And just like that ...
We are in the season of Fall.
Not only is Fall the season of giving thanks — it is also the season of Letting Go.
But this question naturally arises: How do we incorporate lifestyle changes alongside seasonal changes?
One way to navigate the seasons is through foods + routines.
Ayurveda — India's ancient medical science, rooted in holistic wellness practices, recommends alleviating the drying winds of autumn (which can incite restlessness + anxiety) with grounding qualities that are warm + moist.
Consider Changing Foods
Fall Herbs + Spices:
cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove, tulsi tea
Foods to favor:
apples, cranberries, dates, beets, oats, avocado

caffeine, raw foods, popcorn
