Ved:Dear Guys! Today we have gathered in our cozy living room to enjoy the variety of colors, sounds, and shades that the Sorceress Autumn is so rich in. After all, autumn is an extraordinary time, it is no longer summer, but not yet winter. And I think you will agree with me that no other time of year, except autumn, can boast of such extraordinary beauty! Even poets sang the beauty of autumn in their poems.

And now I would love to listen to the wonderful poems that you have prepared for today’s meeting.

Music is playing. Against the background of music, children read poems about autumn

……………………….

Ved:What is it like, autumn mood? With a slight sadness for the passing summer, for the bright colors and aromas, and perhaps for unfulfilled dreams.

Everyone has their own autumn mood. It lives in nature, in art and in people. In everyone who is able to understand and feel the beauty of autumn.

Poem "Sad time.."

Ved:Autumn... The golden time of the year, striking with the richness of flowers, fruits, a fantastic combination of colors: from bright, eye-catching to blurry-transparent halftones... Today our living room is decorated with beautiful masterpieces, and we can get acquainted with the brilliant creations of artists and composers. And music and fine arts teachers will help us with this.

Music teacher:

Music will tell us about everything in the world

About snow-white clouds, about the sun, and about summer.

About how a stormy river hits a rocky shore,

As the mountains look down on you, the road winds like a ribbon.

The crane wedge flies away, and the snowflake on your hand melts.

About how the yellow leaf circles and the light burns in the window all night.

As the lights go out in the morning, the ships go to sea.

Like friends singing around a fire, and flowers blooming in the meadows.

How the pages of books rustle, how precious every moment in life is.

Art teacher:

No, it's not the landscape that attracts me

It’s not the colors that I’m trying to notice,

And what shines in the colors:

Love and joy of being.

It's spilled everywhere...

She is everywhere where beauty is...

Music teacher:

Music and painting, architecture and literature, poetry and theater are forms of art and each of them excites the hearts of people and awakens the best feelings in them. They all do it with their own language or, as we say, with their own means. Today we will talk about painting and music, about whether it is possible to “hear” a painting and “see” the music.

Music is one of the oldest forms of art. We do not always notice the beauty of the world around us, we see and hear the beauty of our native nature. And often artists help us with this, teach us to peer and listen to the world around us.

Art teacher:

All sounds and colors relationships,

And also ways of transposition

Any shades of color in notes, sounds.

Love and joy of being.

It's spilled everywhere...

She is everywhere where beauty is...

Presentation of paintings

Let’s turn to the time of “Golden Autumn” and talk about how Russian artists saw autumn.

• Here is a reproduction of a painting by I.I. Levitan "Golden Autumn"

The painting was painted in the fall of 1895 - at a time when Levitan lived in the Gorka estate, located one and a half kilometers from the village of Ostrovno. The painting depicts the Syezha River flowing next to Ostrovno. This place was located just half a kilometer from the Gorka estate. Levitan loved to paint autumn landscapes - he had more than a hundred paintings associated with this time of year. Among them, the painting “Golden Autumn” is one of the artist’s most famous works. It depicts a small river surrounded by trees covered with yellow and red autumn leaves. In the distance you can see village houses, fields, and further, on the horizon, an autumn forest, painted in shades of yellow. The bright, major, optimistic colors of this painting are not characteristic of Levitan’s work - he usually used softer and more delicate tones. The painting is in the State Tretyakov Gallery.

• What kind of autumn did the artist see?
• What did you like about it?
• What thoughts and feelings does the picture give rise to?

Consider a reproduction of Vasily Dmitrievich Polenov’s painting “Golden Autumn”;

“How I would like to show you our Oka,” Polenov wrote to Konstantin Korovin in 1914. “After all, you and I were the first to discover its beauty and choose a place to live.” Many years of living on the banks of the Oka did not disappoint the artist in its beauty. Polenov continued to tenderly love this nature and, above all, for the harmony diffused in it. He captures the Oka in different seasons, in its various states, giving a real chronicle of its life, full of poetry and deep truth: “Early Snow”, “Summer on the Oka”, “Golden Autumn”, “Autumn on the Oka near Tarusa”.

“Golden Autumn” by Polenov is a symbol of Russian nature. Polenov managed to convey the beauty of autumn like no one else in Russian art.

