15 Items To Help Keep You Healthy And/Or Comfortable
Millions of people — if not billions of people — around the world are still socially-distanced more of the day than not, beyond working from home regularly. For those moments when you and/or yours are outside your home, it is key to feel happy, healthy and safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is a measure proposed by health experts to help curb the spread of the coronavirus. Inasmuch as it’s proven to be effective in fulfilling that objective, the precaution is also not short of side effects. The idea of working from home, for instance, means that many people can go the whole day without making any physical contact with another person other than their families.
It might not seem like a big deal but staying in such an environment for a long time has repercussions on your physical and mental health. As such, it’s key to keep yourself fit and happy as much as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Remember, even the clothes you wear at home or during your workouts may also have an impact on the grand scheme of things. Putting on quality products from reputable brands like Bamboo Underwear can go a long way in making you comfortable and relaxed.
In turn, as exclusive to the website of The Hype Magazine, below are 15 items you can currently order through online retailers to help keep you happy, healthy and/or safe in a variety of ways.

It is no secret that sugar is public enemy #1 when it comes to being healthy. Excess sugar may inflame the walls of your arteries that can make them thicker. This causes stress to your heat, which can easily lead to chronic heart conditions. But the problem is two-fold — many of those offerings taste unpleasant and are loaded with questionable ingredients that turn joyful moments into regret. Project 7 is there to offer a balance between making healthier choices while still enjoying the fun things in life, like candy. Through time-tested favorites like gummy bears, lollipops, and more, Project 7 gives you the mouth-watering, whimsical treats you crave with considerably less sugar and the cleanest plant-based ingredients. Arguably good enough to eat 7 days a week!
You should keep up your hygiene by washing your hands properly and protecting yourself.

For those of you family-centric readers of The Hype, Lolleez organic throat soothing pops are an effective, fun and delicious way to help children feel better. Lolleez initially came in 4 yummy flavors, because we know kids like options, and those are Watermelon, Strawberry, Orange Mango, and Mixed Berry. This led to the growth of the Momeez Choice brand, with additional USDA Organic-certified offerings, of the “Tumeez” (tummy soothing) varieties. The latest and greatest from this Connecticut-based company is the Immuniteez line, which launches this fall. Immuniteez helps kids heal long-term with a fun mix of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and Elderberry flavor. Like the aforementioned Lolleez and Tumeez products, Immuniteez are non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free.
