As fall arrives, the colors of nature change, the days get shorter, and the temperatures drop. This season represents a transition that can affect our physical and mental well-being as well as create imbalance by creating oxidative stress. At Lucia Magnani Health Clinic, we understand the importance of adapting to these changes to maintain optimal balance. Learn how to best navigate the transition to the fall season by adopting good habits.

The Effects of Autumn on the Body and Mind

Seasonal change can cause tiredness and a drop in mood, known as the “Winter Blues”. This phenomenon is mainly due to the reduction in daylight hours, which affects the production of serotonin and melatonin, hormones responsible for our mood and sleep-wake cycle. For many people, this season can lead to increased stress and difficulty maintaining healthy habits.

Proper nutrition during the autumn period

A balanced, nutrient-rich diet is essential to support your body during seasonal changes. Fall superfoods offer specific benefits to boost your immune system and keep your energy levels high:

• Pumpkin and carrots: rich in beta-carotene, they support the immune system and improve skin health, protecting it from damage caused by harsher climates.
• Pomegranate: powerful antioxidant rich in vitamin C, helps fight oxidative stress and maintains skin elasticity.
• Mushrooms: A source of vitamin D, essential for healthy bones and the proper functioning of the immune system, especially when exposure to sunlight is reduced.
• Nuts and dried fruit: rich in omega-3 and magnesium, they combat stress and insomnia, improving mood and providing constant energy throughout the day.
• Apples and pears: rich in fiber and vitamins, they aid digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels, contributing to prolonged satiety.

The importance of physical activity in autumn

Fall is a great time to engage in regular physical activity. Cooler temperatures make exercise more enjoyable than the hot summer months. Getting active this season helps improve your mood, keeping your energy levels high and counteracting the natural decline in motivation that comes with fewer hours of daylight. Fall sunlight, while less intense, still helps produce vitamin D, which is good for your immune system and overall well-being.

Medical prevention

Fall is the perfect time to focus on medical prevention. Before the arrival of winter, it is advisable to have a complete health check-up to check your health status and prevent any problems that could worsen with the arrival of the cold. Tests such as checking your vitamin D levels and preventing cardiovascular diseases are crucial during this season. 

Fighting seasonal insomnia

Seasonal changes can affect your circadian rhythm, leading to sleep disorders such as insomnia. To combat this problem, it is important to establish a relaxing evening routine, avoid using electronic devices before bedtime, and maintain good sleep hygiene. In addition, regular physical activity and exposure to sunlight in the early hours of the day can help regulate your sleep-wake cycle. Relaxing herbal teas, such as chamomile and valerian, can offer additional natural support to improve the quality of sleep, especially in a diet that includes Long Life Formula® supplements made specifically for this purpose.

Taking care of your skin

Skincare is essential in the fall, as the change in climate leads to increased dryness. With the drop in humidity and exposure to colder winds, the skin tends to lose moisture. This is the time to introduce richer moisturizers and products that protect the skin barrier into your routine. It is also important to exfoliate regularly to remove dead cells and prepare the skin for winter. Don't forget to use sunscreen, as UV rays can also damage the skin in the fall. At Lucia Magnani Health Clinic, we have protocols and cosmetics to intervene and repair the epidermis and care for the skin. The Lucia Magnani Skin Care line is also formulated to offer deep hydration, protect the skin barrier and counteract the damage caused by temperature changes, offering optimal protection to keep the skin soft and luminous, preparing it to face the winter.