A broad picture of nature opens up to the viewer's eyes. The majestic river calmly rolls its clear blue waters. Its high bank gives way to a slightly hilly plain that stretches to the horizon. The hills, outlined by smooth, flowing lines, gradually disappear and disappear into the blue distance. Only a small part of this plain falls into the artist’s field of vision - the hills, trees and river appear as if accidentally cut off by the frame of the picture. Thanks to this, the viewer can mentally continue the image, imagine the whole view as a whole and feel the vastness of the Oka meadows captured by the artist.

What words can you choose to describe the picture when talking about the landscape?

One of the many artists depicting the autumn landscape can be called

Ilya Semenovich Ostroukhov. At the first glance at the picture, it is clear that I.S. Ostroukhov loved autumn. With such tenderness he drew the leaves, all different: both in color and shape. And this love is passed on to us. Here's what the author himself said:

“... I just want to walk along the golden carpet of autumn, collect colorful foliage, breathe in the coolness of the forest, in which you can feel the slight smell of dampness and mycelium, and remember the forest as solemn and bright. After all, very soon the trees will shed their dresses and fall asleep, enveloped in winter sleep...”

Consider the work “Autumn Landscape”

What mood does the painting evoke?

One of the autumn landscapes is the work “Golden Autumn”. Consider.

Listen to one of the schoolgirls describe her impressions of the painting.

I just want to walk along the golden carpet of autumn, collect colorful leaves, breathe in the coolness of the forest, in which you can feel the slight smell of dampness and mycelium, and remember the forest as solemn and bright. After all, very soon the trees will shed their dresses and fall asleep, enveloped in winter sleep.

• You looked at reproductions of paintings where artists depicted autumn in their own way, with their own mood. Many artists, poets, and composers often sing about the wonderful pictures of nature. If, while reading books, looking at paintings, listening to music, we pay attention to everything connected with nature, we may even be surprised at how often and deeply nature penetrates into art, how closely they are connected with each other . That is why for any person, love for art and love for nature are very close and related feelings.

Ved:Sad October holds out its business card, where the lines of the brilliant Russian poet are written in colorless ink of fog:

October has already arrived - the grove is already shaking off

The last leaves from their naked branches.

The autumn cold has blown in - the road is freezing,

...And the pond has already frozen...

Ved: We all call autumn differently: some call it cold and rainy. And someone is generous and golden, and no matter how it is outside - cold or warm - the native land is always beautiful, attractive, charming! And even popular wisdom says: “Autumn is sad, but life is fun!”

Music teacher:

Do you believe that the unique beauty of the autumn landscape can be conveyed through music? ?

Teacher's speech:
- Let's imagine that you are composers and you also want to depict autumn. What means of musical expression would you use?
Students are divided into pairs and given a few minutes to formulate a hypothesis according to the following scheme:
tempo, dynamics, registers, musical instruments.

What would you think the character of the piece, the mood would be, and why?
Their guesses are written down in notebooks and, if desired, voiced at the board.

Many composers depicted the mood of autumn in their works. The history of music knows four famous interpretations of the theme of the seasons. These works are called “Seasons”. This is a cycle of concerts by Vivaldi, an oratorio by Haydn (1801), a cycle of piano pieces by P. I. Tchaikovsky (1876), and a ballet by A. K. Glazunov (1899).
Today we will listen to fragments of works by P.I. Tchaikovsky and A. Vivaldi. While listening, note for yourself which of your assumptions coincided with the composer’s thoughts and which did not.

Students listen to "Autumn Song" by P.I. Tchaikovsky

When listening to music, pay attention to the rhythm, dynamics, timbre (sound color). Analysis of the work according to the diagram. Question: What did music add to the description of autumn? Whose assumptions coincided with Tchaikovsky's music?

- “Autumn Song” occupies a special place in the cycle. This is a dull landscape, the autumn dying of nature and sadness for the passing summer as a symbol of life. The melody is dominated by sad intonations - sighs. In the middle part there is a certain rise, trembling inspiration, as if hope for life flashed. But the third section, repeating the first, again returns to the initial sad “sighs”.

Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)

"The Four Seasons" by Antonio Vivaldi is one of the most popular works of all time. For many, the very name "Vivaldi" is synonymous with "The Four Seasons" and vice versa (although he wrote a lot of other works). The composer prefaced each of the concerts with a sonnet - a kind of literary program. It is assumed that the author of the poems is Vivaldi himself. These are the lines that begin the sonnet "Autumn" (L"Autunno):

The peasant harvest festival is noisy.
Fun, laughter, lively songs ringing!..

Students listen to the concert “Autumn” by A. Vivaldi, part 1

Analysis of the work according to the diagram. Question: Whose assumptions coincided with Vivaldi’s music?

