Hormonal health is always an important part of a woman's life, but as the weather starts to cool and the leaves start to turn, it becomes even more important. Cooler weather means that women tend to be wearing more layers, which can make your skin feel drier than usual. You may also find yourself feeling moodier or more depressed as the days get shorter, and that can certainly have an effect on your hormonal balance.
In order to remain healthy and happy in this season, there are a few key areas that you'll want to make sure you're taking care of:
1) Hydrate! Drinking plenty of water every day will help your body stay at a healthy temperature and regulate your moods.
2) Eat well! Fruits and veggies are excellent sources of vitamins and minerals, so you'll want to make sure you're getting them in every day.
3) Get moving! This time of year tends to be colder and darker than others, so you'll want to continue exercising regularly so that you stay fit—and if possible, try to schedule outdoor exercise times when you can soak up some sun while staying active.
4) Pamper yourself! Now is a great time to treat yourself with some new experiences. They don't have to be fancy. But it's important to make sure you have novelty in your life.
