WHITE PAPER RESEARCH

Stressful times often translate into unhealthy habits to cope.

It started out with a study of habits. To break unhealthy habits, it’s essential to introduce healthier ones, but we often set ourselves to fail by tackling many issues at once. Having a strategy, maintaining that strategy, and starting small are key.

"...intense stress, boredom, and uncertainty of the pandemic’s lockdown and social distancing rules pushed people into a cycle of drinking more, being less active, and eating junk food to cope."
