The Vitamin-Rich Fruits & Veggies of Fall

Besides being tasty, many fall fruits and veggies offer terrific health benefits.  Like giant vitamins, squash and pumpkin pack a punch with Vitamin A and Potassium.  The more you eat of these, the more your eyes will thank you and your blood pressure too. Apples can help keep the doctor away as well, so the saying goes! Chock full of the “good” kind of fiber, apples help us digest all the other not-so-healthy-stuff (ahem) we probably shouldn’t have eaten.  Even certain spices, like cinnamon and nutmeg, can boost our health from the inside out.  Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar, while nutmeg offers a laundry list of benefits that make it sound a bit like snake oil.  But it's not! When used in moderation (a teaspoon or two), nutmeg can help both your brain and your body, according to quite a few sources.  While it goes to work on your digestion, it also aids with focus, clarity, and memory.   So, a little nutmeg goes a long way.
