“…Being forced to stay indoors due to the COVID-19 pandemic for a long time can eventually lead to stress conditions that can cause a dramatic change in our dietary habits. Stress eating is a real thing as people are anxious about their next paycheck, watching food disappear from shelves at the grocery store and spending days on end at home, making it easy to overeat (Campana et al, 2019;Brooks et al, 2020). People are generally sociable beings, and this period of social isolation could psychologically pressurize them and force some of them to eat more in quantity or frequency as a mechanism to cope with the growing fear and anxiety.…”

“…Stress can cause overeating and weight gain. Being worried about the future, witnessing the rapid evacuation of market shelves, and increased time to stay at home trigger people's eating behaviors (Brooks et al 2020;Campana et al 2019). In a study on dietary habits and lifestyle changes; 48.6% of individuals have gained weight, 75.8% bought food from supermarkets, 26.0% from grocery stores, but also 14.8% purchased food from farmers, organic or local markets, or using Solidal Purchasing Groups.…”

This study aims to examine the effect of social isolation during COVID-19 pandemic on nutrition and exercise behaviors of nursing students. This descriptive study was conducted with nursing students of a university in eastern Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of 1,011 nursing students. The data were collected via e-mail using the Questionnaire of Descriptive Characteristics and the Nutrition Exercise Behavior Scale. Nutrition and exercise behaviors were affected by lockdown. During lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly half of students (46.9%) gained weight, and the majority (56.7%) did not exercise regularly. A statistically significant difference was found between the students' psychological/addictive eating behavior and unhealthy nutrition-exercise behavior subscales mean scores according to change in body weight, most intense emotion, status of currently doing regular exercise (p < .001), gender, frequency of eating and status of doing regular exercise before COVID-19 pandemic (p < .05). It is recommended to prepare informative guidelines and educate individuals about dietary habits, meal schedules, regular exercise, and healthy nutrition.

“…[15], [16]. Moreover, stress and anxiety stemming from financial, health, or social factors causes the body to release the steroid hormone cortisol as an emergency measure, further increasing some individuals' risk of stress-eating, immune dysfunction, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes [17], [18]. To prevent these negative effects during quarantine, overeating should be prevented and a regular physical exercise regimen should be followed.…”

Bioactive Compounds in Health and Disease

The disease COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, disproportionately targets individuals with aging or otherwise dysfunctional immunity. Since nutrition is shown to have a massive effect on the immune system—and other body systems that can both improve protection and ability to fight against the SARS-CoV-2 virus—we conducted a literature review of nutrition recommendations and their antiviral effects in older adult populations. Certain bioactive compounds and functional foods have been shown in the past to improve the body’s immune function and prevent viral infection. We organize our recommendations by food groups, as delineated by the MyPlate nutritional program, to create guidelines for senior citizens, public health experts, nutritionists, caretakers, and nursing homes. We hope this research will assist in improving the age disparity in vulnerability to the disease COVID-19 during the pandemic.Keywords: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, coronavirus, infection, pandemic, deficiency, health, nutrition, immunity, diet, elderly, aging, senior citizens
