Upon arrival of autumn , many people feel a certain appeasement , a feeling of comfort and relief. The beginning of autumn marks a change of habits and lifestyle . The transition from spring to winter is seen as a period of renewal. Nature is getting ready to welcome the low temperatures and dons a nice light and romantic coat. The atmosphere becomes more refreshing and the last rays are less aggressive. Moreover, since we are starting to put on more covering clothes, the eyes of others are less important. No more little complexes and the feeling of having to show an irreproachable body during the summer.

The suffocation of summer is now far behind us. And since there is less glare from the sun, we can better perceive the landscape and the environment around us. We are then ecstatic at the sight of the beauty of the autumnal landscape. Some consider that this mild season is synonymous with well-being, because the colors of the environment soothe. Take advantage of autumn mornings to take a deep breath of fresh air. The nights are longer, which promotes restful sleep.

Scientists call it ' psychological heat » this feeling of calm and well-being that one feels at the sight of autumn landscapes. The nature that is about to be reborn sends back the hope of seeing better days. It's the season for the fall folklore practice of snuggling up in warm clothes and cozy throws while drinking a hot beverage. American researchers have explained this phenomenon with a simple fact. According to them, when outside temperatures start to drop, people tend to favor comforting and convivial activities such as sports or meditation. Nothing better to feel calm.

Why is fall a cool season?

Here are some good reasons to think that fall is a really cool time.

• The temperature is milder : there is no more scorching heat that makes us sweat right down to our hair. You can go outside without feeling overwhelmed by the sun and the air that is too dry.
• There is less risk of sunburn: in autumn, the risk of sunburn or, at worst, of contracting skin cancer decreases compared to summer and winter. It is good to note that the snow which intensely reflects the rays is favorable to sunburn. But beware, this is not a reason to neglect the sunscreen, because UV rays can pass through the clouds.
• The fall looks are irresistible: fashionistas are always eager for fall to put on their light jackets and sweaters, scarves and trendy tights. Summer looks are fine, but because of the heat, everything becomes uncomfortable. And in winter, it is especially necessary to think about warming up rather than being well dressed. The spring-autumn collections are therefore the most popular.
• The colors of nature are flamboyant and warm.
• The air is purer because the leaves, before falling, produce more oxygen and perfume the air with their intoxicating scent.
• Fall decorations are beautiful and comforting.
• The cozy drinks are gentle on the soul: cappuccino, iced coffee; pumpkin lattes, hot ginger tea, etc.
• The markets are full of fruits and colorful vegetables that taste better in the fall. This gives the possibility of making delicious recipes.
• You can use the oven every day to concoct good meals, because in summer, you have to limit their use to avoid overheating the house.
• We can start watching the good Christmas and Halloween movies!
