Staying healthy throughout the fall and winter isn’t just good for you—if we all work together to avoid illness, we can protect our roommates, fellow residents, family, and friends.
Dietician Timi Gustafson, R.D. offered some practical health advice for the fall in the Bothell-Kenmore Reporter last week, including not neglecting your physical fitness and taking advantage of healthy seasonal food:
As far as your physical fitness is concerned, you should build on the foundation you have laid over the summer – or undo the damage if your leisurely activities have led you in the other direction. Running, bicycling or swimming outdoors may no longer be possible, but there is the treadmill, the stationary bike or an indoor pool nearby. Don’t let lame excuses creep in and keep a regular exercise program as best as you can.
Your grocery list may or may not be as much affected, since today’s supermarkets stock most food items all year round, including those not in season in your region. But you can also focus on fruits and vegetables that are harvested late.
Fall is also a good time to make heartier meals like soups and stews that give you a cozy feeling when rain and wind bluster outside.
