Vitamins
If you do not take vitamins, now is the time to do so! Vitamins benefits our body in so many ways.
1. Vitamin A: Helps your vision, immune, and reproductive systems. It also helps the bones stronger and muscle growth in children. This vitamin also aids in maintaining a healthy reproductive system.
2. Vitamin B: Benefits making sure the body's cells are functioning properly. It helps the body convert food into energy, which is metabolism. It also creates new blood cells and maintain healthy skin cells, brain cells, and other body tissues.
Give your mind and body a break by trying these six ways to stay calm. Do something new to feel your anxiety take a backseat so you can still enjoy life and make smart choices at the same time.
1. Stay at Home
You might feel like you should get out and help people in your community, which is a good thing to do. However, contagious diseases spread faster when people travel and hang out in crowded areas. The best thing you can do is stay safe at home and keep calm in your living space. Relax on your couch, take a nap or practice yoga on your porch. The longer you’re at home, the less you’ll help the disease potentially spread in your community.
