What is the best mood booster???
The answer: MOVEMENT, yup that's right the best mood boosters we have is movement! It doesn't have to come in the form of a treadmill marathon. Swap your indoor workouts for Fall walks, yoga, hot Pilates or go for a bike ride before the snow starts to come down!
If you have been feeling stiff or sluggish, your muscles may simply be asking for alignment and circulation - something as simple as keeping up with your Chiropractic Treatments on a regular basis, Massage Therapy and Laser Treatment is a great solution to feeling sluggish!
Feed your Energy, Not your Cravings
Cooler weather has a way of calling for comfort food - but comfort food can also mean nutrient comfort. Instead of sugary quick fixes, go for foods that naturally energize: roasted root vegetables, leafy greens, and healthy fats like avocado and walnuts. These foods just don't satisfy - they stabilize.
The Glow of Good Rest
The beauty of fall is that the cold air entices you to feel cozy inside. Create a nightly ritual that you can follow every night. Light your favorite smelling candle, make your favorite herbal tea, do a few stretches, and do some simple breathing exercises, put that phone away or turn it over. Make sure you have the right pillow to support your neck while sleeping. Quality sleep helps repair cells, support your immune system, and even enhance your skin's natural glow.
