1. Measure and Monitor Your Weight
By keeping track of your weight on a daily or weekly basis, you can determine whether you are gaining or losing weight.
2. Eat healthy meals and limit unhealthy foods
Don't forget to eat breakfast and choose a meal that has more protein, fiber, and fewer calories, fat, and sugar. Please visit the following website for more information regarding diet recommendations and weight-control foods: http://obesity-prevention-source.hsph.harvard.edu/obesity-causes/diet-and-weight/
3. Take Multivitamin Supplements
Every day is a good time to take a multivitamin supplement to make sure you get enough nutrients, especially if you don't have a lot of fruits and vegetables at home. Vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, and E, as well as zinc, iron, copper, selenium, and magnesium, are all important micronutrients for your immune system.
However, there is currently no evidence to suggest that including supplements or "miracle mineral supplements" in your diet will help you recover or protect you from the virus. Vitamins taken in large quantities can sometimes be harmful to your health.
4. Limit sugary beverages and stay hydrated by drinking water regularly.
Drinking water to stay healthy is important, but there is no evidence that drinking water frequently (such as every 15 minutes) can help prevent viral infections. Please visit the following EPA website for additional information regarding the coronavirus and drinking water: www.epa.gov/coronavirus/coronavirus-and-drinking-water-and-wastewater.
5. Exercise & Physically Active
At this time, it might be a good idea to do at-home workouts and exercise regularly. However, you can also run or walk your dog outside. Check to see if there are any restrictions or obligatory self-quarantines in your region. Please visit the ACSM website for more information on how to keep physically active at home: Staying physically active during the COVID-19 pandemic can be found at www.acsm.org/read-research/newsroom/news-releases/news-detail/2020/03/16.
6. Reduce the time spent seated and in front of a screen.
Exercise alone will not prevent you from becoming sedentary. If you spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer, you could put yourself at risk for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, even if you exercise regularly. In practice, you might want to think about taking breaks from sitting down, like walking around the office or room a couple of times a day.
7. Get enough good sleep
There is a strong connection between your immune system and the quality and quantity of your sleep. Getting seven to eight hours of sleep each night can help you maintain a healthy immune system. Please visit the CDC website for additional details: www.cdc.gov/sleep/index.html.
8. Reduce Your Consumption of Alcohol and Maintain Your Sobriety
Consuming alcohol does not protect you from the coronavirus infection. Keep in mind that the calories from alcohol can quickly add up. Always limit your consumption of alcohol. Please review the AHA's recommendations:

9. Find ways to manage your emotions
During a pandemic, it's common for people to feel fear, anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty. Find ways to control your emotions. Use the CDC's information about stress and coping to reduce weight gain caused by stress: www.cdc.gov/Covid/2019-ncov/plan/overseeing pressure anxiety.html.
10. Use an app to keep track of your heart rate, sleep, and movement
The COVID-19 infection is more likely to cause problems and make people very ill in people who have serious chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and extreme obesity. They ought to consult with their medical professionals and take their advice.
