Health Canada<\/a>\u00a0recommends that children participate in at least 60 minutes of daily physical activity and the fall months are a perfect time to explore what your local community has to offer.[1]<\/p>\n A trip to an orchard is a great way to spend the day with your family. You\u2019ll find most orchards offer much more than just apple picking including corn mazes, hay rides, pumpkin patches and petting zoos.<\/p>\n If you have a yard full of leaves that need to be raked, involve the kids. Rake the leaves into a huge pile and jump in before you bag them or leave them on the curb for pick up. Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year so why not capture that beauty by collecting and preserving leaves? After picking some beautiful leaves, press them between two sheets of paper and place heavy books on top for at least 24 hours to ensure they are dry.<\/p>\n Before the weather becomes too cold and the snow starts falling, hit a local trail and enjoy the view.<\/p>\n Pick your own pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch or buy a few from the store. You can start preparing for Halloween by making a jack-o-lantern with your newly picked pumpkin! You can also find decorating ideas for your home that go way beyond traditional Halloween pumpkin carving \u2013 add gourds, squash and dried corn to your home d\u00e9cor for a festive feel!<\/p>\n Check out a local fall fair. From treats and old-fashioned kids\u2019 games, to parades, agricultural displays and horse shows, there\u2019s something for everyone in the family to enjoy!<\/p>\n Before you know it, Halloween will be here! Have you figured out what your costume will be? If not, it\u2019s a great time to get started.<\/p>\n Use local and seasonal produce to make fall treats at home with the kids: old-fashioned fudge, gingerbread, pumpkin bread and pie, candy apples and hot apple cider! Yum!<\/p>\n And though\u00a0the season is undeniably beautiful<\/a>, it also marks the start of cough & cold season which means it may require a bit more effort to keep your family healthy and happy. Keep\u00a0yourself\u00a0warm when you go outside, get plenty of rest, and stock up on\u00a0Coryzalia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Stodal<\/a>. Plus, keep some\u00a0Arnicare<\/a>\u00a0in your medicine cabinet to relieve muscle aches and pain from your outdoor activities.<\/p>\n Happy Fall Everyone!<\/p>\n These homeopathic medicines may not be right for everyone.
