AB The COVID-19 pandemic and its measures resulted in limited outdoor activities, reducedgroup meetings, etc., leading to unhealthy habits. Several studies showed how certain unhealthyhabits can lead to serious consequences for both men and women, as well as affect future offspring.(1) Background: Therefore, we present a community intervention at the preconception stage to avoidfuture risks. The purpose of this intervention is to change lifestyles and beliefs about the health ofmen and women in the preconception period; (2) Methods: For the design of the intervention, abibliographic search was performed both in English and Spanish in the main databases of healthsciences and nursing (Cochrane, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, LILACS, Dialnet), using descrip tors in MeSH health for sciences; (3) Results: We proposed that a variety of lifestyles be analyzed,including aspects such as physical activity, nutrition, etc. In addition, stress management shouldbe emphasized through a relaxation workshop, where three different techniques be proposed toreduce anxiety levels in stressful situations; (4) Conclusions: Due to the limited scientific results ofinterventions carried out in the preconception period simultaneously with men and women, morecommunity interventions that address this topic are needed to assess the impact of these actions on the health of the population.
