Health experts have often emphasised the importance of exercising to stay healthy and combat the virus. Apart from exercise, a nutritious diet also plays a crucial role.

“Exercising every day also helps in releasing different hormones like endorphins, the happy hormones, that help in lifting the mood and make one feel energetic and enthusiastic. Dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin are also released and they increase focus and attention. Exercise also serves as a distraction from the daily struggles and overthinking that comes with illnesses,” said Utsav Ghosh, fitness trainer and founder, Transformation for Good.

“Fitness always has been important in keeping the memory sharp and increasing focus. It helps in a positive increase in one’s self-esteem and also better sleep and energy,” he added.
