Healthy with fall fun!

Stay energized with fall festivals

County fairs, harvest festivals, winery tours, craft shows…there are so many fun events going on this time of year! And enjoying a cheery outing each week could as much as double your energy this fall.

OR SNIFF GINGER OIL Taking deep sniffs of ginger essential oil could put the spring back in your step in less than 5 minutes, Ohio State University scientists say. Ginger’s distinctive spicy aroma stimulates a brain region, the cerebral cortex, that boosts oxygen-rich blood flow, energizes muscles and increases stamina.

Burn fat in your sleep

By mid-December, most of us are short on time and energy-yet we'd still love to slim down a bit before Santa arrives. Is there a realistic way to make it happen? \"Yes!\" says 60 Seconds to Slim author Michelle Schoffro Cook, Ph.D., who is sharing holiday-friendly hacks proven to rev metabolism 24/7. \"That means burning more fat even as we sleep,\" she says. Readers who've tested just one or two of her hacks report shedding 1 to 2 pounds a week with no special diet.
