3 Best Foods For Fall and 3 Foods To Avoid
Getting fit for fall doesn’t just start and end in the gym, or with your personal trainer.
One of the most important aspects to help you reach your fitness goals is by focusing on your nutrition.
You don’t have to count, track, and inspect every piece of food you put into your mouth.
But you do have to be aware of the foods you choose.
Fall is a great time of year because the new season brings in new, fresh produce and seasonal foods.
Here are 3 of the best foods for you to focus on eating this fall!
Apples
Apples come into season in fall. The fruit itself contains flavonoids, which may improve brain health and function. When you eat the skin of an apple, you also get a high dose of Vitamin C. Other benefits of apples: they are a good food choice to help lower your risk for heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes.
Squash
Like apples, squash contain a high amount of Vitamin A, which is important for better eye health. In addition, Vitamin A maintains heart and lung health. Winter squash is also high in magnesium, which helps with muscle and nerve functions, and even regulates blood sugar. So, if you are ever feeling like you have a sweet tooth craving, grab some winter squash!
Leeks
You have probably never heard of them before. You have probably never seen them in the grocery store, but fall is leek season. Leeks are high in antioxidants, which carry anti-inflammatory properties to help fight off disease.
If you are looking for seasonal produce to snack on or add into your fall recipes, plan to buy some apples, squash, and leeks next time you go to the grocery store!
We can’t talk about good foods to eat this fall without mentioning ones that should not be avoided, but also portion controlled.
Here are 3 foods to watch out for this fall!
Pumpkin spice latte
Halloween candy
Alcohol
It’s practically illegal to not eat halloween candy nor have a pumpkin spice latte during this time of the year.
I would never tell you to not eat those items ever.
I want you to be able to eat halloween candy without feeling guilty.
Enjoy a beverage this fall at any holiday parties you go to.
There’s a time and place for pumpkin spice lattes, halloween candy, and alcohol.
It’s just not everyday!

- Start your day with a healthy breakfast.
- Workout early in the day.
- Eat a salad for lunch or dinner.
