EATING HABITS DURING THE FIRST CONFINEMENT CAUSED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC - LITERATURE REVIEW. Acta Port Nutr [online]. 2021, n.26, pp.86-89.  Epub Jan 15, 2022.

The COVID-19 disease, first identified in China, quickly spread worldwide. In order to reduce the spread of this contagious disease, declared as a world pandemic, some governments decreed home confinement. These confinements changed the eating habits of the population, in their majority for worse, with an increase in the consumption of unhealthy foods. This factor and the decrease of physical activity can conduce to the development of metabolic, cardiovascular and other pathologies. Therefore, it is essential to alert populations in this regard and educate them for better food choices.