First part. “The dance and song of the peasants,” explains the author’s remark at the beginning of the part. The cheerful mood is conveyed by rhythm. The brightness of the images is given by the use of the echo effect, so beloved not only by Vivaldi, but also by all Baroque composers. This is played by the whole orchestra and the soloist along with it. This is the peculiarity of the baroque instrumental concert...

The conclusions are summarized. What do these pieces of music have in common? What is the difference?

Ved:It's raining again... It hits the keys cleanly.

I fell hopelessly in love with this music.

Undoubtedly he is the best of all pianists,

What you and I once heard.

On the cornice, as if on a black piano,

He plays Vivaldi's rainy "Autumn"

Unable to hold back my tears, and hardly ashamed of them,

And dropping them gently among the maples and pines.

Well, we enjoy the music of sadness,

We get lost in the notes high and low.

Something is rushing out: it will shrink, let go

The pianist’s playing is piercingly pure...

Ved:How pleasant it is to sit in a soft cozy chair on a rainy autumn evening with a cup of delicious tea. And if guests drop by for a quick visit, it’s doubly pleasant, you can laugh and talk with them. Well, for example, about music. What do you think about music?

Presentation of projects “What I think about music”

Ved:I want to see the music

I want to hear the music

What is this music?

You see, the maple leaf is spinning,

Quietly spinning to the music.

You see, the cloud is spinning in the sky -

There will be rain music.

Both the wind and the sun,

And the clouds and the rain,

And the little grain

Its own music too...

Art teacher:

Now let each of you create a musical palette. Let's translate the composers' experiences into color. (Students are given blanks in the form of a palette.) We compose an autumn palette in color.

Music will help you with this. When listening to music, pay attention to the rhythm, dynamics, timbre (sound color).
1) prepared paints, brushes, water.

So you and I captured the moment of the passing autumn. Let's show our work. The autumn turned out to be different, but for the most part you painted a bright, solemn autumn. But if there were no sadness and sadness, then we probably would not value the joyful and pleasant moments of life so much.

Ved:They say that autumn means sadness, continuous rains, cloudy weather... Today you and I realized exactly the opposite. Autumn is beautiful and attractive in its own way. It brings generosity to the soul, warmth from human communication to the heart, and brings unique beauty into our lives! We have visited the world of autumn beauty and harmony. Maybe one of you, when you grow up, will become a famous poet, artist, musician, composer or fashion designer, and our meetings in the creative living room will help him. We thank this AUTUMN for gathering us all in her living room. Winter, spring, summer are ahead... and then autumn again. How many more of them there will be in our lives! I hope that the golden lights of the Autumn Living Room will be lit for all of us in our school more than once. See you again!

Music sounds, the guys leave the hall.

Autumn is early.
Leaves are falling.
Step carefully into the grass.
Each leaf is a fox's face...
This is the land on which I live.

Foxes quarrel, foxes are sad,
foxes celebrate, cry, sing,
and when they light their pipes,
It means the rain will come soon.

Burning runs through the trunks,
and the trunks disappear into the ditch.
Each trunk is the body of a deer...
This is the land on which I live.

Red oak with blue horns
waiting for an opponent from silence...
Be careful:
an ax underfoot!
And the roads back are burned!

But in the forest, at the pine entrance,
someone actually believes in him...
There's nothing you can do about it:
nature!
This is the land I live on
(B. Okudzhava)

There is in the initial autumn
A short but wonderful time -
The whole day is like crystal,
And the evenings are radiant...
...
The air is empty, the birds are no longer heard,
But the first winter storms are still far away -
And pure and warm azure flows
To the resting field...

F. I. Tyutchev

Autumn. Thicket of the forest.
Dry swamp moss.
Lake Beleso.
The sky is pale.
The water lilies have bloomed,
And the saffron bloomed.
The paths are broken,
The forest is both empty and bare.
Only you are beautiful
Although it has been dry for a long time,
In the hummocks by the bay
Old alder.
You look feminine
Into the water, half asleep -
And you'll turn silver
First of all, to spring.

(I. Bunin)

Autumn morning

The lovers' speeches are cut short,
The last starling flies away.
They fall from the maples all day long
Silhouettes of crimson hearts.
What have you done to us, autumn!
The earth freezes in red gold.
The flame of sorrow whistles underfoot,
Moving heaps of leaves.

