5 WAYS TO GIVE YOUR HEALTH AN AUTUMN BOOST — As the leaves change colour and fall, autumn invites us to slow down, enjoy nature, and reflect on our health. Here are five simple ways to give your health an autumn boost: 1) Find a family doctor and book your yearly check-up; 2) Make healthy lifestyle changes by exercising at Burman Gym or enjoying the outdoors; 3) Enjoy seasonal foods such as apples, pears, squash, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and dark leafy greens; 4) Get 7–8 hours of sleep each night and maintain a consistent sleep schedule; and 5) Take care of your mental health by staying connected with friends and family, joining a group, or volunteering. “They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest…” — Psalm 107:37 ~ Your Health Ministry Team
