Visit local farms or farmers’ markets to stock up on seasonal produce and add some color to your meals. Your taste buds and body will thank you!
2. Get Moving Outdoors: The cooler temperatures are perfect for outdoor activities. Whether it’s hiking the trails at Bedford Reservation or taking a stroll through your neighborhood to admire the foliage, staying active is a great way to boost your mood and enjoy nature’s beauty.
3. Boost Your Immune System: As we head into cold and flu season, make sure to support your immune system. Load up on vitamins, get plenty of sleep, and wash your hands regularly to fend off pesky germs.
4. Stay Hydrated: Don’t forget about hydration! While it might not be as hot, your body still needs water. Herbal teas can be a warm and cozy way to stay hydrated as temperatures drop.
