WAYS TO MAKE YOUR FAMILY’S FALL HEALTHIER

Fall weather might seem a bit too chilly and cloudy to get to gardening, but that’s not true! Now’s the perfect time to plant hardy vegetables such as kale, broccoli, and cauliflower that can grow strong in cooler temperatures [1]. It’s not just veggies that do well in the colder months, either. In a neat twist of nature, stone fruit trees — such as peaches or cherries — actually need the cold to sprout! [2]

Canning, fermenting, pickling, and preserving fruits and vegetables are skills that have been handed down from generation to generation, and this fall could be a great time to bring them to your family. Imagine all the different ways you can present green beans, okra, berries, and more throughout the holiday seasons! Not only will you get to enjoy the fruits of summer harvests well into the winter, but natural preservation processes alter many foods in ways that help promote healthy digestion when you eat them!

Normally, fall is absolutely jam-packed with outdoor activities. Many cities have recreation leagues for football, soccer, baseball, softball, or other hot and sweaty sports and take full advantage of the cooler weather. There are also community gatherings like local Turkey Trots or costume walks that are low-demand, high-spirited, and great for kids and the young at heart alike! It’s worth checking your parks department and community website to see what’s being offered this year, but if a lot of events are cancelled, you still have options.

For instance, there’s nothing quite like enjoying the cool autumn air with loved ones — especially if you cozy up at home after! Many park systems have well-marked trails, lined with a bedding of multicolored leaves and whistling with the crisp autumn wind. It’s also worth looking at some of our National Parks and what they have to offer. You might be surprised how many of these natural treasures are within just a short drive! [4]

Between all the pumpkin spice lattes and yummy baked treats people make all autumn long, and the increasing time you’ll spend cozy indoors, it might be a little extra challenging to get the right balance of vitamins and minerals you need in your diet — or to cut out all the excess from your food. Let Everyday Care & Nutrition supplements help by bringing you the nutrients you need and blocking the ones you don’t.
