The newest thing people are complaining about is putting on the COVID “15”. At first, I thought it was a typo. I asked my wife and she told me that it was a real thing. People are making terrible nutritional choices, and they are blaming the pandemic. I am both disgusted and disappointed.
The lockdown is a challenge for all of us. It is also an opportunity for us to rise above and become better. Instead, people are treating it with the same humor that we use to describe the terrible nutritional decisions we made when we were teenagers. This is a time to clean up our diets. It is time to find out more about eating well and to implement it into our lives. We have more time at home. We need to decide to use this time to learn how to prepare new foods that are good for us and fit our nutritional goals. Take the opportunity to Just Be Better.
OVer the years, I have developed some good habits that I can use to resist the COVID “15”. Here are some basic guidelines that I follow:
Get 7-8 hours a sleep per night
Eat 3 meals with no snacks over an 8-hour window
Eat at least 2-3 servings of fruits and vegetables per meal (half of my plate)
Stay away from processed food, fast food, fried food, microwaved food.
Drink ½ your body weight in water.
There are a lot of other things that one can do to be nutritionally healthy. Do not use the challenges of today as an excuse to add to the challenges of tomorrow. Resist the COVID “15” and use this time to make better decisions
Stay Healthy, Stay Strong.