N. Zabolotsky

And every autumn I bloom again;
The Russian cold is good for my health;
I feel love again for the habits of life:
One by one sleep flies away, one by one hunger comes;
The blood plays easily and joyfully in the heart,
Desires are boiling - I’m happy, young again,
I'm full of life again - that's my body
(Please forgive me the unnecessary prosaicism).

A.S. Pushkin

Indian summer

Indian summer has arrived -
Days of farewell warmth.
Warmed by the late sun,
In the crack the fly came to life.

Sun! What's more beautiful in the world
After a chilly day?..
Gossamer light yarn
Wrapped around a branch.

Tomorrow the rain will pour down quickly,
The sun is obscured by a cloud.
Silver cobwebs
There are two or three days left to live.

Have pity, autumn! Give us light!
Protect from winter darkness!
Have pity on us, Indian summer:
These cobwebs are us.

(D. Kedrin)

And again, like in the sweet years
melancholy, purity and miracles,
looks into the limp waters
ruddy thinning forest.

Simple as God's forgiveness
The transparent distance widens.
Ah, autumn, my delight,
my golden sadness!

It's fresh and the cobwebs are shining...
I rustle, I walk along the river,
through the branches and clusters of rowan
I look at the quiet sky.

And the wide vault turns blue,
and flocks of nomadic birds -
that timid children's lines
in the desert of ancient pages...

(V. Nabokov)

Golden autumn

Autumn. Fairytale palace
Open for everyone to review.
Clearings of forest roads,
Looking into the lakes.

Like at a painting exhibition:
Halls, halls, halls, halls
Elm, ash, aspen
Unprecedented in gilding.

Linden gold hoop -
Like a crown on a newlywed.
The face of a birch tree - under a veil
Bridal and transparent.

Buried land
Under leaves in ditches, holes.
In the yellow maple outbuildings,
As if in gilded frames.

Where are the trees in September
At dawn they stand in pairs,
And the sunset on their bark
Leaves an amber trail.

Where you can't step into a ravine,
So that everyone doesn't know:
It's so raging that not a single step
There is a tree leaf underfoot.

Where it sounds at the end of the alleys
Echo at a steep descent
And dawn cherry glue
Solidifies in the form of a clot.

Autumn. Ancient Corner
Old books, clothes, weapons,
Where is the treasure catalog
Flipping through the cold.

September-Khmuren. The weather begins to gloomy, which is why the month has such a name - Khmuren. Autumn is slowly approaching. There will still be many sunny days, but at times it will rain. The tops of the trees are covered with a light gilding, yellowed leaves fall and the glorious time of warm days begins - Indian summer.

September: first colors

Description of the nature of autumn (I - II week)
Somehow Princess Autumn approached quietly and stealthily. This is not to say that she was not expected. After a long season of growth, by the arrival of autumn, nature was out of breath. The plants are tired of climbing up, the grass has dried up and turned yellow over the summer from the scorching rays of the sun, the trees are rustling with their drooping leaves, and the whole living world has tiredly fled to their places. Birds in flocks cluster higher and higher towards the sky, seeing off the soft rays of the passing warm days. Tired nature in the fall tends to sleep, but we still have to prepare well for rest. Cool rains, cold winds and the long, tedious time of winter are not over the horizon.

September is a transition period from summer warmth to autumn coolness. The temperature does not drop sharply, but gradually. The nights become cool, sunny, temperate days give way to rainy ones with glimpses of the sun. At times, in the absence of the sun, a cold wind blows, but the weather changes from warm to cold days are not sharp, so the average daily temperature in early autumn is +11 ° C.

Autumn embraced nature, slowly picking up canvas and brushes to begin painting the drooping vegetation in variegated colors with the trepidation of an artist. Never does nature look as delightful and touching as nature does in autumn. September begins to paint the forest, first leaving the gilding on the tops of the trees, and adding shades to the bushes, painting the autumn nature in bright colors. Then October will cover all the trees with gold, the wonderful time of golden autumn, and November will remove the colors behind them and erase all the painting.

And yet, the earth still has something to feed and delight us with. Dry branches can be pampered with late black berries, blackberries. If you go deeper into the autumn forest and search, you can find whole bunches of lingonberries. The medicinal herbs have not yet bloomed. The chamomile is in bloom, the cornflowers and celandine have not yet wilted. And a knowledgeable herbalist can look for medicinal roots, all sorts of herbs for tea leaves and tart ripe berries for jam.

