One in four of those surveyed reported spending more time outdoors or eating more healthy foods.

A new US poll has found that as many as 80% of American adults will try to practice self-care more regularly once the Covid-19 pandemic is over.

Many participants reported that their health had suffered as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak, with 47% reporting feeling socially isolated, 30% reporting a lack of energy, 29% reporting that they had difficulty sleeping and 29% reporting that they were exercising less. Moreover, a majority said that they are more focused now than ever on looking after their mental health, and a large majority said that they will be more mindful about practising self-care — which includes following a healthy diet, regular exercise, managing stress and other behaviour changes such as quitting smoking — regularly once the pandemic is over.
