The lockdown is good for the heart.
In the UK there’s been a reduction of hospital admissions for cardiovascular problems, and not because of fear of coronavirus contagion. If someone has serious heart trouble, he is unlikely not to report it and to bypass hospital referral.
Staying at home, not worrying about going to work the next day, sleeping well are relaxing and therefore beneficial for cardiac activity.
It has a similar effect as having a holiday.
People working from home are more likely to take breaks and not sit for long hours without interruption.
In addition, more people, if for no other reason than just to have an excuse to go out, are taking more regular exercise, walking and cycling, and entire families do it together.
