Info Diet
In a update world, news and info go viral so quickly and so easily and this is thanks to the media and social networks.

This viralization can be both positive and negative, since it is good to be informed but not excessively and generally people do not tend to filter the information they consume every day with selective criteria.
This is why in times of pandemic it is important to filter the news and info that can truly add value to us and those that really cause us emotional, physical and mental discomfort.
You can do the information diet on the following platforms:
– Tv and internet news
– Social networks
-Whatsapp or closed groups
All these platforms are a resource to stay informed and what they try is to keep your attention, which causes you to generate anxiety and in the scientific part it causes your serotonin to decrease which generates depression
You can put the following solutions into practice:
– Put your phone in airplane mode in the hours you allocate to rest or be with your family, for example from 9 pm to 12 pm
– Try to find a single resource to stay informed, be quite critical and generate your own filter of the information you want to consume. It would be advisable that you could go to this medium 2 or 3 times a day which is enough.
– The compromise to support in closed WhatsApp groups
Remember, feeding the body well is not enough, feeding the mind well is the complement to live a healthier life physically and mentally.
