Tips for our Visual Health

Prolonged confinement leads some people to states of anxiety and stress, which in turn leads to excessive intake of foods that are mostly high in calories and low in nutritional value, such as packaged foods , sugary drinks, desserts, chewing gum, among others. This long-term excessive intake can be reflected in the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity.

The deficit of certain minerals and vitamins such as iron, folic acid, calcium, fatty acids or B complex vitamins, may be related to mood disorders, anxiety disorders and sleep disturbances.

Eating foods that provide us with the nutrients and micronutrients that our body needs to keep us physically and emotionally healthy is very important. Here are some ideas for you.

Have a balanced and varied diet

Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, plant and animal proteins, and healthy fats is the best way to get all the essential nutrients for good health and normal immune function.

Isolation can cause less activity, so it's important to pay close attention to portions and keep our energy balance adjusted to meet our needs.
