The leaves are changing, the days are shorter, and the air is
beginning to get chilly. It’s almost fall in the North Country and that means
it’s the season for apple picking, corn mazes, and pumpkin patches. Before you
hibernate for the winter, get some fresh air and enjoy one or all of these
activities. Not only are they fun, they are good for your physical and mental
health. Here are 4 reasons to go out this fall.
1. Enjoy
quality time with family. Take a break from technology and enjoy life at a
slower pace. It will help you relax, build bonds and memories, and create
traditions with your loved ones.
2. Physical
activity, especially outdoors, helps give your mood and energy levels a boost.
Being active is associated with a healthier heart and less stress.
3. You’re
likely to go home with some delicious local fruits and vegetables at the end of
the day. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables helps protect against heart
disease and helps keep your family healthy.
4. It helps
build community. Not only will you be out and part of a community event, you
are helping support local farmers.
Go out and enjoy the autumn days, while they last!
