Food is a big part of fall, and farms play a significant role in seasonal celebrations. Each fall, families plan apple picking excursions with their eyes on baking homemade apple pies. And while Halloween is made even more fun when carving jack-o’-lanterns, savvy cele brants know that carving ses sions are not complete without some roasted pumpkin seeds.
The fall harvest is a great time to indulge in some fresh ly picked healthy foods. While the picking season may vary depending on where you live, and specifically the climate in your region, the following are some fruits and vegetables that might be ripe for the picking this fall.
Youngerbegan.school-aged children have been among the hardest hit during the pandemic. A study published in September 2021 found the percentage of obese children and teens increased to 22 percent compared with 19 percent before the pandemic. The CDC looked at the BMI of study sub jects between March 1, 2020 and November 30, 2020. One of the study’s authors, Dr. Alyson Good man of the CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, described the results as “substantial and alarming.”Beingless physically active, overweight and eating the wrong foods can start children on a path toward problems that once were only considered conditions of adulthood, namely hyperten sion, diabetes and high choles terol, offers the Mayo Clinic. To reverse course, parents, guard ians and educators can focus on helping children become more physically fit. The following are a few ways to do so.
A Harris Poll survey conducted on behalf of the American Psy chological Association found that 61 percent of respondents age 18 and older reported a median weight gain of 15 pounds during the pandemic. Teach children that weight loss is accomplished when more calories are burned than consumed. Pay attention to portion sizes and explain how beverages like fruit juices can be sneaky sources of extra calories.
