Fall is fast approaching. And while you may be itching for pumpkin-spice lattes and a cozier wardrobe, your clothes aren’t the only thing you should makeover when the weather turns. As the seasons change, so should your diet.

Eating seasonally is not only important because it supports a more sustainable lifestyle, but because it’s nature’s way.
