Staying at home for an extended period of time can be difficult, and healthy eating can be extra challenging due to the more relaxed “weekend atmosphere”.
Good nutrition is crucial for health, particularly in times when the immune system might need to fight back.
Limited access to fresh foods may compromise opportunities to continue eating a healthy and varied diet. It can also potentially lead to increased consumption of highly processed foods, which tend to be high in fats, sugars, and salt. Nonetheless, even with few and limited ingredients, one can continue eating a diet that supports good health. For optimal health, it is also important to remain physically active. To support healthy individuals in staying physically active while at home, here are specific guidelines for periods of quarantine, including tips and some healthy recipes.
Make a plan - take only what you need
It is important to consider your own needs, as well as those of others. Assess what you already have at home and plan your intake. You might feel the need to purchase large amounts of foods, but make sure to consider and utilize what is already in your pantry, as well as foods with shorter shelf life. This way you can avoid food waste and allow others to access the food they need.
Be strategic about the use of ingredients - prioritize fresh products
