If you prepare your body well for the fall, you should be able to breeze your way through winter!   <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

As for each season,<\/a> it’s all about getting your body and mind back into harmony with nature. At this time of year, there’s a return to the earth : leaves turn red and golden, and drop to the ground, where they’ll soon be transformed into humus. The last fruits are harvested, animals start to grow their winter coats, the days get shorter, temperatures get colder, and we don’t feel like going out quite as much as we used to… But fall is also when we’ve come back from vacation and need to get on top of those endless to-do lists !<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

It’s all too easy to slip into the blues when we move into the fall season, but if you want to stay balanced and positive, the best thing to do \u2013 as usual! \u2013 is to get close to nature and enjoy all that it has to offer.  <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Any good naturopath will tell you that exercise is one of the essential things to do if you want to stay healthy. In fact, it’s even more important than diet \u2013 which is already very important! Every day, make the most of those last rays of sunshine. Go for a walk with your sleeves rolled up so you can stock up on precious Vitamin D and boost those feel-good hormones (serotonin and melatonin).  <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Keep up or start doing cardio, if possible outside, to stimulate your emunctories \u2013 organs or parts of the body that eliminate waste. Try running, cycling, or even brisk walking, two or three times a week. As is so often the case, the most important thing is to do this regularly. There’s no need to try and beat your own record each time !  <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

In Ayurveda, fall is considered a Vata season, governed by the elements air and ether. The characteristics of Vata include cold, dry, moving and irregular, so you want to compensate for these characteristics with their opposites: warmth, moisture and regularity.  <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

It’s also important to rev up your digestive system and take care of your intestinal microbiome. Good gut health is key to a good immune system \u2013 and good immunity is what we all want in these Covid times, isn’t it?  <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

Fall is the perfect season to try a mono-diet, such as an apple cure, grape cure or kitchari cleanse. Start with one evening or one day a week, and gradually work up to three days in a row. This is excellent for giving your digestive system a break. It’s probably best to do this in mid-October, when the stress of going back to work and school is behind you.      <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

And because Nature knows best, put your trust in nature and eat local AND organic food<\/strong>. That way, you’ll be getting the right nutrients at the right time, while protecting the environment (no long journeys involved), your health (no pesticides) and the economy (supporting farmers).  <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n
