Consumers in the Middle East are driving all three of these habits more than the global average, especially with regards to home-cooked meals: 71% of Saudi consumers and 77% of UAE consumers, respectively, are cooking at home more now than they did pre-COVID-19. Of course, the habit of home cooking had naturally been boosted due to the closure of restaurants and fast food options during the lockdown but is nonetheless seen as a popular way of transforming eating behavior.<\/p><\/br>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating leaner meat and trying to adopt healthier sleeping habits are deemed the least important of the <a href=\"https:\/\/borderlessaccess.com\/blog\/making-healthy-habits-stick-after-covid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">potential healthy habits<\/a>, at a global level, with the Middle East market also following suit in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/borderlessaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/middle-east-healthy-habits-1024x345.webp\" alt=\"Middle East Healthy Habits\" class=\"wp-image-3107\" title=\"Middle East Healthy Habits\" srcset=\"https:\/\/borderlessaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/middle-east-healthy-habits-1024x345.webp 1024w, https:\/\/borderlessaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/middle-east-healthy-habits-300x101.webp 300w, https:\/\/borderlessaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/middle-east-healthy-habits-768x259.webp 768w, https:\/\/borderlessaccess.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/middle-east-healthy-habits.webp 1426w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-consumers-expect-to-keep-up-exercise-levels-achieved-during-lockdown\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consumers_expect_to_keep_up_exercise_levels_achieved_during_lockdown\"><\/span><strong>Consumers expect to keep up exercise levels achieved during lockdown<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Half of the consumers globally started exercising more as a measure to keep healthy during the pandemic. As we have seen, creative and innovative ways of exercise during lockdown have changed the face of fitness for consumers worldwide. Now that lockdown is easing in many countries, consumers have largely retained the awareness of fitness that they acquired during this period.<\/p><\/br>\n\n\n\n<p>A third of consumers are focusing more on mental health exercises (the likes of meditation, breathing, etc) than they did before the pandemic, indicating that in some ways, the global chaos has had some positive effects on society. This trend is strongly driven by UAE consumers in particular.<\/p><\/br>\n\n\n\n<p>Adopting a more holistic approach to healthy lifestyles and wellbeing has been a positive spin-off of the pandemic and its effects.
