What Are Some Health and Wellness Things That I Could Do This Summer

It’s been a few months into the lockdown season, and some of us have been feeling the detrimental effects of staying indoors for so long. Whether you’re living in a humble dorm or a piece of high-end real estate in Davao City, the negative effects of this pandemic is something that you can palpably feel, like the intense heat of July. In these trying times, it’s important to keep yourself healthy and well, both physically and mentally.

Here are a few tips on how to maintain your health and happiness during the pandemic season. 

Try a new way of preparing your food

“Diet” is such a volatile word, one that implies restriction and giving up on delicious things to eat. However, the things we eat and how frequently we eat them do affect our bodies, no matter how tasty they may be. Instead of saying that you’ll “go on a diet,” why not tell yourself “I’m trying a new way of preparing my food?”

Instead of piling up on meaty dishes and deep-fried meals, why not start eating more fish and vegetables? In fact, you can make a lot of great cuisine by using healthy and all-green ingredients.

A creative hobby

Everyone needs something to occupy their time with, but a lot of things that we do to relax might not be so healthy to conduct in the long run. Sure, watching Netflix and playing mobile games may be engaging and fun, but these activities are sedentary and can negatively impact your health if it's all you ever do in a day.

Consider trying an active hobby, like writing or drawing or playing music. If you’re living in a scenic neighborhood like Eden Ridge Davao, you can even start painting your outdoor environment!  You might not start out skilled, but if you practice, then you’re bound to come up with something amazing.
