Wrapping Up Summer, Harvesting Health:
Fitness and Wellness, Boost Your Best Self

As the warm embrace of summer gently fades, we find ourselves surrounded by the golden hues of fields ripe for harvest and the early hints of autumn’s palette beginning to marble the leaves. The corn mazes invite us to wander and reflect, while the aisles of backpacks in stores signal the dawn of a new year brimming with promise. And let's not forget the buzz of football camps and the anticipation of the NFL preseason - Go Green Bay!

As we bid farewell to the summer of 2024, it's the perfect time to turn our attention towards rejuvenating our health, nutrition, and fitness goals. The end of summer marks not just a seasonal transition but also an opportunity for personal renewal.

Health Goals

With the change in seasons, it’s crucial to adapt our health routines to maintain wellness. Consider scheduling those annual check-ups. With school back in session, it’s also a good time to ensure the entire family is up-to-date on health screenings.

Nutrition Reboot

Fall brings a bounty of nutritious, seasonal produce. Think hearty root vegetables, crisp apples, and vibrant squashes. Incorporate these into your meals to boost your diet with essential vitamins and minerals. As the weather cools, consider batch-cooking soups and stews, which can be both nutritious and time-saving for busy weeknights.

Fitness Goals

With cooler temperatures, outdoor activities become even more enjoyable. Whether it’s a brisk walk through a park, a weekend hike, or joining a local sports league, autumn offers many opportunities to stay active. Set realistic fitness goals that align with your lifestyle—maybe it’s running a 5K, trying a new fitness class, or simply committing to a daily walk.

Everyone loves soup. There’s something undeniably comforting about the warmth of soup as it touches your lips and the heartiness as it satisfies your hunger.

From ancient broths simmered over open fires to modern gourmet concoctions, soup has evolved into a versatile dish that transcends cultural boundaries. It has played a crucial role in providing nourishment through times of scarcity and abundance alike

Pro Tip-One

Spend a couple of hours on the weekend preparing meals for the week. Chop vegetables, marinate meats, and cook grains in advance. Store them in portioned containers so you can easily assemble meals during the hectic weekdays. This way, you'll save time and reduce stress, ensuring your family gets nutritious meals without the last-minute scramble.

Pro Tip-Two

Plan your meals for the entire week and write them down. Having a clear menu helps you stay organized and ensures you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. It also reduces the daily decision-making burden, making it easier to stick to healthy eating habits. Post the menu on your fridge or a family bulletin board so everyone knows what's for dinner.

Pro Tip Three

Invest in time-saving kitchen gadgets like a slow cooker, instant pot, or air fryer. These tools can significantly cut down on meal preparation and cooking times. For example, a slow cooker allows you to set up your meal in the morning and come home to a ready-to-eat dinner. An instant pot can cook meals in a fraction of the time, perfect for those busy school nights.

How To Navigate The Food Noice And Still Live The Lifestyle...

In a recent interview with Dr. Oz, Bethenny Frankel opened up about her approach to living a healthy lifestyle and managing what she calls "food noise." Frankel explained that her brand, Skinnygirl, is not just about being thin but represents a carefree, confident attitude towards food and body image.

She emphasized that many women, herself included, struggle with the constant internal chatter around food—whether it’s guilt from eating something "bad" or the pressure to always be on a diet. Her philosophy is about breaking free from the cycle of deprivation and indulgence. Instead, she encourages a balanced mindset where no food is forbidden, and nothing in moderation will cause harm.

 

Frankel highlighted the importance of being kind to yourself, indulging mindfully, and having an honest conversation about food choices. She calls this "food noise," the constant guilt and second-guessing we face. Her advice? Silence that noise by enjoying what you love in moderation, without regret. It’s about living freely, feeling good, and embracing life without beating yourself up.

The Passback Story 

The Passback Football was invented by Mike McGonigle in 1993. While watching a football game on Halloween he noticed a goofy-looking pumpkin staring at him. The pumpkin’s wide smile seemed to be daring Mike to pick it up. Mike proceeded to chuck it at the wall and it came back to him in a slight spiral. When he returned home he began lopping his old nerf balls into flat footballs. These, like the pumpkin, came spiraling back when he tossed them against a wall. Thus, the Passback was born. 

 

  • In the mid-1990s, Hasbro introduced a nerf version of the Passback Football under the name Turbo Blast-Back.

  • The modern Passback looks like a normal football cut in half with a rubber pad on the blunt end. 

  • Now available in composite leather or rubber, the Passback has the same weight, feel, and stitching as a regulation football.

The Power Of The Wild Yam

“When feminine functions are causing considerable discomfort, they can wreak havoc on our well-being, ranging from the mild discomforts of young adulthood to the traumas of maturing womanhood, and various other unpleasant feminine issues that can cause discomfort in between.

 

The key to feminine well-being lies in providing our bodies with the nutritional resources needed to produce the natural compounds required to meet the ever-changing demands of our feminine well-being. Women who achieve this experience speak of it as being euphoric, feeling like a woman again, or achieving a sense of well-being not felt in years."
