Your socks aren't working hard enough for you during isolation. Ours do.

 

Social Distancing, Quarantine, and Circulation. 

Cooped up and feeling sluggish, bored, even a bit miserable? Despite being confined indoors during the coronavirus outbreak, there are still lots of things you can do to protect your health and wellbeing.

Although we all have to keep a safe distance from each other now, this doesn’t mean that you can’t go out. In fact, going out in the daylight (even if it’s cloudy) will be beneficial for your mental health. If you have a garden, walking around the garden, performing gentle (or not so gentle, depending on your ability) aerobic exercises, skipping with a rope, stepping up and down on a low step to music, all these are examples of exercise you can perform which will help alleviate anxiety. If you haven’t got a garden, think of a route you can take from your home where you will not have to be in close proximity to others and go for a walk. Every day.

Circulation is motion and when motion stops so those circulations, not just our bodies but also our routines.

What is the difference between quarantine and isolation?

Quarantine

Quarantine is used to keep someone who might have been exposed to COVID-19 away from others. Someone in self-quarantine stays separated from others, and they limit movement outside of their home or current place. A person may have been exposed to the virus without knowing it (for example, when traveling or out in the community), or they could have the virus without feeling symptoms. Quarantine helps limit the further spread of COVID-19.

Isolation

Isolation is used to separate sick people from healthy people. People who are in isolation should stay home. In the home, anyone sick should separate themselves from others by staying in a specific “sick” bedroom or space and using a different bathroom (if possible).

At unsettling times like the one our entire planet is going through; you are not the only one in the battle to feel like things are very much out of your control. 

Most routines have been thrown into disarray. Our team https://steppsgear.com wants you to put your life in circulation even during the Times of Corona.

Eating, it’s time to get creative in the kitchen.

Eating as healthy as possible is important not only for our physical health, but our physiological well being too. A healthy diet has been shown to reduce our risk of chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity, as well as depression and anxiety.

You don't have to follow a particular diet, just avoid processed foods as they tend to be high in sugar. 

Sleeping soundly

Sleep is essential for our bodies to repair cells, clear toxins, consolidate our memories, and process information. There's good evidence that sleep deprivation can have major impacts on our health — negatively affecting our psychological well-being concentration and even our emotional intelligence.

It can also increase our risk of developing chronic health conditions, like diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.

Exercising enough

Exercise releases chemicals in the body that makes us feel good and it's also been linked to better sleep, reduced stress and anxiety, and improved memory and cognition.

Team sports may be off the agenda, but you can certainly still exercise on your own, moderate movement for 30 minutes per day. There are many ways to stimulate your body's circulation. He suggests "walking up and down the stairs in your home, or in your building, for example. Or, you could jog in place inside, or do some shadow boxing, or jumping jacks, or sit-ups, or push-ups."
