The Lockdown: An Unmissable Opportunity to Look After Your Health

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

A global pandemic is not the idea of fun for anybody, yet it is crucial to see the silver lining in such a critical situation. If there is one, the benefit that we can all enjoy from this situation is time. Pressing the pause button on our busy, hectic lifestyles and starting to think about our health is something that most professionals never had the chance to do before. And now that there is time, 

Cook more, eat healthy foods

The summer season is approaching, and an endless range of local fresh fruits and veggies are starting to repopulate our supermarkets and shops. Before the pandemic - we have been tempted to go out for dinner every second night to celebrate the warm season. However, with many restaurants and bars closed, you could opt to fill your fridge with fresh foods and try your hand at cooking. New, healthy recipes can help you stay healthy effortlessly while making your dinner table beautiful. Of course, you don’t have to renounce a glass of wine!

Get into training and fitness - even if for the mind

Going to the gym has incredible benefits, yet it might not be a comfortable place for all of us. Luckily, with online training courses, as well as YouTube videos, you can turn your living room into a small, private gym. Resistance bands and weights are beneficial but not essential. Indeed, you can try out a yoga session or meditation practice, which, aside from helping you build muscles and meet your fitness goals, can help you achieve serenity. Indeed, meditation has been seen to have endless benefits on mood, stress levels, and anxiety. The best thing is that you won’t need to be an expert in any of these practices to start seeing the benefits of it. 

Try out a new routine

Trying out the “no-poo” movement to see your hair shine or making home-made face masks with eggs might not be viable when you have to look presentable at work every day. However, during the lockdown, there are fewer chances for you to appear in public. All this makes it the perfect time to try out a new routine and see if it works for you, without having to worry about how you look. Alternatively, this is an extraordinary moment for radical solutions and changes, such as Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology offers.

Love your body and mind

Independently on what makes you happy and fulfilled, this is the time to love your body and mind. You might prefer to focus all your energy on training and get that six-pack to show. Or, you would like to bring to life a passion project. Nothing is stopping you at the moment! Trying out a new skin-care routine or finally getting in touch with the friends you have not spoken to in a while can undoubtedly bring endless benefits in your life. However, it is crucial to reflect on this particular time and understand the importance of taking a minute to love yourself and replenish your energy.
