SURGE IN ONLINE ORDERING

In the initial phase of pandemic people were forced to quarantine themselves for more than 6 months. During this period, malls, cinema halls, stores, etc were shut down except hospitals, pharmacies and grocery shops. As soon as the situation came under control, people stared ordering online a lot. People started eating junk and unhealthy food, as a result their diet was affected which resulted in lethargic attitude.

EATING AT IRREGULAR TIME INTERVAL

Due to the pandemic, eating schedule of everyone has been affected immensely. People are sitting in front of the screen for over 8 hours everyday and not doing any exercise at all which results in sleeping late at night which ultimately leads to disturbance in sleep cycle. People then wake up late in the morning, having breakfast late and the delay cycle goes on. Not having proper intake of meal leads to lethargic and less energetic behavior. Our digestion process is disturbed which can cause many problems. Getting sick in a situation like this where people are fighting for their lives doesn't look wise of us.
