How Torontonians can take care of their health this Fall
Your health is essential to every aspect of your life, which is why it’s imperative that you’re taking the necessary steps to prioritize your mental and physical well-being. This goes beyond the treat-yourself mentality and past superficial purchases and treatments.
As the fall approaches and we begin to inch closer to the holidays, the idea of carving out time for yourself may seem unrealistic — but it’s essential. Living in the GTA, and Toronto especially, is constantly demanding no matter the season. That’s why finding tailored ways to prioritize your mental and physical health is essential.
We’ve put together our recommendations for activities and products that can help Torontonians take care of their health this coming fall season.
Maximizing Time Outdoors
Toronto is the perfect city to explore no matter the season. Fall is an incredibly wonderful season since the temperatures aren’t in any extremes. For some, simply walking through High Park on the weekends or roaming Queen Street West on their lunch break can help ease the body and mind. For others looking to soak up their time outdoors as much as possible, there are several unique hiking trails and beautiful beaches to take advantage of in the fall.
Crafting the Perfect Skincare Routine
Our skin is often neglected when our schedules are overwhelmed. In reality, your skin is one of the most essential parts of your physical health and should never be put on the back burner. This is where finding your ideal skincare routine comes into place. When your skin looks and feels its best, not only do you often feel more confident, but you’re providing the nutrients you need internally to function at your highest level.
Everyone’s skincare routine may look different, depending on their skin type, but at the end of the day, it’s about finding the products that work for you — whether it’s a line of serums and moisturizers from SkinCeuticals in Toronto or a local, organic brand, there is no wrong answer as long as it’s benefiting your skin.
Eating Healthier
Nourishing the body starts with your meals. A commitment to eating healthier is not only beneficial for your body — strengthening your bones and preventing diseases — but it can send much-needed endorphins to the brain.
Many conditions of the body can be traced back to an unhealthy diet, from blood pressure to gut health. The first step is to cut back on processed foods since they often contain trans and saturated fats. The next step is to evaluate what you can add to your existing diet. Adding healthy fats — including fatty fish like salmon and tuna, nuts, and seeds — can help lower cholesterol and keep the skin of the face hydrated.
While Toronto is notorious for its elaborate culinary scene, when you take the time to ensure you’re giving your body the nutrients it needs, you can still enjoy the food of the city without sacrificing your internal well-being.
