As a consequence of the pandemic triggered by the coronavirus COVID19 since its spread in late December 2019 in China, various countries around the world have decided to take strict prevention measures and quarantine to avoid contagion. By the third week of March, more than 100 cases of coronavirus had been detected in Mexico, but the figures are low compared to other countries such as China, which already reached 80,928; Italy with 35,713, and Spain, where there are 17,395 infected. In this way, the Secretary of Public Education of Mexico
informed that classes will be suspended until the end of April, and likewise, various companies nationwide have also instructed their staff to remain in quarantine, practicing social isolation and doing home office (working from home). What is home office? Home office is a relatively new activity and in many cases unknown to Mexican society. It consists of working remotely from home, connecting through the computer and sharing activities digitally, an ideal solution in the face of the COVID19 quarantine. Although working from home can have many advantages such as better organizing the workday, having more free time in the afternoon, and dressing in a much more comfortable way, it also brings some inconveniences, such as the fact that, being immersed in our work activities, anxiety or excessive concentration can make us forget our basic needs like food. It is worth remembering that among the precautions against the coronavirus is also maintaining a balanced diet rich in vitamin C to keep our defenses high, so it is important to consume healthy foods even without leaving home.
