, and weight gain are associated with each other.
So you should try to relax. And sex can be a good help for this, since it releases pleasure hormones and is related to a lower risk of contagion by coronavirus.
CBD is one of many cannabinoids (compounds) in the cannabis plant. Researchers have been looking at the possible therapeutic uses of CBD. Two of the compounds in marijuana are delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and CBD. These compounds have different effects. Until recently, THC was the best-known compound in cannabis. It is the most active constituent, and it has a psychological effect. It creates a mind-altering “high” when a person smokes it or uses it in cooking. This is because THC breaks down when a person applies heat and introduces it into the body.
