2. Eat Autumn Foods – To avoid piling on extra pounds, eat plenty of apples, pumpkins and hearty greens such as Brussels sprouts that are all in season in the fall. Fruits and vegetables with dark, rich colors, such as kale and pomegranate are also this fall’s go-to foods, as they are packed with essential vitamins and nutrients.
3. Rest More – after a change from the summer to fall schedule, with getting kids back to school and the cooler weather, plan time for naps or rest during the day to build your immune system and to maintain a positive attitude. Set your alarm later to take advantage of the darker mornings.
4. Keep in Touch – reconnect with friends that you haven’t seen all summer long as a way to maintain friendships and avoid feeling down from the darker days.
