These changes have included a greater  consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes and fish and a lower consumption of pastries, sweets, savory snacks, sugary drinks and beverages with a high alcohol content. Consumption of processed meats, pizza, lamb or rabbit has also been reduced.

Here are some of the main conclusions of the study:

Pre-cooked food has not been the most consumed during confinement. In fact, the percentage of people who cook at home has increased. 62.5% of the study participants already cooked at home on a regular basis, and continued to do so during confinement. But also, 14.1% joined this group and started cooking at home, although before the pandemic they did not do it regularly

The study specifies that people 55 and older say they have significantly reduced more consumption of chicken, pork, beef and processed meats than other younger age groups. The same group reduced their intake compared to their usual consumption of canned fish, biscuits and pastries, chocolate and sugary drinks, which include soft drinks and commercial juices

Changes in diet are different if we look at sex. According to the research, men more than women report consuming less beef during confinement, other meats and canned fish. They also reduce the consumption of cookies, sweets and pastries more, while a higher proportion of women say they consume more of these sweet foods during confinement. The Spanish society of community nutrition (senc) says that the situation arising from the covid-19 pandemic may constitute a moment of reflection that will reverse the trend that in recent decades has taken us away from the Mediterranean diet and healthy eating. In this way we could return to "a food culture based on the products of local agriculture, of proximity, with a gastronomy that was part of the culture of the social and human environment", as the research says. Food is, along with the practice of act

The main changes in diet relate to products such as savory snacks, cookies, pastries and chocolate, as well as fermented and distilled alcoholic beverages. For these foods and drinks, research participants say they have reduced their consumption in this period between 25.8% - the case of industrial pastry - and 44.2% - the percentage in which the intake of distilled alcoholic beverages has been reduced. Sugary drinks were also consumed less, specifically 32.8% less. The consumption of processed meat has also been reduced by 35.5%, lamb or rabbit meat by 32% and pizza by 32.6%.

Foods reported to have increased most frequently include fruit (27%), eggs (25.4%), legumes (22.5%), vegetables (21%) and fish (20%).

The pandemic is changing us. On the one hand, it has forced us to consciously change habits that we had well established, with the brain impact that comes with it. On the other hand, it may have changed our beliefs about the world, altering our approach to reality. Far from alarming, we should be optimistic about these changes: there is nothing impossible for our mind-brain system.
The pandemic is an opportunity to find targets, which should in principle be easy to achieve, and which will soon become means to more complex targets. Thus, almost without realizing it, we will have acquired good habits that will help us grow as human beings. In the same way, experiences can convince us that, over and above opposing ideologies, there are beliefs that should emerge strengthened from this crisis: respect for others and care for the weakest and most defenceless.
