3 EASY WAYS BY AMY MOTTERAM
HAVE A HEALTHY FALL
For many, fall marks the beginning of cooler temperatures, colorful
trees and hectic schedules. With the start of a new school year, the
excitement of after-school activities and trying to squeeze in family time,
it can be hard to keep health a priority. So in the midst of a full fall schedule, here
are three easy ways to stay healthy all season long.
1
FLU VACCINE. The flu can be a serious condition, one that may even require
hospitalization. In the U.S., flu season runs from October to May every year. By
getting a vaccine in the fall, you'll be prepared for peak flu season in January. When
you get the flu vaccine, your body will work to develop antibodies over a two-week period,
and then those antibodies help protect you against infection. Getting vaccinated every year
helps your body's immune system develop the best defense possible.

YEARLY PHYSICAL. Having a routine, yearly checkup from your primary care
provider is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health.
During your visit, you'll receive a comprehensive exam that includes a full blood
panel and measurement of your vitals. This one-on-one time with your provider offers a
great opportunity to have any health questions answered, to discuss important preventive
screenings and to become actively involved in your health journey.
3
EAT SEASONALLY. When you think of yummy foods, produce from summer
gardens may be the first thing that comes to mind. However, fall offers an abundance
of delicious fruits and veggies packed with incredible nutrients. Sweet potatoes are a
great source of iron, for instance, and they provide anti-inflammatory benefits. Apples and
pomegranates, other fall favorites, are both excellent sources of antioxidants. ■
