Fall Renewal is an opportunity to return to ourselves and all that is important within our lives as the hot air cools and fall sets in.  For many, this is the season that equates to the beginning of stress.  Shorter days, school, events, upcoming holidays, the clock seems to speed up.  Before you go into overdrive remember what research tells us; stress weakens our immune system leaving us vulnerable to illness while relaxation strengthens our system improving our overall state of physical & mental health & wellbeing. So breathe, go at your own pace and enjoy this fall season of renewal with these simple actions that will help you look and feel your best from the inside out. 

• Rest:  Research shows, getting the proper amount of sleep will help you to be more alert, productive and energized throughout the day.  Your body’s natural bio rhythms run on a 90 minute cycle so before bedtime, begin to wind down. Turn off the TV & computer, breathe in some fresh night fall air, read or spend some quality time with the one you love.  Set your alarm at the end of a 90 min. cycle (7 ½ hrs) and you will wake up feeling rested & ready to start the day. BMS now offers Elementals natural sleep aid formula available in our retail section.

• Reconnect:  Fall is the perfect time to get together with friends & family.  Build a campfire, tell ghost stories, make shadow puppets with your hands and eat roasted marshmallows.  Just for the health of it, add to your get together fun fall foods such as walnuts, squash, cranberries, turkey, pumpkin & apples.  All are rich in key health boosting, age defying nutrients that will support you looking and feeling your best from the inside out.  For complete nutritional support, BMS offers Elementals Nutraceuticals in our retail section.

• Rediscover:  Outdoor exercise and activity is reportedly more fun in the fall so get out and enjoy!  Take a bike ride, mountain hike or stroll in the park finishing under your favorite tree for some deep breathing and fall leaf color gazing. Get the whole family involved by raking leafs in your yard into piles. Jump and go, rediscovering fall health fun! Moving around from pile to pile you can’t help but laugh as you strengthen your legs & heart playing for the health of it!
