Summer is now almost over and autumn is approaching. Do you want to start the fall healthy? Then definitely try these 5 handy tips.
1. More vitamins
Many people get a bit snotty and/or tired as soon as autumn starts. The weather is changing and the cold can reduce your resistance a bit. This makes you more susceptible to viruses. It is therefore smart to get some extra vitamins from the start of autumn. This is largely achieved by eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. You can also opt for a vitamin C supplement. The advantage of this supplement is that you do not take too much of it quickly. You simply pee out the part that your body cannot absorb.
2. To bed earlier
Once the days get shorter and it gets dark earlier outside, nature tries to tell you that it’s smart to go to bed earlier. Your body needs this. If you go to bed earlier, you will also make healthier choices during the day and you will feel better physically and mentally.
3. More vegetables
Try adding more vegetables to your meals. Do not panic. You don’t have to drastically change your lifestyle, but try to get some extra vegetables here and there. For example, think of some snack tomatoes or carrots at lunch or an omelette with spinach or another vegetable that you like. You can also make a filling vegetable soup that you can enjoy for several days. It can also help to buy a cookbook that seems interesting to you to get motivated to try other recipes.

If you feel happy, you will be able to deal with stress and pain better.
