Get Your Body Ready For Fall

By Hello Beautiful August 21, 2009 3:00 pm

picture-882

Back-to-fall always feels like the start of something new – something akin to New Year’s without the cold weather or worldwide celebration – and a time to refocus on those health and fitness resolutions. To help you reset your diet and exercise goals for the upcoming season, here’s our handy list of health and fitness tips, from A to Z from sheknows.com:

A is for Apple

Eating an apple a day (or any piece of fruit that matter) will help boost your vitamin C levels and flu- and cold-fighting powers.

B is for Breakfast

Not only will eating this “most important meal of the day” rev your metabolism, it will also give you energy to tackle whatever challenges come your way.

C is for Calcium

Fifty percent of women don’t get their daily dose of calcium. This fall, make an extra effort to get the recommended 1000 to 1500 milligrams of this important bone-building nutrient.

D is for Dieting

And saying “ditch the fad-diets.” Sensibly control what you eat and prioritize daily exercise.

E is for Exercise

Here’s to getting your body moving every day for at least 30 minutes (every one of your muscles will thank you!).

F is for Fiber

Your digestive system depends on fiber for regularity and to stay healthy. Up your intake of this important nutrient by adding whole grains (like 100 percent whole wheat bread and brown rice) to your diet.

G is for Garlic

Research shows people who regularly eat garlic have lower blood pressure and cholesterol and are at less risk of cancer and stroke compared to people who don’t.

H is for Help

As a go-getter woman, it’s natural to think you can do everything yourself. However, don’t forget to rely on your support system when you need assistance (that’s what it’s there for). This fall, don’t hesitate to ask for help whenever you need it.

    @OVancouverHurts, they were correct in saying get ready for fall…What season you in? Last time I checked fall was after summer and too many african americans are overweight. They should have posted this back in the spring because its going to take a minute for people to get they game face on to get fit. The process is a little difficult but once the results show up…it’s a wonderful feeling.

    FIRST THING THE WOMEN NEED TO DO IS GET THE MIND RIGHT FIRST

    THEN DIETING AND EXERCISING WILL MAKE SENSE

    BUT UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “”THICK”" AND FAT IT JUST A LOST CAUSE
