ASEA Reviews Healthy Foods for Autumn

After a long, hot summer, let’s welcome cool, crisp weather, changing foliage, and cozy oversized sweaters. It’s Autumn! It’s also a traditional time of harvest when the best fruits and vegetables ripen to perfection.

Ripe fruits and veggies don’t just taste good. Seasonal, fresh-picked produce is packed with vitamins and nutrients. Check out ASEA Reviews and try some new, nutrient-packed, healthy fall foods.

Sweet Potatoes

A healthier alternative to the russet potato, sweet potatoes make a great side dish to any meal. They’re also fresh and in season during the fall.

Packed with immune-boosting vitamins A, K, and C, they’re also a great source of fiber. Serve them mashed with butter and cinnamon and topped with roasted marshmallows — or savory — with garlic, butter, and salt. Another favorite for kids would be to serve them as French fries with a tangy topping or dipping sauce.

Beets

Chop raw beets to eat plain, on a salad, or add to a smoothie. Pickle them for a tasty, zingy treat, or roast them for a sugar-sweet addition to any meal.

Did you know beets can help improve the effectiveness of your exercise routine? They contain inorganic nitrate, which the body converts into nitric oxide. This expands blood vessels, increases blood flow, and improves cardiovascular function.

Beets reduce how hard your heart works during exercise, enabling you to exercise longer and minimize recovery time. Also, look into the science and medicine behind supplements that lead to cell repair for another way to increase the benefits of exercise and decrease recovery time.

Pears and Apples

These fall favorites come packed with fiber, and their skins contain plenty of nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants that help build immunity. Eat them plain or dip them in locally-sourced honey or natural peanut butter. Add them to salads, smoothies, or hot whole-grain cereals, like oatmeal, or use them for baking, sautee them, or add them to just about anything to sweeten and fortify your diet.

Winter Squash and Pumpkins

Squash and pumpkins are excellent sources of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. This is essential for eye health and a strong immune system. Vitamin A also helps maintain the lungs, heart, and kidneys. Additionally, squash and pumpkin contain heart-healthy fiber, potassium, and vitamin C.

Squash and pumpkins are popular when roasted and served with butter and salt–or butter cinnamon, cloves, and sugar. Both can be used in many baking recipes, soups, and salads. They’re delicious grilled, steamed, and boiled–there is no limit to how these old-school superfoods can be used.

Artichokes

’Tis the season to break out the artichokes. They contain more antioxidants than any other vegetable and add a delicious sweet/tangy flavor to almost any meal. Serve artichokes on salads or pizza, or cooked into pasta dishes. Find them at almost every grocery store and local farmer’s market.

Eating artichokes can help improve cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and liver and digestive health. Also, they are excellent in dips.

Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are rich in healthy antioxidants and full of fiber. Roast, steam, or saute them as a side dish for just about anything. Add them to your favorite stir fry or serve as an appetizer with dipping sauce.

Among the many health benefits, eating Brussels sprouts can help high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes, and help lower cholesterol.

Other Autumn Health Tips

When the days get shorter and the weather gets chillier, soak in warm baths to improve your mood and feel better. Use RENU28 from ASEA to feel extra pampered.

Remember to get outside during the day for Vitamin D. Even if the sun doesn’t feel strong, it’s there. So wear hats, sunblock, and sunglasses. Create an advanced skincare regimen that adds extra protection from the sun and other environmental stressors.

Stay hydrated! Take a daily portion of the ASEA Redox Cell Signaling Supplement for the benefits of a reduction-oxidation reaction providing energy and supporting your body’s metabolic functions.
