Why Eating Healthy Matters in Fall 2023

Strengthening Patient Immunity

With autumn’s arrival comes sniffles season. Not to mention, the recent spike in COVID [1] increases the need for immune-boosting foods like oranges, greens, and mushrooms. Eating healthfully can help support your patients’ immune system.

Increasing Energy

Fall’s shorter days can sometimes be a big drain on energy. Opting for whole grains, oats, and sweet potatoes, will help patients to feel satiated and can help to provide a steady energy supply.

Seasonal Superfoods

Many fall staples are also superfoods, including: pumpkins, butternut squash, apples, and cranberries – not only tasty but also packed with vitamins and antioxidants.

A Twist on Fall Comfort Foods

With fall comes comfort foods. Various techniques and tricks can help your patients have that cozy feeling without eating something unhealthy. Including cinnamon rather than sugar, opting for roasted vegetables, and eating healthy/hearty soups are all ways to feel cozy and in season without the added junk. Additionally, guiding your patients on portion control and mindfulness will help patients in order to get the most out of their meals. They can still enjoy their favorites in moderation while including healthier options daily.

Boosting Mental Wellness

Seasonal transitions can sometimes affect our mood. A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (found in salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds) can support mental well-being. Let your patients know that what they eat can influence their mood positively. [2]
