STAY HEALTHY THIS AUTUMN
Embrace the change of season with these autumn health tips.
EAT YOUR AUTUMN COLOURS
Autumn brings a change of readily available fresh produce. Earthy and deep greens and reds as well as vibrant oranges and yellows uniquely benefit the immune system and general well-being as the temperatures slowly drop. Combining coloured veggies with warming garlic, ginger and a touch of chilli or cayenne pepper can enhance their immune-boosting power.
BE PRO-ACTIVE WITH YOUR PROBIOTICS
Dry, windy weather combined with pollen, dust and mould can really set off autumn allergies. Adding probiotics to your diet aids gut health and fires up your immune system, not only helping you fight allergies, but setting you up to successfully combat cold and flu season.
TRY TO KEEP MOVING
Our usually warm autumn weather is conducive to long walks and outdoor exercise. However, as the days get shorter and mornings cooler the motivation to crawl out from under those bed covers tends to disappear. Committing to set classes whether it be yoga, pilates or a pump class or booking a weekly session with a personal trainer can keep you motivated and your health on track.
ALLOW A LITTLE HIBERNATION
After a spring and summer filled with holidays and celebrations, slowing down in autumn can be a welcome reprieve. Shorter days and longer nights provide the perfect opportunity for some self-care, whether it’s a hot bath, a much-needed sleep-in or a quiet weekend wrapped up in a blanket watching Netflix.
