Activities to Help You Stay Healthy This Fall

By Kathryn Jimenez 3 years ago

Evenings are getting longer, leaves are starting to fall, and you can most likely as of now smell pumpkin flavor noticeable all around.

With the changing of the seasons, perhaps it’s an ideal opportunity to check in with your own well-being! Since this is that time of year which usually consists of less activity, more food, and potentially more stress (the holidays), preparing yourself is an excellent way to be ahead of the game. Also, make the most out of it while it is possible. So if I may ask, how do you stay happy and healthy this fall season?

Here are some outdoor activities  you can check out and try:

  1. Go on a nature hike. Bring along a field guide to identify different kinds of trees. Hiking can be tiring but really enjoyable. You get to spend quality time with your loved ones while exploring nature.
  1. Fly a kite. The brisk air this season brings means it is a great time for flying kites. You can buy one or make your own from two long sticks, strong paper, and string. You can go out camping with friends at a nearby kite-flying spot!
  1. Organize a bonfire. Invite your friends for an overnight camping trip. The chill in the air makes fall the perfect time to sit together by the warmth of a blazing fire with a nice warm mug of cocoa or cider while sharing stories.

These are just a few but the most ideal ones considering the pandemic. The season can cause weight gain, the shorter days can cause low mood, and the flu season can cause sickness. So make sure to watch out for your health and don’t beat yourself up. Stay active.

Yes, it can be easy to just sit around all day long, but it’s important to get in some movement throughout and enjoy some outdoor activities while it is possible this fall season.
