As the leaves change color and temperatures drop, fall brings a bounty of seasonal produce and opportunities for healthy eating. Making nutritious food choices during autumn can boost your immune system and provide comfort during the cooler months.
1. Embrace Seasonal Produce
Pumpkins: Rich in vitamin A and fiber
Apples: High in antioxidants and fiber
Sweet potatoes: Packed with vitamins A and C
Brussels sprouts: Excellent source of vitamin K and vitamin C
2. Incorporate Warming Spices
Add flavor and potential health benefits with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. These can help regulate blood sugar and provide anti-inflammatory properties.
3. Focus on Hearty Soups and Stews
Prepare nutrient-dense soups and stews using seasonal vegetables, lean proteins, and ancient grains like kamut and farro. These meals are comforting, filling, and can be packed with vitamins and minerals.
They can also be very convenient by throwing the ingredients in a crockpot in the morning and letting it cook throughout the day. These recipes usually provide a surplus of food to allow for leftovers or meal prep.
4. Don't Forget About Hydration
Even though it's cooler, staying hydrated is crucial. Opt for warm herbal teas or infused water with fall fruits like apples or pears. Adding fruit can provide minerals and antioxidants to your water which can boost your immune system and allows your body to stay hydrated on a cellular level.
5. Mindful Indulgence
While fall brings many festive treats, practice moderation. Choose healthier versions of fall favorites, like baked apples instead of apple pie, or pumpkin spiced tea instead of sugar packed pumpkin spice lattes.
You can also make healthier versions of your favorite fall treats at home using real, whole food ingredients.
For example, use pure maple syrup or local raw honey instead of white sugar.
