How To Boost Stamina In Lockdown - Expert Reveals 5 Easy Ways

How To Boost Stamina In Lockdown - Expert Reveals 5 Easy Ways

As we are slowly going out of our homes, starting to go to the office, we find that the stamina to do so is not there. This is the time to rewire ourselves - we just need to take small steps to reach there where we want to be and do so in a systematic manner.





'COVID-19' and 'stay at home' are some of the most known words since the last three months. The ongoing pandemic has made some changes to our lifestyle, thereby, indirectly affecting our daily physical and psychological well-being. We have moved from working from the office to our home desks, from dining at restaurants to just eating at home, from hitting the gym daily to performing daily household works - our lives are rewired and our movements are restricted from outside. While there are many who found a good way to exercise daily and stick to a healthy eating pattern, but for most of us, it was just sitting time, eating all the delicious and decadent homemade treats, which we were missing because of the rush of daily routine life.


Today, as we are slowly getting out of homes, starting to go to the office, we find that the stamina to do so isn't there where it had to be. We get tired easily and feel the need to push mentally and physically to do what we used to do without putting in the extra effort. But fret not! It's time to remind ourselves - we just need to take small little steps to reach back where we want to be and do so in a systematic way.






Now Here Are Some Easy Ways To Boost Your Stamina In Lockdown:


Eat At Proper Timing

It makes a world of difference to our daily system which is likely linked to the solar clock. Set your meal from time to time and stick to them keeping a leeway of 30 minutes up or down. Eating regularly in hours means the energy levels remain strong and don't sway from highs to lows. This will help your body's metabolism settle down; it will balance out the hormones, keeping you energized all day.




Eat Rich Foods in Nutrient

One of the good things that happened during lockdown was that we were eating fresh home-cooked food with mostly fresh ingredients. We learned to make pizzas and burger sandwiches at home but all with fresh and healthy ingredients. Any food that is closest to its natural form, least processed, and seasonal is the best for your body. Nutrient-rich food adds health while processed and cleaned foods add empty calories leaving you without energy and feeling low level. Fermented foods add good bacteria that keep our gut healthy and absorbs nutrients efficiently.




Drink, Drink And Drink A Lot Of Water

We are in the thick of hot summer and need hydration. Even mild dehydration leaves us exhausted situation; therefore, one must take adequate energy fluids, and a full glass of water is the best option. But if just having freshwater is monotonous, you can have fresh lemon water, coconut water, fresh iced tea, mango without sugar, or with the minimum amount of sugar. Sherbet( Juice ) is another amazing drink that you can try. Again while rediscovering this food, I am sure you must have found a lot of traditional summer drinks that need very little work and are super hydrating food. But keep the caffeine to the minimum level.






Use Nuts And Seeds In This Summer

Nuts and seeds are essential in summers too. You can soak them if you believe that they are "Hot" in summers. You can add nuts to your summer drinks. Almond Cooled is full of nutrient drink and you can even have it in summers. We just need to use one ounce of nuts and seeds per day - meaning 15-20 almonds, one walnut, and a teaspoon of some seeds. Nuts add healthy fats, protein, and most importantly, antioxidants, which are used to clean up the free radicals from our system. They are great for boosting our body immunity.




Get Back To Exercise Again

People who have taken this time to do nothing in the exercise space, need to restart. Never mind where you were and when the lockdown happened, you need to start all over again. Don't get back to the high level of exercise immediately start it slowly. And the ones, who have maintained a medium level of exercise, can go on to the next level, but gradually.





These are testing times and though lots are unlocking, minimum social contact is still to be maintained with frequent handwashing and sanitizing. We will reclaim our lives but the good habits that we were forced to bear like having home-cooked food, rediscovering traditional foods, hand, spending time with family, and body hygiene,  and sitting still for a while, shouldn't be forgotten. There is a white silver lining to every cloud and the sun shines after every dark situation.
