Autumn brings a major change in weather, energy and diet, and a bountiful harvest of fresh produce to see us through the season. Fall is the official harvest time for:

End-of-summer fruits and watery vegetables
Harder root vegetables and squashes like pumpkin, butternut and kabocha
Whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds

Health Coach Recommendations
Start to enjoy more cooked foods and fewer raw fruits and vegetables
Include organic protein sources like fish, chicken, grass-fed beef and high omega-3 eggs
Enjoy healthy fats, especially coconut oil, olive oil and avocado
Enjoy more indoor-focused activity and exercise like yoga, gym workouts or at-home video workouts like fitnessblender.com
