Ways to look after your well-being
© 2020 Aathirai Foods. All Rights Reserved
Covid-19 is raging “like a forest
fire” and its impact on physical and
mental health can be overwhelming.
Amid this pandemic millions of
people around the globe are forced
to physically isolate. Social
isolation, fear of contagion, loss of
family members, unemployment, all
these are taking a toll on mental
well being. Learning to cope with
mental challenges like stress and
anxiety is extremely important for
you and your family.
Why is mental health affected during
Covid-19?
Due to this pandemic, many of us are
confined to our homes. It has significantly
limited our activities like contact with
relatives, colleagues, traveling and other
recreational activities. The contact with
the natural world is lost for people living in
cities. This change in everyday routine may
make an impact on an individual’s mental
health.
Health workers
Elderly people
People with underlying
medical conditions
Children
Who all are vulnerable?
People who are homeless
People who have lost jobs
How to manage your physical and
mental health?
Take care of your body and mind to help recharge
your life during difficult times. Here’re some
strategies to follow for your physical and mental
well being.
Regular Exercise
Engage in physical activities like
exercise, dance or yoga. This can boost
up your mind and reduce stress.
Eat healthy
Eat a well-balanced diet possibly
homemade foods. Avoid junk food and
limit caffeine intake, which can
aggravate stress and anxiety.
Boredom can also lead to stress
eating. Here are some immune
boosting drinks, You can also try and
stay healthy and stay home.
Get enough sleep
Follow your regular sleep pattern. Sticking to
the same schedule ensures relaxation and
good health.
Avoid Alcohol, smoking and drugs 
Since Covid-19 affects respiratory
functioning, smoking which makes you
vulnerable to lung disease is a big “no-no”.
Avoid using alcohol and drugs which may
reduce your coping skills.
Reduce screen time
Try to limit electronic device
usage. Turn off your television,
computer or phone for some time
every day.
Engage in creative activities/things
you like
Engage in your hobbies like
cooking, gardening, reading,
listening to music, etc. If you’re
a creative person indulge in your
project which can be quite
refreshing.
Constant exposure to news may
heighten fears about the disease.
Limit social media usage since a
lot of rumors and false
information are being posted.
Follow only reliable sources.
Limit news/social media exposure
Stick to your schedule every day,
by keeping consistent time for
meals, work, exercise and sleep.
Your mind will be more in control
when you maintain a regular
routine.
Follow a regular routine
Focus on positive thoughts
Always maintain a sense of hope
and positivity. Pray often and be
thankful for everything in your
life. Manage and accept the
challenges and try to keep
problems in perspective.
Do something for others
Check on your family and friends
through calls or text. Support
them if they’re quarantined or in
the hospital. Offer help if
required.
Seek out help when needed
Everyone reacts differently to difficult
situations. If it is making you miserable
and is hard to carry out your normal
routine and responsibilities, don’t
hesitate to ask for help.  Contact a mental
health professional and follow his advice.
Continue to practice self-care practices
and be virtually connected to your well-
wishers.
