To our health

We asked students if social distancing and staying at home has made them more conscious of their health, hygiene, diet and exercise routine

The quarantine has definitely made me think more about my exercise and diet because I am not getting out of the house nearly as much as I would like to so I have been trying to exercise daily. I also swim a lot in my pool. I have been trying to snack less but that isn’t really working out but I’m going to start fresh on a new regimen this week and try to do better. As far as health goes, my skin and hair is definitely healthier because I have been using organic and healing oils that I wouldn’t regularly use because leaving the house with them on is brutal for my appearance but I can already see a difference in the health of my skin and hair. Although, my nails look really rough but I guess everyone elses does, too.

It has made me more conscious about my health and especially my exercise. When everything was open, I danced multiple days and hours a week, so it didn’t really matter what I ate because I would burn it off that day at dance. While in quarantine, I still have the same eating habits, ie. snacking and junk food, but I’m not burning it off as fast. This LITERALLY ensures that I’m gonna get fat, so I’m making sure to cut down on snacking and midnight snacks, start having certain times to exercise in the morning, and find classes to dance along with in the evening. The dieting is mostly just because I ate all of my junk food and I’m not allowed to buy more. Now I’m stuck with eating all the healthy snacks, which isn’t half bad! The real challenge is not eating a bunch of sweets that I bake or find around the house. I even have a baking Instagram account @quarantine_bakes01.

“I cannot ever sit still and I love to exercise and well I have nothing to do that caused me to be outside more than usual sometimes. I just do random things with my sisters or dogs most of the time outside. So yes, it does give me more free time/outside time that I need! I usually try to have healthy meals but everyone and then you need a cheat meal every once in awhile. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack like ice cream… I actually personally eat a little bowl of ice cream every night before bed. I would say my hygiene has not changed, I used to be a germaphobe so I am still a clean freak right now.
