Seasonal Diet -- Autumn
Adjust font size:

Autumn gives us richer and denser foods that require more heat to prepare; these include whole grains, dried legumes, and hard squashes. Thus, there are more cooked foods, more calories, fats, and protein, less liquids, and often a few added pounds. Regular exercise, including stretching to maintain or improve flexibility, is also important during this more contractive time.
