Don't Let Your Health Fall with the Mercury

Just because bikini season is almost over, doesn't mean you should let your body and health fall with the mercury.

Why wait until New Years to make a resolution? Any reason to get healthy is a good one and this changing of seasons is as good as any and couldn't have come at a better time— that is, now!


Some tips & ideas to help you plan for the upcoming months..

Eat your veggies: Fall harvest reaps some of the best & heartiest vegetables that are packed with flavor & nutrients like broccoli, brussel sprouts, and winter squash [which is actually harvested in the fall but called such because it lasts throughout the winter].

Be picky: In the orchards, that is. Apple-, pear-, and pumpkin-picking is a great way to spend time outdoors with the family, friends, and even lovers. For the latter, instead of doing the typical dinner-and-a-movie date-night thing, make it outdoorsy-with-dessert [dessert optional, if it's going well, wink]— apple pie, pear crisp, pumpkin parfait.. the warmth of the oven and aroma of cinnamon will surely make it a cozy night to remember..

Watch the pigments change: As the ones in your skin begin to pale, at least enjoy the green ones in leaves doing the same, which reveal the bold reds, yellows, and oranges. Pick up a camera, go for a walk, shoot, and share. Nature makes it easy in helping you find a non-food-related, active hobby that'll transform you into a fit artist without much effort.



Discover a new activity: Bored of the same workout routine? The new season brings with it new active opportunities, like hiking, tennis, soccer, and football. Find a partner or form a group— it'll help you build strong bonds with others and muscles while you're at it.



Look on the bright side [even though it is going to be darker]: Daylight has already begun shortening, but perhaps this'll help you get to bed earlier for a more and much needed shut-eye. Many people don't get enough sleep at night, which leads to crankiness, less productivity, and dark circles under the eyes. Ditch the concealer and hit the sack— like milk, as they say, it does a body good.


Get together with friends: You probably haven't seen some friends in a while as summer is when most go away on vacation. Make time to gather with friends you haven't seen in a while. You'll probably have things to catch up on and you can easily laugh your way to good health.
