List at least 10 ways to maintain health care at home/community. Explain the details of each.

Note Individual activity.

1. Stay active together and get outside.


- Both adults and children should exercise frequently throughout the day, especially now that
many of us spend more time sitting down while working from home or taking online courses.
Being physically active is good for our health, and it may also help your family cope with any stress
or worry that may occur as a result of the change of daily routine.

2. Drink enough water


- Our body needs water to function correctly, so stay hydrated. Our energy levels, cognitive ability,
and overall health are all significantly impacted by water. With everything going on, it can be
difficult to remember to drink enough water.

3. Avoid too much caffeine


- Anything in excess can be harmful, even consuming excessive amounts of coffee, tea, or soda.
Caffeine can raise the blood pressure and heart rate, which could be harmful to the health. Try to
refrain from consuming an additional cup of coffee as we are unsure of how long we will be
isolated; doing so will make it more difficult to remove once things are back to normal.

4. Encourage everyone to eat a well-balanced diet.


- While it may be tempting to eat additional snacks when you work from home, try to stick to a
regular eating pattern of three balanced meals per day. You can certainly give in to a hunger every
now and then, but as I mentioned earlier, you should make decisions that will be sustainable
because we never know when we'll be able to resume our regular habits. However, it's usual for
kids to eat significantly less at meals, so don't be hesitant to give them healthy snacks throughout
the day.

5. Avoid harmful use of alcohol


- Alcohol use has no safe limit. Alcohol consumption can cause a variety of health issues, including
mental and behavioral disorders, alcoholism, serious non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as
liver cirrhosis, some malignancies, and cardiac conditions, as well as injuries sustained in violent
encounters and car accidents.

6. Follow a bedtime routine and get enough sleep


- One of the greatest methods to tell if you're getting enough sleep is to see how you feel in the
morning. Do you feel rested or worn out? To have enough energy and be able to concentrate
during the day, getting enough sleep is essential. Try setting your alarm earlier if you or your
children are having trouble. Your body can fall asleep more quickly when you have a regular
bedtime routine because it anticipates it.

7. Talk about your feelings


- Many people are feeling more anxiety than usual with all of the uncertainty and change. It’s okay
to experience worry, grief, anger, or any variety of emotions. Encourage your kids to talk about
how they’re feeling, and acknowledge that anything they’re feeling is normal and valid.

8. Limit screen time as much as possible


- Knowing what's happening in the world is important, but spending too much time on social
media or watching television can make you feel more stressed and anxious. Incorporating other
activities in short bursts of time in between screen time will help break it up, even though your
children may need to use technology more frequently than usual for distance learning.

9. Practice preventative medicine, like regular handwashing


- One of the best methods to reduce the spread of germs and avoid disease is to always wash your
hands. By following other preventative medicine recommendations, such as cleaning commonly
touched surfaces in your house, you can lower your risk of being sick.

10. Don't Smoke


- NCDs such heart disease, stroke, and lung disease are brought on by cigarette usage.
Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke from smokers also die from tobacco use. It's
not too late to stop smoking if you currently do so. Once you do, your health will improve both
now and in the future. It's excellent that you don't smoke! Don't start smoking and defend your
freedom to breathe air free of cigarette smoke.
