5 Biggest Mistakes People Make Before Flu Season
The shift from summer to fall brings a slew of changes for many of us: less sunshine, less movement, disrupted sleep, and more processed foods, especially once the holidays arrive. This way of living might be normalized, yet it leaves us more vulnerable when flu season arrives.
Tick Season Is Over? Think Again
It's a common misconception that the risk for tick bites ends once summer winds down. Unfortunately, that's not true. Ticks are most prevalent during the spring and early summer, but many species remain active well into the fall. As long as green leaves are on trees, there's still a risk.

If you ask your grandparents, or their grandparents, how they fell asleep before sleep medications existed, chances are you'd hear a familiar answer: a warm glass of milk before bed. As it turns out, there may have been more wisdom behind that nightly ritual than they realized.
Understanding What Impacts Your Focus
If you’ve been struggling to focus lately, feeling foggy, distracted, or mentally tired, there’s usually a reason. It’s easy to blame stress or assume something deeper is going on. But in many cases, your ability to concentrate, stay motivated, and think clearly comes down to your daily habits. Your sleep schedule, sunlight exposure, stress levels, breathing patterns, and the foods you eat all influence how your brain functions and how easily you can stay on task.
