\n

1. Let Beans Be a Part of Your Diet<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you do one thing to improve your diet this fall, eat 3 cups of beans each week. Besides being a\u00a0comfort food<\/a>, beans add flavor and texture to soups, chili, and casseroles. They’re also a great salad topper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beans are rich in protein, iron,\u00a0folic acid<\/a>, fiber, and\u00a0potassium<\/a>. So pick a bean, any bean — lima, black, garbanzo, pinto, or others — and enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

2. Defuse Stress With Friendship<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fall is a good time to come back together after the summer scattering of vacations and busy schedules — a great time to relax with friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

Soothe away stress by making contact in person or by phone with someone you care about, someone you haven’t talked to in awhile because life got in the way. The positive emotions will make you feel good, and when joy and stress meet up, the joy wins out.<\/span><\/section>\n

3. Be Tender With Your Teeth<\/h2>\n

If you do one thing to improve your dental health this fall, turn over a new leaf by ditching habits that are hard on your\u00a0teeth<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Have Fun With Fitness<\/h2>\n

Improve your fitness this fall: Try a less-conventional\u00a0workout<\/a>\u00a0to spruce up your regimen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Break out of your fitness rut by taking a ballroom dance class or a mind-body workout such as\u00a0yoga<\/a>,\u00a0Pilates<\/a>, or\u00a0Tai chi<\/a>. You’ll be energized and more likely to stick with it.<\/span><\/p>\n
