In a Nutshell
It's officially September! I love this time of year here on the East Coast. The weather gradually cools, the leaves start changing colors, and seasonal treats like apple cider donuts are back in coffee shops, supermarkets, and bakeries. My favorite part is that I get to wear comfy, oversized sweatshirts without sweating again. Hooray.
As lovely as the fall season may be, it's also the time of year when the risk of catching a cold or flu bug goes up. Today, I share a list of friendly reminders to help you stay as healthy as possible as we shift seasons.

Tips to stay on top of your health this fall
During the fall season, you might spend more time indoors and less time being physically active, and those of you with kids may start seeing germs come home from school. You may also notice seasonal allergens floating around the air. All of this makes it more likely you'll experience symptoms associated with allergies, the flu or common cold, and seasonal affective disorder.
Taking care of your health in the fall looks a little different than in the summertime. Here's a list of friendly reminders and steps you can take to protect your well-being.
Reduce your risk of getting sick: Remember to wash your hands frequently, avoid people who are sick, eat a nutritious diet, and try not to touch your face. This can lower your chance of catching a flu or a cold virus.️
Schedule your health checkups: Have you had your annual physical exam yet? Are you up-to-date on your vaccinations? Do you need to see any specialists before the year ends? Now's the time to go or book your next appointment.
Eat more seasonal foods: Eating for the season can taste better *and* offer more nutritional value. Aim to eat more leafy greens, root vegetables, alliums (onions, garlic, scallions), squashes, and potatoes in the fall. (All the more reason to visit your local farmer's market!)
Get enough vitamin D: As daylight decreases, you might stay inside more often — and be at risk of a vitamin D deficiency. If you feel tired, achy, or weak, you may want to check your levels. If you're low, consider taking supplements and/or eating foods high in vitamin D.
Prioritize your mental health: Need help coping with the change in seasons? Consider speaking with a therapist or checking out our Mental Well-being hub for helpful information and resources.
