Role of balanced diet during COVID-19
Good nutrition is also important during a Covid-19 pandemic. Although many restrictions have now been lifted, measures to prevent infections affect food and nutrition in many ways. Teleworkers must arrange meals during the working day on their own when workplace food is not available. Those in quarantine and at-risk groups also still need safe ways to shop for food. Layoffs and financial worries can affect opportunities to make healthy choices.
The positive social impact of eating may shrink, new skills need to be learned, eating habits will change and, in addition, the use of home-based shopping and food services, for example, may be on the wallet. The challenge is that in some people, the meal rhythm is disrupted, the quality of the diet deteriorates and nutritional problems increase. The decline in food security is reflected in extended queues in food aid operations and the need for food aid has increased.
Take Control of Your Health and LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE...
Preliminary results from the THL study suggest that the Covid-19 pandemic has already increased the number of meals and the use of snack products (chocolate, sweets, soft drinks, chips, etc.). A diet low in protective nutrients (vitamins, minerals and protein) and high in energy, high fat, salt and sugar weakens the immune system and increases the risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, among other things. Obesity and underlying diseases have been found to increase susceptibility to a severe form of Covid-19 disease. According to data collected from hospitals by the National Intensive Care Coordination Office, the majority of intensive care patients have been overweight or obese and the proportion has been clearly higher than the population average.Good nutrition and the prevention of malnutrition play a role in the prevention, treatment and recovery of Covid-19 disease.
A varied, balanced diet with adequate protective nutrients maintains and promotes health, alertness and functioning during the Covid-19 pandemic. A varied diet secures the immune system and resistance. A health-promoting diet is a whole and a single dietary supplement cannot replace the benefits of a varied diet. For example, vegetables, fruits and berries contain numerous biologically active substances that also affect resistance. So you should take care of a varied diet.
