Eat with the Season Now’s the perfect time to eliminate processed foods from your diet and replace them with fresh, in-season produce. Asparagus, spinach, strawberries and pineapples are just a few of the delicious fruits and veggies in season during April. Be sure to check out our article The Importance of Eating in Season for more on incorporating seasonal produce into your diet. Head Outdoors After braving the cold and dark winter, heading outdoors once the weather breaks is a great idea. Spending so much time indoors during the winter months can deplete the body of much needed vitamins and minerals that are essential for your well-being. Get Rid of Dust Creating a tidy space is not only good for looks, but it can also be important for your health. Taking time to eliminate any dust, mold or other allergens from your home can help eliminate common springtime allergies. Plant a Garden Whether its flowers, herbs or fruits and veggies, starting your own home garden is easier than you think. Having access to fresh produce right in your backyard is great for your health and the environment. Clear Your Mind Don’t forget to also take time to declutter your mind this spring. Whether you decide to try therapy or meditation, including one of these in your self-care routine can greatly improve your emotional, mental and physical health.
