Throughout the pandemic, you might feel a bit like a captive. After all, when the pandemic erupted, our lifestyles were completely altered, and now there is a war waging against a strange, invisible enemy. Sorting out how to stay happy and healthy can be an overwhelming task, so MedBiz Pro presents the following guide filled with helpful resources.

 

Germ Killing

Killing off a germ that’s so tiny you can’t see it can feel impossible. However, that’s a major key to avoiding this illness.

  • As Mayo Clinic explains, frequent and thorough hand washing is a must.
  • Keep your living environment disinfected regularly, catching every nook and cranny.
  • Set up a decontamination station in your home, especially if you are at higher risk.

 

Maintain Wellness

Your mind and body need to stay strong to avoid getting sick. That can feel pretty challenging if you’re stuck in an apartment all the time, especially with the stress of so much change. Thankfully, you can stay happy and healthy with a few key components of self-care.

  • Feed your body’s immune system with nutritious foods.
  • Add a spot for healthful meditation.
  • Vitamin D can help ward off illnesses, so snag some sunshine or take a supplement.
  • Make sure you set aside time to prep and cook healthy meals for yourself.

 

Minimize Risks

At times we must go out, whether it’s to enjoy some sunshine or to run errands. Coming into contact with others can increase your risk, so ensure you stay safe with these practices.

  • Six feet is felt to be the minimum social distance to maintain when you are in public or in a common area.
  • Masks are believed to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but they can be hard to come by. However, you can make your own.
  • If you need something repaired, as Apartment Guide explains, you are still entitled to a fully functional apartment, and your requests can be completed in a safe manner.
  • Those sharing laundry areas should be cognizant of how they interact with the surfaces and objects in those spaces.

 

If you feel like a captive in your apartment, keep in mind that even though this is ongoing, it’s not forever, and there are ways to stay safe. Kill germs with effective strategies, keep your body in optimal health, and minimize your risks. This is a challenge you won’t soon forget, but with the right strategies, you can pull through with your health intact.
