Thursday is the first full day of autumn, meaning the leaves and temperatures are beginning to drop. But what does it all mean for your health? The fall season is actually full of hidden benefits if you know where to look. 1. Get outside – This may seem obvious, but the cooler temperatures mean outdoor workouts will be more pleasant. And researchers suggest getting outside can help with concentration. 2. Fall foods – Take full advantage of the foods available in the fall. Pears are at their peak, along with spaghetti squash, kale, sweet potatoes, and cranberries. 3. Take care of allergies – If you're worries about fall allergies, a few simple steps can help. Buy HEPA air filters and use a saline nasal spray. It's also a good idea to wait until around 4 p.m. to hang out outside because that's when the pollen counts start to decrease. One of the more pleasurable aspects of autumn is the changing colors.
