Project Research Reflection

(In collaboration with Amir Abel Haleem)

Living a healthy lifestyle with a healthy daily routine is something we always take into our consideration and act upon. In my opinion every person should take care of themselves by maintaining a fitness routine, a healthy diet and good sleeping cycle; not just to stay fit, but also to build a healthy body with a good immune system and try to avoid getting sick a lot.

During the covid-19 situation a lot of articles and a lot of people are trying to focus on this part of life in order to maintain a good immune system that could fight such viruses. What I think are the most beneficial things in the three articles below 1) a trusted source, 2) the fact that theses articles gives you tips but they don’t just leave you there, the articles also show you how to do them and makes things easier on you for example: for the physical activities, there are tips and then there are examples, pictures and videos of activities and for the nutrition part they have some easy to find ingredients and easy recipes. Lastly, the articles reflect on the habits that people acquired as a reaction to the virus and the quarantine like panic-buying and how to avoid them and what you really need to buy stock from and the things that can be stocked.

But there is also the negative side to theses articles; the fact that these kind of articles are redundant and cliché, most of them also don’t take into consideration the mental health and the psychological state of people for the current situation; Most of the articles and the social media are focused on home work-outs and home-recipes to keep your good shape and “summer body”, which is okay because they help maintain a good physical health but we are forgetting the mental health of people. People need to read and hear something that relates to their psychological state and help them overcome it first, only then it will reflect directly not only on the fitness aspect but all other aspects of their lives.