September in the folk calendar

"Ivan the Flight came, but stole the red summer"

The days are still warm, sometimes it will be rainy, the winds are not so cold, and it seems that summer will not go away. But the days are getting shorter and the sun is shining less hot. What descriptions of autumn have not been given by the people. Autumn nature is reflected in both poetry and signs. On the first days of September we looked at what the winter would be like. The first frosts do not take long to appear and appear from September 5th - “Luppovsky” frosts. And if you look into the sky and see a flock of cranes flying away, then this is a sign - winter will come early.

It's time to mow the oats exactly on September 8 - Natalya-Ovsyanitsa, together with Peter-Paul-Rowanberry. Rowan branches should be broken off and hung under the roof, and some should be left for winter birds. On September 11, Ivan Lent comes, as he was called - the godfather of autumn, they also called him Ivan the Flyer - and takes the warmth with him. From that day on, Ivan chases flocks of birds overseas to seek warmth. By the way, the cranes fly away within a couple of days. So to speak, September 13 is the official day of departure of the cranes. And the first cool days will not last long, because a gentle time is ahead - Indian summer.

Autumn in Russian poetry

Great Russian poets sincerely admired autumn, came up with various images for it, and tried to highlight it against the background of other seasons. Nature in autumn, first of all, conveys the general mood of a person and the environment: most often it is sadness, certain memories, comprehension of the essence. But it cannot be said unequivocally that autumn in Russian poetry is only a sad time, by no means.

Autumn is imbued with tenderness, sophistication and, in a sense, wisdom. Russian poets praised this time of year and saw a certain zest in it. A striking example is Tyutchev’s poem “There is in the original autumn...”. The emphasis here is on how special this time of year is, that it is a “wonderful time”, that the evenings are “radiant” here.

There is in the initial autumn
A short but wonderful time -
The whole day is like crystal,
And the evenings are radiant...

Where the cheerful sickle walked and the ear fell,
Now everything is empty - space is everywhere, -
Only a web of thin hair
Glistens on the idle furrow.

The air is empty, the birds are no longer heard,
But the first winter storms are still far away -
And pure and warm azure flows
To the resting field...

The greatest poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin also paid great attention to autumn. It may seem to some that the description of autumn in Pushkin’s poems has a rather pessimistic connotation, and as proof they cite the poem “The sky was already breathing in autumn...”, where the poet wrote that it is a “boring time.” But let's take a look at other poems by Alexander Sergeevich, in which the image of this time of year is completely different. For example, the poet once admitted to his reader: “...Of the annual times, I am glad only for her,” he even compared autumn with an unloved child in the family, to whom he is strongly attracted.

The sky was already breathing in autumn,
The sun shone less often.
The day was getting shorter
Mysterious forest canopy
With a sad noise she stripped herself,
Fog lay over the fields,
Noisy caravan of geese
Stretched to the south: approaching
Quite a boring time;
It was already November outside the yard.

September: Indian summer

Description of the autumn nature of September (III - IV week)
Nature in the fall on the eve of October has not yet acquired an elegantly variegated hue, it is not immediately noticeable, but there are more gilded tops and in some places red shades are increasingly appearing in the foliage. The first rains have passed and the time has come for the short return of summer - Indian summer. Warm autumn days will most likely continue until the first days of October. Summer will stay a little longer, delight you with its former warmth, and then leave.

On the 20th of September, warm, almost summer weather with moderate sun sets in. The leaves of trees and shrubs change color to yellow and yellow-red and begin to noticeably fall off by the end of the month. Most often this happens at night, when the air temperature is low, and also when exposed to stronger but still warm daytime winds.

With almost summer warmth, September pleases with sweet apples. Antonovka crumbled, the gardens were filled with a fragrant, ripe aroma. Autumn apples are crunchy, sour and bitter, but some are as simply sweet as honey. It would be nice to collect more apples and save them for the whole winter. For better preservation of the apples, it is better not to be too lazy to wrap each one in paper, then the taste will not go away. And after the apples, the final touch of natural kindness and outgoing warmth will be the sprawling flower gardens. Asters, dahlias, hydrangeas - these are the flowers that change the mood of September from variegated tones to bright and golden ones in October.

The second half of September in the folk calendar

"The bird flies away to the warmth, autumn is heading towards winter"

And now comes the first day of autumn - September 14th. The day on which autumn was celebrated was not accidental. On this day, according to the old calendar - September 1, together with autumn, they celebrated the New Year. Semyon the Summer Conductor spent the summer, and the peasant finished all his work. By winter, food, packing, the hut are ready, it’s time to relax and have fun from the heart. Decorated girls in bright dresses sang songs and buried the flies they caught in the ground, thereby saying goodbye to the summer, and the boys looked after them and chose a companion for themselves.

