News Coronavirus News A Word From Us About COVID-19 and Healthy Living By Team Verywell March 20, 2020 Print Verywell Dear Verywell Fit readers, It is a very uncertain time in many of our lives. We get it and are right here with you. We know the developing information about coronavirus (COVID-19) can feel overwhelming, especially as you deal with the new realities of social distancing and accept a new way of practicing a healthy lifestyle. With more time away from work, school, and regular routines, and less time spent bonding in person with extended family and friends, you may also be feeling anxious, restless, or even scared as a result. You’re not alone. Here at Verywell Fit, our mission is always to empower you to reach your diet and fitness goals. This challenging pandemic does not change that. We remain committed to helping you navigate this experience with credible information written and reviewed by health and wellness experts. Below, our editors compiled the most relevant and useful articles that offer practical advice—to hopefully make you feel calmer, not more chaotic. In these articles, written and reviewed by our team of health and wellness experts, you can learn more about smart foods to keep in your pantry, healthy ways to support your immune system, and how to stay active with at-home workouts—many of them are free! In so many ways, this pandemic encourages a back-to-basics approach when it comes to diet and exercise. We will continue to add new articles about coronavirus and caring for yourself and your loved ones as they are shared on our site. In addition, you’ll find more important resources from our other Verywell brands—from answers to the most commonly asked questions about coronavirus to tips for coping from a mental health perspective to creative ways parents can keep their kids entertained at home. As you know, everything is changing so quickly, but we promise to keep sharing positive ways to take care of yourself and your loved ones—physically, emotionally, and mentally—during this time.
