Some facts about fall

One of my favorite photography blogs is Focusing on Life.  Several gals take turns presenting pictures and the shots are amazing. They share pointers and tips on photography. Stop over for a visit to be amazed. 
  Here are a few researched facts from Judy about fall that I thought you'd enjoy.

*  You get "chattier" in the fall.  Researchers found that when the weather cools, phone calls to your friends last longer. So sit down, relax, grab your phone and have a long chat with a friend or family member!

*  It turns out that Autumn is the 'season of togetherness.'  Again, research shows that once the leaves begin to fall, our brains give us a boost of Dopamine, a "happiness hormone."  This boost of Dopamine is said to cause romantic thoughts, butterflies in our stomachs, and the need for lots of snuggling and "such." 

* You may be more dehydrated in the fall than in the summer.  With the cooler temps, we may be less likely to drink as much water as necessary, and instead reach for cups of hot tea or coffee, which are diuretics.  So be sure to add water to your daily drinks!

*  Apparently our memories are better in the fall, and cooler weather (however I have yet to see this benefit from fall).  Researchers actually have found that the cooler and wetter the weather, the better our memory. Imagine all that we will remember by the end of January!
