The fall season is upon us and it’s the perfect time to reset and renew. Simple and small modifications to your daily exercise and nutrition routines can make a huge difference—and these three easy tips will help you “fall” back into a good routine.
Sneak in Extra Steps
Fall is a refreshing time of year to get moving, especially as we welcome a break from the summer heat. Engaging in simple cardiovascular exercise weekly is key. It can help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels. If working out regularly is daunting, instead, find simple ways to be active in your daily life. Use a smaller cup for your water, allowing you to get up more often to refill it, take the stairs instead of the elevator or park a bit farther from your destination—all these habits will encourage you to take more steps per day.
Make Healthy Swaps
Looking to eat healthier? The fall season offers an abundance of delicious vegetables and fruits for an easy swap out. Start small by trading out a bag of chips for an apple or fries for sweet potatoes. You are what you eat, and your gut microbiome plays a major role in your health. Ultra-processed diets negatively impact gut health and throw off the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, which can lead to chronic inflammation. Inflammation lessens your ability to function properly at the cellular level and increases your vulnerability to lifestyle diseases.
Focus on Whole Body Health
A fall reset should focus on whole body health and that starts with your cells. Your body is made up of trillions of cells that help keep you functioning and thriving and supporting them is crucial.
Krill oil is an effective supplement for keeping your cells and whole body healthy. What distinguishes krill oil from other marine oils, is that it is a natural multi nutrient. Meaning, that from the source, krill oil already contains several essential and cellular nutrients all in one, including omega-3s, phospholipids, choline and astaxanthin. The body’s cells need to get these nutrients from the diet on a consistent basis.
In krill oil, the omega-3s are bound to phospholipids, making them more easily absorbed by the body. This means you get more of the beneficial omega-3s in a form that your body can use efficiently.
Let these three tips be an easy and effective way for falling back into a healthy routine this season and beyond.
