FOREWORD

Dear Reader!

"Summer is over, the winds are chilly..." we learned in primary school. And indeed, in September, we sat in our school desks in pleasant weather, in bright sunshine, but free from extreme temperatures, to tell each other about our summer experiences.

Since then, thanks to man's "powerful" activity, it is no longer so obvious! Come what may, we can get hot and cold! But one thing is certain. We humans are well adapted to this, because we are an ecologically tolerant species, i.e. our organisms can cope with a lot! This is also the reason for our general distribution on Earth!

What do we need to be able to cope with marginal stresses? Exercise!
Training of body and soul, i.e. RECREATION!

Let's use our potential! Nourish our body and soul, for example with sunshine! Whatever the weather, the sun will often shine on us, still warm and bright! We need vitamin D, which our body will produce for us through sunlight. We need to come prepared for the grey days of winter! Vitamin D deficiency contributes to the circulatory and metabolic problems so common in our country.

Let's walk, hike, garden,
or just talk
outdoors as much as possible!

Remember: sunlight is also good for your mood! If we take a walk in nature, the colours of the crops and foliage will improve our mood, not to mention the quiet naps of nature. The basics of well being are there. Summer experiences and even the recounting of the events of the clean-up are mood boosters. We can even save this socialising for the rainy days ahead.

If you are looking for a change, and the weather is still grey or it is evening, but you are still interested in something short and interesting, there is the KERT and its magazine, Recreation.

I wish you a restful holiday!
