Pumpkin Toss to bring in the fall season

Celebrating the season at Gardens of Health involves tossing a frissbee to win a FREE PUMPKIN!

The many healthy benefits of pumpkin make it our choice for a November wholesome food.

Your body needs help in weathering the changes of autumn. Autumn is a season of change, provoking higher stress levels. As leaves fall, you need nourishing and seasonal foods like pumpkin and other winter squashes, and nervines like nutmeg, to soothe your nervous system.  

Cooked pumpkins are soft and comforting. Both sedatives, pumpkin and nutmeg together reduce stress. Wearing yourself ragged keeping up with October's social calendar can result in compromised immunity for flu season come November. Focusing attention inward frees up energy to help your body prepare for winter. 

Keeping your nervous system stable through fall is your No. 1 tool for maintaining strong immunity and staying healthy.
