Healthy Activities for the 2022 Fall Season
Fall is officially here, and a new season calls for an abundance of new activities– including pumpkin carving, haunted house visiting, and turkey trotting. But remember, maintaining healthy habits through the season is important. We all know that we should be exercising regularly, eating healthier, and taking care of our mental health. But, we can add a little spice to these activities and tailor our workouts and diet to reflect the fall season.
AFC Urgent Care Toms River encourages individuals of all ages to prioritize their well-being. Participate in some fun and healthy activities in order to maintain healthy bodies and minds during the fall season!
Go bike riding
As we move into the fall months, the temperature begins to cool and the air starts feeling crisp. Take advantage of the autumn air by going on a bike ride with your family! Bike riding is a great healthy activity, which is valuable for your legs, lungs, immune system and mind. You can find many bike paths in your area, or simply travel down to your local cafe or farmers market to pick up some healthy treats.
Play football with the family!
You don’t have to be an athletic pro to start a game of touch football with your family, or even the whole neighborhood! Regardless of your age, gender or levels of fitness, studies show that playing football is a great benefit to your health. You’ll be running, throwing, squatting, and having a blast while doing so.
Injuries can occur, of course, so it’s important to remember safety always comes first. Depending on your comfortability with exercise, take it easy! And as always, AFC Urgent Care Toms River can treat many injuries, as long as they are minor to moderate
Go apple picking
Apple picking during the fall is a great healthy activity and a fun way to motivate the whole family. Exercise doesn’t always mean strenuous trips to the gym or long runs on the track. Sometimes, fitness can be simple and apple picking gets you off the couch and moving your body– plus fresh apples make for a perfect, healthy snack.
Apples are full of antioxidants and fiber, and they are linked to a lower risk of many chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. However, an apple a day doesn’t always keep the doctor away. If you’re experiencing any general illness this fall season, come visit us at AFC Urgent Care Toms River to receive quality urgent care.
