Thanksgiving might be a time for indulgence, but no one should be indulging for the entire season.

Most people gain up to 5 pounds this time of year!

What they don't know if there are actually many healthy foods that thrive during the fall.

1. Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber and high in an antioxidant known as beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A once consumed.

2. Apples

This is the perfect time of year for a sweet and crisp apple! Apples are not only delicious but are known to be heart healthy and good for weight loss.

3. Cranberry

Cranberries have more health benefits than most people know. They can improve digestion, reduce cholesterol, boost your immune system and help to prevent gum disease. Cranberries can also be incorporated into many of your favorite dishes like oatmeal and turkey sandwiches.

4. Pumpkin

Even if you aren't a fan of the PSL there are still so many ways to enjoy this immunity-boosting treat. The most popular pumpkin recipes are for sweets, but you can usually find a pretty good pumpkin curry recipe if you look hard enough.

5. Pomegranate 

Kylie Jenner isn't the only one obsessed with pomegranate! It's hard not to love this tangy fruit. Pomegranate helps prevent Alzheimer's and arthritis. It's also an anti-inflammatory.

6. Brussel Sprouts

Hear me out. When made by talented hands, these bitter veggies can actually taste good. They're also a great source of iron! Try them with your favorite sauce and see what you think.

7. Pears

Pears are super delicious and loaded with fiber. They're like more interesting and well-read cousin that went to Europe last summer.

8. Cauliflower

If you've never had cauliflower mash, you haven't lived. It tastes like mashed potatoes, but it's got all the health benefits of cauliflower.

9. Turnip

Turnips have loads of vitamins and minerals! Most people haven't even tried if, but they're actually quite delicious. Turnips can be used for making a variety of dishes like hummus, soup and even latkes.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
