STAY HOME: Lifestyle, Fashion & Food trends reinstalling during COVID-19

The emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic has severely affected individuals from all walks of life. The rapid spread of the disease in almost all parts of the country has caused enormous health, economic, environmental and social challenges to the entire human population. In the absence of any effective drugs and vaccines for treatment, social distancing and other preventive measures are the only alternatives. Lockdown is one of the options suggested by the WHO to reduce the spread of the virus. The pandemic situation demands a certain way of shaping the society to reduce virus spread and safeguard oneself. We need to readdress the changes that become part of our lives during lockdown - hygiene and health consciousness, work from home (WFM), online learning, digital shopping, internet habits and social changes etc.

To control the spread of this highly contagious disease, most countries around the world imposed quarantine and social isolation. Quarantine and social isolation can be major stressors contributing to widespread changes in population lifestyles. As a result, heightened anxiety, frustration, panic attacks, loss or sudden increase in appetite, insomnia and depression during corona virus lock down have been reported. Recent studies have shown that people with aggressive self-isolation were more susceptible to mental health issues facing trauma triggers and anger. Other factors such as precarious isolation, social disturbances, self-quarantine, brief travel planning and panic over scarce resources and information overload are also likely to adversely affect mental health. As the pace of life has slowed down due to the epidemic, the world's large and diverse population face unique challenges in terms of safe access to nutritious food, money, basic supplies, social care and medicine to support their physical health Does matter. These unprecedented times are certainly difficult and it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle especially among the foregoing health conditions and the elderly.

Awareness & Prevention

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 reported by WHO include fever, dry cough, and fatigue, and according to a survey, more than 70% of participants were aware of these common symptoms. The most effective way to reduce the risk of infection is to wash hands regularly. Hand hygiene plays an important role in the spread of virus to protect oneself and prevent transmission of virus. WHO recommends washing hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Other options include alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Limiting face-to-face interactions is the best way to reduce the spread of COVID-19 infection. Measures such as social distancing, public awareness programs, extension of lockdown and randomized trials are effective ways to control the spread of COVID-19. Wearing a mask when outdoors can protect others from reducing the mask wearer's respiratory secretions, but it cannot filter out very small virus particles that enter through the mask. N-95 mask mask wearer and others are better at protecting the surrounding individuals, which are designed to block 95% of very small particles. Some N-95 masks have a valve that allows the wearer to breathe.

Lifestyle Trends

Corona virus quickly spread throughout the world and has changed our daily lives and the way we interact. As the pace of life has slowed down due to the epidemic, the world's large and diverse population face unique challenges in terms of safe access to nutritious food, money, basic supplies, social care and medicine to support their physical health Does matter. These unprecedented times are certainly difficult and it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle especially among the foregoing health conditions and the elderly. As cities close and people engage in social distancing, our technology has become necessary to connect with others in times of isolation. The effect will be longer: Many countries have begun work on a vaccine, but it will take several months to be widely distributed.

With the general opinion that Covid-19 is going to be with us and we have to learn to live with it, I don't think life will be the same again. People will be afraid to meet each other. Larger ceremonies and functions will have less frequent. The economy will recover slowly. Migrant workers from various states will fear returning to prosperous states. The online education business will flourish. Hotels, Travel agencies, Tourism Sector, Shopping malls and theaters will lose their customers. Unemployment will increase and poverty will increase, resulting in civil unrest in the society. Social discrimination norms will last for years. The best lesson Covid is teaching everyone is that we are living a basic life with essential things like food, clothing and shelter.

The Covid-19 epidemic has reaffirmed the value of personal hygiene and physical disturbances. Through handshaking, kissing, face rubbing or in some other way that now involves physical touch, greeting other people as it may spread the disease appears risky. After the end of the epidemic, the principles of hygiene will continue to be followed. Many started greeting people with folded hands and saying hello. This gesture may continue as a precaution.

Fashion Trends

COVID-19 has affected many industries around the world. One of them is the fashion industry. This epidemic halted all important annual fashion extras visions, including the Met Gala, which are actually responsible for bringing new trends into the world. Comfortable clothes on top of everyone's list. Since the need to dress properly has decreased significantly since the onset of the epidemic, comfort is a priority for all. Sweat, tights and crop top are on top. Great athletes for workouts are now our work outfits, market fashions, and even sleepwear. Plus, people are experimenting with different styles and prints to rock this hybrid-clothing trend at home.Gone are the days when we used to talk about peeling or charcoal face masks. The vanity was handled by security as protective face masks became a necessity.

But, there is a creative growth for these masks. DIY and designer masks of various materials are the latest additions to 2020 fashion accessories filled with quirky patterns, floral embroidery, prints and colors. Since there is no where to go, why should you give your feet pain by wearing strappy heels? In this quarantine season, sliders, crocs and flip-flops have taken center stage and are now favorite footwear. And, they are actually good since they are so relaxing and apt to wear while confined indoors. Plus, there many cool and stylish varieties of these.

Since a mask is necessary, applying lipstick makes no sense. But creatively applying your eye makeup can bring life to your half-hidden face. Interestingly, sales of eye products have also increased recently.

Food Trends

Plant-based eating last year saw an increasing trend, as people were made aware of the many health conditions associated with meat-based diets. The food industry has slowly shown interest and has begun to follow meat and meat substitutes, with the largest food chain having the option to be part of their menu. Due to the outbreak of corona virus in China, people have started thinking about how they consume food. 'Thinking' involves learning more about how their food is sour, made and finally distributed. We saw a transition from industrial animal production to the consumption of more sustainable, animal-welfare forms for agriculture, as well as a decrease in animals raised for food. It also gave a significant push to the 'vegetarian food industry' and brought it to the forefront of health trends.

Many chef-driven, fine dining restaurants that previously focused on providing customers with a dining-in experience will now venture into the delivery business. In the long term this will completely change the landscape of distribution business in the country. Customers have always connected better with brands that have a consistent story and are transparent with them about the team and chefs who work behind the scenes to make their meals.Fulfill a better experience from hygiene and safe, will drive a new wave of doing business in the food delivery sector to packaging and customer-centric ingredients. Even after the restrictions is over, the restaurant may not be allowed to operate at more than 30% capacity, so there will be more and more F&B brands providing 'at home' experiences.
