Fall Wellness You'll Actually Keep
Share
Cold and busy months are easier with small routines you can repeat. Keep it food-first, simple, and steady.
Sleep First
- Aim for 7–9 hours; set a fixed lights-out window.
- Keep the room dark and cool; charge devices outside.
- Short wind-down: dim lights → wash → jot tomorrow’s to-do → bed.
Hydration & Rhythm
- Start the day with a full glass of water.
- Carry a bottle; finish one by noon, one by evening.
- Pair water with caffeine to offset dryness.
Food-First Immune Support
- Vitamin C foods daily: citrus, kiwi, bell peppers, broccoli.
- Iron helpers: pair beans or greens with citrus for better absorption.
- Protein at each meal for steadier energy.
Daily Movement
- 10–20 minutes counts: brisk walk, bodyweight circuit, or stretch flow.
- Anchor after breakfast or before dinner for consistency.
Hygiene Basics
- Wash hands; swap towels and pillowcases regularly.
- Clean high-touch surfaces weekly.
Quick Checklist
- Sleep window set
- Water bottle filled
- Vitamin C food on plate
- 10–20 min movement
- Handwashing routine
