Healthy Autumn YearsSeptember is Healthy Aging

Month, a time to think positivelyabout growing older and takingcharge of our overall health andwell-being. The U.S. SurgeonGeneral suggests concentrating onavoiding disease, stayingphysically and mentally active,engaging with people, andkeeping a watchful eye onfinances.

Walking is a recommendedform of exercise, but taking yoursteps outside can benefit yourmind as well as your body.Researchers say that a walk in apark or other naturalsurroundings appears to affect thepart of the brain that controlsbrooding.

In a study of people whostrolled in a green space, scansshowed less activity in that brainregion, and the walkers reportedfewer negative thoughts andimproved mental health.

Finally, immerse yourself in thescents of the season, whether youare picking a hand soap or roomspray, or enjoying a tasty treat.Choose pumpkin or apple, orspice things up with clove,cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger orpeppermint.
