Tips to keep the weight off and boost your immune system
The pandemic situation we find ourselves in is undoubtedly a new challenge for all of us. Whether voluntarily or out of necessity, the withdrawal we are subjected to at this stage completely changes all our routines.
A new family dynamic emerges, we start working differently, we can no longer go to the gym, our consumption habits change. It's therefore natural that adapting to this new reality translates into :
- an increase in anxiety levels;
- changes in sleep quality;
- increased appetite and more frequent "trips to the fridge" justified by "emotional hunger";
- weight gain is almost inevitable, a situation also justified by physical inactivity.
Scientific research shows that being overweight is associated with reduced immunity through an increased state of inflammation, so controlling weight is not just a matter of appearance, it's also a matter of health prevention
