Exercise
Being in isolation without access to your gym or parks should not mean you should stop exercising. Keeping up regular, daily exercise plays an important role in helping to maintain a healthy immune system. Regular movement increases heart rate and circulation, and can help flush bacteria out of the lungs and airways. Exercise also reduces stress, elevates your mood and helps you sleep better.
Exercise is great for you, and your immune system but you should not overdo it. If you already exercise regularly, you cannot exercise more to increase your immunity. If you are fairly new to exercising, start slowly, and focus on moving every day.
While in isolation, it’s very easy to fall into a ‘funk’ and make poor decisions. It’s important to be good to yourself and develop a routine of sleep, exercise, and good eating to keep your mind and body healthy, and maintain a good immune system.