On Semyon-Letoprovedts the weather sets warm days, then summer will change its mind and return. The days are clear, the sun is velvety, gently warms, but as soon as you go behind the cloud, a cool breeze blows from out of nowhere. Here are the Mikhailovsky matinees - on September 19th they bring cool air in the mornings. The grass is covered with dew, wet and cold. The sun does not rise high, and it does not pamper you with warmth as in summer, and on September 21 they begin to welcome autumn for the second time. Autumn begins. You still have to work, you need to remove the onions, and quickly, otherwise you won’t be able to make it by the 24th day of autumn - Fedora is ending summer.

On Fedora, the Indian summer may end, inclement weather may set in, but you can also extend the pleasure of bright days a little longer, but not as warm as recently. And now the ground begins to freeze - September 26 - Corniglia. And now the third meeting of autumn falls on Vozdvizhenye. Cold displaces heat. Somewhere far away, a bear lies down in a den, and it’s quiet in the forest, the birds fly away, and the remaining living creatures hibernate, except for those animals that spend the winter in the forest, they just change their clothes to warmer ones. The flight of the goose is September 28, women are pulling turnips, removing the tops, trimming the roots, men are shearing sheep, there is time to felt warm boots for the winter, there is still a lot of preparation to be done to meet the cold days. Colorful October arrives and leaves the warmth in September.

Autumn in Russian painting

When is nature at its most beautiful? Many people, especially artists, believe: autumn. It’s not for nothing that autumn is also called an artist - it very quickly and brightly repaints the grass and leaves, choosing the most impressive colors and tones from one palette. In one of the songs, the poet Bulat Okudzhava wrote: “Painters, dip your brushes...so that your brushes are like leaves, like leaves by November.” These lines evoke the views of forests and plains in that autumn season, which we call golden. And the most expressive and memorable paintings by Russian landscape artists on the theme of autumn also come to mind.

Just as the description of nature in autumn in poetry is varied, filled with many different moods, so the autumn landscapes of Levitan, Polenov, Vasiliev, Savrasov, Krymov, Kustodiev contain joy, sadness, romantic thoughtfulness, and despondency. This, of course, depends on what period of autumn the artist chose as the theme for his painting. If we talk about golden autumn, then in these works one can always feel the painter’s delight at the possibilities of autumn to paint nature in different colors.

(Painting by I. I. Shishkin “Early Autumn”)

Even more cheerfulness shines through in the cheerful and bright painting by I. I. Shishkin “Early Autumn”. Although the alleys among the yellow trees are deserted, the bright colors only evoke a romantic mood. Autumn is diverse and changeable: everyone perceives it in their own way - we see this in Russian painting dedicated to autumn.

It lost ground and autumn arrived with its gray weather. Unfortunately, for many people, it is in the fall that the mood drops to zero. Causeless sadness, apathy, and lethargy appear. There are signs of autumn depression, from which, according to WHO statistics, every fifth person on the planet suffers. As one of my readers wrote in a comment: “It’s sad - summer has flown by, but it seemed like it had just begun. How quickly time flies.” Therefore, it’s time to talk about how to stay positive so that the autumn mood does not affect your health.

The fact is that at this time of year, restructuring occurs in the body. The air temperature drops, daylight hours decrease, and if the rains “charge”, then the frequent weather changes characteristic of autumn will cause an exacerbation of chronic diseases. Particularly affected are older people who were busy in their haciendas during the summer and did not listen to the state of their health, and now, when the body reacts more sharply to increased humidity and cold, they also have free time to listen to their aggravated ailments.

In the human body, the internal clock changes from summer to winter time. Even the need for food changes. If in the summer, as a rule, everyone prefers light food, now you want more fatty dishes. In connection with the approaching cold weather, our bodies, like bears before hibernation, have a need to produce additional calories. During the winter, for some, these reserves reach a critical level, so with the arrival of spring, a pressing question arises: how to lose weight.

But let’s not talk about sad things, because this time of year has many advantages, and the disadvantages can be avoided.

One of the sources of good health and mood, and not only in the autumn, is physical activity. Everyone knows the old truth: . Walk more often. If possible, replace a trip in public transport with a walk. Do exercises in the morning. Of course, if you are a lazy person like me, then go to the pool instead of exercising.
