Healthy Living

For most people Autumn is a season that we welcome because of the beauty it brings to our environment and the cool down in the Florida temperatures. However, for some people this can be a time of misery for their health.

When the temperatures start to cool down and we do not keep ourselves protected from the cooler air the liver function will go out of balance and the immune system then begins to get weaker. A few of the symptoms we may experience are cold symptoms, have trouble sleeping, allergies, or loss of appetite. If you have allergies or sleeping disorders they will get worse at this time.

Here are a few tips to help keep yourself healthy this autumn and winter season:

• Dress warm.
• Eat warm/hot meals & drinks.
• Avoid extended periods of time in cold air and wind blowing on you. (This is something we should do all year long)
• Bowel movements should be daily.
• 1am-7am we should be sleeping, this is a regeneration period for our liver and digestive system.
• See the doctor as soon as symptoms arise. Symptoms, including the common cold, ignored become serious health problems down the road.
