WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In an effort to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, Americans' normal routines are being increasingly limited by public officials.
So far, these restrictions have changed the diets and exercise regimes of Americans more for the worse than the better.With gyms and parks closed in many places nationwide and Americans being asked to limit contact with others, just under half (48%) of U.S.
adults say the amount of exercise they are getting is unchanged so far during the COVID-19 crisis, but 38% say they are getting less and 14% more exercise.Americans' diets can be affected by a number of sources, including increased stress or boredom, less access to groceries, and changes to takeout and options to eat out.
