To contain the spread of CoV-19 / SARS-CoV-2 infection, several governments have imposed collective quarantine on the population. All of these restrictions have influenced women's health and induced an unhealthy lifestyle that, in some cases, could persist after the lockdown. The present commentary briefly analyzes the effects of quarantine on women's lifestyle. Quarantine is associated with stress and depression, which lead to unhealthy nutrition and reduced physical activity, particularly in women. Unhealthy diet is usually poor in fruit and vegetables, with a consequent low intake of antioxidants and vitamins. However, vitamins have recently been identified as a weapon in the fight against the Covid-19. Some reports suggest that Vitamin D could exert a protective effect on such infection. In addition, women are less likely to engage in regular physical activity and have increased sitting time and sedentary behaviors during quarantine, which have led to weight gain. During quarantine strategies to increase home-based physical activity and to encourage adherence to a healthy diet have been implemented. Following quarantine, a global action supporting healthy Diet and physical activity is mandatory to encourage women to return to a good lifestyle routine.
为了控制 CoV-19 / SARS-CoV-2 感染的传播，一些政府对民众实施了集体隔离。所有这些限制都影响了妇女的健康，并导致了不健康的生活方式，在某些情况下，这种生活方式在封锁后仍会持续。本评论简要分析了隔离对妇女生活方式的影响。隔离与压力和抑郁有关，这导致不健康的营养和减少体力活动，尤其是在妇女中。不健康的饮食通常缺乏水果和蔬菜，因此抗氧化剂和维生素的摄入量较低。然而，维生素最近被确定为对抗 Covid-19 的一种武器。一些报告表明，维生素 D 可能对这种感染有保护作用。此外，妇女在隔离期间不太可能经常进行体育锻炼，而且坐着的时间和久坐行为增加，导致体重增加。在隔离期间，已经实施了增加家庭体育活动和鼓励遵守健康饮食的策略。隔离后，必须采取全球行动支持健康饮食和体育活动，鼓励妇女恢复良好的生活方式。
