By now we are all aware of the fact that being cut off from all social interactions is necessary in order to stay healthy. The fact that Corona virus can seriously harm people with health issues and the elderly, is a very frightening fact. Every time I hear the number of corona virus victims I am deeply sad for all involved.
Helping others to keep their positive attitude helps us too. Checking on our elderly relatives, and neighbors, and reminding ourselves this is not forever.

Nothing is worst than going to bed with a grumbling stomach.

1- It should be only a snack
2- Choose a snack that won’t keep you up.
3- Snack we pick should be light on the stomach and low on fat content.
