1. Cristina Greeven Cuomo Has Been Sharing Healthy Cooking & Exercise Ideas On the ‘Purist’ Amid the Coronavirus Outbreak
Cristina Greeven Cuomo operates her business from home, her husband shared with the New York Times during a January 2018 profile. Greeven is the founder and editor of Purist, which made its debut in 2017. The magazine has both print and online editions. The focus of the magazine is on physical and emotional wellness.
Greeven wrote in the “About” section of the website that she “became a student of nutrition and the mysteries of medicine” after becoming a mother. “Wellness is no longer an indulgence, it’s a necessity. The time is right for a good cleanse. I’m not just talking about a juice cleanse, I’m talking about mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and yes, physically too. Our entire environment has become so toxic–from politics to pollution–people are looking for inspiration in their good health and good lives. It’s time to arm oneself against the cacophony coming from disparate places.”
As families stay inside amid the coronavirus outbreak, Greeven has been using her site to share tips on eating healthy and working out at home. One section of the site is titled “Quarantine Cuisine.” The first recipe was a veggie taco dish that she shared alongside Chef Adam Kenworthy.
On March 27, Greeven wrote on Instagram about the importance of maintaining a workout regimen and how it impacts mental health as well. She wrote in part, “Stay Fit At Home: Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system. And when your heart and lung health are strong ? , you have more energy to handle the host of chores that comes with this new normal at home. Last week, I was struggling to make time for movement as I slumped at my desk all day re-focusing my wellness business. So, this week, I forced myself to commit to an early morning daily practice to keep serotonin and endorphins (feel good hormones) balancing out cortisol (stress) which are heightened at any sign of a creeping virus.”
