Healthy Eating While in Quarantine

While we are all spending our days at home snacking on anything and everything, you may be more tempted than usual to eat junk food. We are so excited that ‘Nutrition by Mia’ shared some tips in an interview on Fox Charlotte about how we can all stay on top of healthy eating while quarantining inside our homes. 

It’s easy to lose track of what your ‘normal’ is while we are all experiencing self-isolation inside our homes worldwide. Two of the most important things to remember during this time is to make sure you keep moving your body, and that you’re eating right.

Here are some awesome tips from Nutrition by Mia to keep you eating right, and your diet on track.

Nutrition by Mia has shared her healthy meal, snack and dessert ideas which you can easily make at home, on FOX Charlotte.

Here are Mia’s tips on how to stay healthy while indoors at home during quarantine:

“The first tip, build your breakfasts around whatever fruit you have on hand. Blueberries are always a good source of antioxidants, Vitamin C (which supports immune health), and fiber (which helps us feel full). Current research is looking at blueberries and their potential ties to heart, brain and gut health.

For lunch and dinner, build your meals around protein and produce. Canned beans are a convenient source of protein and so are frozen Meatballs served over zucchini noodles.

Choose snacks that contain protein and fiber so you feel fuller for longer i.e. roasted chickpeas, veggies, or hummus.

For desserts, think of healthful benefits. Try making your own chocolate using cacao powder and Cocavo and natural sweeteners. “

We hope that these tips and tricks can help keep you all on track during these weeks of downtime.
