3 Wellness Hacks for Fall
Small, thoughtful choices can make a big difference in how you feel. Try these three simple wellness hacks from our holistic nutritionist to bring a little more nourishment and balance to your fall routine.
1. Blood sugar balance: Try adding 2 tsp of vinegar to a meal or a well-diluted drink. Research suggests vinegar can help reduce the post-meal blood sugar response when consumed alongside meals containing carbohydrates. Prefer it in a vinaigrette? Starting your meal with a fibre-rich salad is another simple habit to try!
2. Optimize your sleep: As daylight hours decrease, use this season as a reminder to prioritize your sleep routine. Quality sleep is crucial for hormonal balance, cognitive function, mood and even blood sugar levels! Try my evening mocktail made with 1 scoop of collagen, 400- 600mg of magnesium bisglycinate powder and 4- 8oz of 100% pure tart cherry juice. Dilute with water to desired sweetness. Drink 1.5-2 hours before bed.
3. Eat seasonally: Opt for seasonal local produce whenever possible to ensure your food is fresh and nutrient dense. Eating seasonally also naturally encourages you to rotate the fruits and vegetables you eat. This provides your gut microbes with a wider range of fibres to support a diverse, resilient gut microbiome!
