Leaves and fire crackling, seasonal fruits are ready to be gathered and harvested, the cold wind breeze and the scent of cinnamon is in the air. Yup, AUTUMN IS DEFINITELY HERE! 🍁

In light of the Fall Season, here are 5 simple SOIP ways to stay healthy USING YOUR 5 SENSES:

Sense of Sight 👀 - Look away from your devices and let your eyes rest. Soak in the rays of the sun and take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature.

Sense of Taste 👅 - Eat seasonal foods to boost your immunity. Cherish natural Fall bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables such as squash, apples, peaches, grapefruit, and many more!

Sense of Touch 🙌 - Protect your neck with a scarf or turtleneck to keep that important area of your body warm during high-flu season.

Sense of Smell 👃- Add a dash of cinnamon or ginger to your tea or coffee to tantalize your smell and increase your metabolism--it’s also anti-inflammatory!

Sense of Sound 👂- Listen to ASMR to promote relaxation and relieve stress. This autumn season, many ASMR artists are creating content with crackling fire and crunching of leaves. Give it a try and enjoy!

More screen time on your phone, laptop, or other technological devices can make it harder to fall asleep at night, as well as make you feel less refreshed when you wake up in the morning. Being mindful of our screen time and minimizing it at least an hour before bedtime is a practice that not only benefits adults but also incredibly important for the long-term health of young adolescents.

Dr. Naina Limbekar:

"When you eat fiber-rich foods, it produces chemical reactions in your gut that create a stronger barrier and allow the right good bacteria fighting the bad bacteria. That’s the importance of fiber-rich food. Some people may not even know that we don’t actually digest the fiber. It’s digested by our bacteria and it’s mainly for gut health--that’s also a key component of food like broccoli, greens, and all those really fiber-rich food are gonna help gut health."
