Hi, I’m Lauren, a member of 1st Birstall Rangers!
I’d like to discuss and suggest some ways in which to keep healthy during
quarantine, especially in ways such as keeping and maintaining healthy eating
habits. At the moment, the media discusses the issues of binge eating from
boredom in order to actually do something.
There are lots of suggestions about establishing a routine and that
should include our eating habits to include set routines and times, along with
correctly proportioned meals. This
should help to avoid binge eating.
It’s important to ensure that you’re maintaining a healthy
diet, especially to aid your immune system which is essential during these
times. Moreover, a healthy diet goes hand-in-hand
with a good bit of exercise.
The advice from the Government is to only leave the house
for exercise, limited essential shopping and work, if you cannot work from
home. If you limit the amount of times
you shop to just once a week that will help with meal planning and avoid deviation
from your best intentions!
So, what should you be eating during quarantine? Simply
ensure that you’re eating well-balanced meals, such as varied vegetables and
protein. Since we have more time on our hands, we have more time to engage in
cooking our meals rather than buying ready meals laden with sugar, salt and
fat. You can use this time to prepare and freeze meals such as spaghetti
bolognaise, or practice making a new recipe. Websites and cooking shows are a
great place to find ideas!
Don’t forget, we eat with our eyes! To uplift your mood it’s
a great idea to have a plate full of colour!
I’ve sourced some recipes to try out during quarantine-
Pepper and bean chilli- This recipe serves four people and
is simple to make. It requires very few ingredients and is also suitable for
vegetarians!
Smoky bacon and tomato spaghetti- It takes 20 minutes to
cook and uses a small number of simple ingredients
Easy Oven frittata- This contains a good mix of fresh and
store cupboard items which could be
served with a salad.
Porridge with blueberry compote- This contains a few
ingredients, all of which will provide a great slow energy release.
Chocolate and berry mousse pots- This dessert uses lots of
fruit as well as chocolate. The ingredients are relatively simple and the
recipe is also easy to make.
Thank you for reading blog, stay safe and healthy!
Lauren :)
