5 Safe Outdoor Activities During the Pandemic

The restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic have marked a very different summer in Europe. Thousands of festivals, concerts and all kinds of social events have been canceled, so scheduled vacations and activities have been limited or postponed until further notice.

However, the 'new normal' already allows us to do various activities for fun. Accumulated stress is very harmful to the body, so facing new challenges and challenges will help us free ourselves and rediscover ourselves..

Health institutions have stressed that the Covid-19 virus is spread, mainly, from person to person through respiratory droplets that are released into the air when we speak, cough or sneeze. If we are indoors, the chances of inhaling the drops from an infected person are high. On the other hand, if we are outside, the air is constantly moving, so it disperses the drops.

Here is a list of safe outdoor activities:

Skating and riding a bike. It is one of the most beneficial activities for our cardiovascular system. Like going for a walk and a run, they are very low-risk activities. To avoid being disconnected, we can wear headphones, which will also allow us to send messages to our phone. The sports headphones can be used as handsfree and have more than 10 hours of autonomy. Of course, to reduce risks, we must avoid busy areas.

Have picnics. It is a very entertaining activity that can benefit and strengthen family ties. Buying food from home or buying it to take away from a restaurant guarantees us an excellent day in the company of those we love the most. It will allow us to break the routine of having lunch daily at home.

Meetings with friends. Physical distance between people from different homes is essential to avoid contagion. We must also forget about hugs and shaking hands. As for children, they can enjoy games like frisby in which there is no close physical contact. Consistent use of hand sanitizer is important. Getting together and keeping a safe distance is a great opportunity to be with our loved ones and then return home comforted.

Go fishing. It has innumerable benefits for our health. Going fishing allows us to improve our concentration, reduce stress and connect with nature. In addition, we will feel much better after setting a goal and reaching it. Going on a trip is an adventure.

Outdoor exercise. Exercising outside raises the level of endorphins, known as the 'happiness hormones'. The results are even better if we do it in the company of friends or family. In addition, going outside helps us to better receive vitamin D from the sun, responsible for fixing calcium and phosphorus for healthy bone formation..
