The Passing Of Summer!

Here in the Southern hemisphere the balmy days of autumn are upon us....this is my favourite time of the year in every way, the weather is calm and sunny and the hectic summer days are a distant memory. This is a mellow time of contemplation, a time for inner reflection but also a time for maintaining the good habits accumulated during the summer months: of fresh fruit, salads, cooling juices, and exercise time spent outdoors in nature.

How then can we continue this healthy lifestyle throughout the cold winter months to come?

There are many often unappreciated benefits of the winter months, cosy evenings by a warm fire, crisp clear mornings and healthy warming soups and herbal teas, and the majority of our summer vegetables are still available.

But most of all we can maintain our summer exercise routine.....but at a faster pace! Our morning or evening stroll can become a jog to boost circulation, a swim can be enjoyed at an indoor pool, compete for speed with a swim buddy: and cycling can evolve into a faster pace also.

So enjoy the cooler season and reap it's benefits every day!
