Your Fall Well-being
Fall is the perfect season to take a look at your health and wellness. These tips are aimed at helping you have a healthier fall overall. Best of all, these health tips can be easily implemented into your life starting today!
Food swaps — There's nothing like a savory, rich soup on a crisp fall day so consider opting for a veggie soup filled with fiber-rich vegetables like spinach.
Immunity-boosting foods — As the weather gets colder, it’s important for your immune system to be in tip-top shape. Garlic, ginger, spinach, and almonds are also big winners when it comes to boosting your health and immunity.
Get your flu shot — Get the once-a-year flu vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends getting the vaccine before October’s end.
Rise and shine — As the sun goes down earlier, it can throw off your natural circadian rhythm. Try to maintain a sleep schedule of at least seven hours.
Schedule your annual check-up — Now is the time to set-up your annual physical you’ve been putting off all year. Get bloodwork and all the accompanying tests done in this calendar year to maximize your healthcare benefit.
Enjoy the cooler weather outdoors — Now that the cooler weather is here, there’s no better time to enjoy the outdoors. Take in the beauty of the changing desert, the crisp air, and the sounds of nature. In fact, a walk in nature can boost your mood while also relaxing you.
Have a happy and healthy fall!
