The time of year that Keats called the 'Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness', autumn is a season famous for its harvest times, turning leaves, cooling temperatures and darkening nights.

You've no doubt heard the expression that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." The fact is, it kind of does. Apples boast a ton of health benefits, from encouraging weight loss to lowering your risk of diabetes to helping your heart and brain. So embrace the fall season by adding a daily apple to your diet.

You've probably heard the story of the dude who walked through large swaths of the American Midwest, planting apple trees as he went. But you probably also assumed he was a character out of folklore. In fact, John Chapman was a real person. For decades he made his way from state to state, installing nurseries and fencing them in to protect from livestock, then leaving them in the care of locals. Chapman's generous personality and peculiar preference for sleeping outside helped him become a figure of fascination to many (and the theme of many fall festivals). After his death, his legacy took on mythic proportions, but in life, he was just a guy who really liked planting stuff.

This is the only time of year that you're likely to see a jack-o-lantern, and fans of this craft have been treated to some increasingly elaborate designs in recent years. Carvers have turned his casual activity into a kind of folk art, and you may not have to travel farther than down the street to see some truly incredible pieces.

While some love camping in the summer, the fall, when leaves are changing color and the air is a bit crisper, is arguably the best time to get out in nature, kick up your heels, and keep warm by the light of the campfire. With Halloween approaching, it's also arguably the best time for spinning some spooky campfire stories.

Pumpkin pie or apple pie may be the first autumn-appropriate desserts that come to mind when you planning how to cap off a meal. But fall is also the ideal time to whip up some cobbler. Cobbler, made by putting a sweet fruit filling of apple, apricot or another fall fruit into a baking dish, topping with delicious batter, and baking to crisp perfection (then topping with a scoop of ice cream, of course) is one of the best ways to warm up in the fall.

While you might say that a scare "almost gave me a heart attack," the opposite may be true. Some medical professionals believe that an innocent scare now and then (say while visiting a haunted house or watching a scary movie) can, in fact, promote heart health. Michael Castine, cardiologist at Ochsner Medical Center, explained in a blog post that when scared, a person's adrenaline triggers the blood vessels to contract and re-direct blood toward the heart and lungs, in a "flight or fight" response. The result? "This can train your heart to pump more blood with every stroke—increasing your cardiac output up to eight times its resting capacity," Castine explained.

According to a 2012 study published in the Journal of Consumer Research, both men and women are more interested in watching romantic movies during the fall than at any other time of the year. The researchers chalk it up to the fact "that physical coldness activates a need for psychological warmth, which in turn leads to an increased liking for romance movies."

Drawing on a massive study from Bristol University on the health development of more than 14,000 children born during the 1990s, researchers reported in the British Medical Journal that children delivered in the autumn and winter months were nine percent more active than the average. The study's lead author suggested to The Guardian that the timing may relate to when autumn-born children begin school: "If you're born later in the school year, you're likely to be smaller than your peers and that could disadvantage you in sports and other activities, such as playing," Calum Mattocks said.

While scientists tell us that fall occurs when the Earth tilts away from the Sun, the ancient Greeks had a much cooler explanation. According to Greek legend, the season is caused by Persephone's return to the underworld, where she rules as Hades' queen. Her mother, Demeter, the goddess of fertility and harvest, is so upset that she allows the planet's crops to wither—until Persephone's return in the spring.

The fall has some odd effects on animals. For the adorably tiny black-capped chickadee, this season causes its hippocampus—the part of the brain that handles spatial organization and memory—to swell about 30 percent. According to Colin Saldanha, assistant professor of biological sciences at Lehigh University, all these new nerve cells help it to collect and hide massive amounts of seeds, that it will rely on during the barren winter months. "Our hypothesis is that this exaggerated growth occurs when the birds need it the most," he told Science Daily at the time his findings were announced.

The full moon that occurs during autumn equinox, when the Earth's equator most closely lines up with the sun's center, is noticeably brighter and rises earlier than a typical full moon. Appearing some time in September or October, this harvest moon can appear almost orange (usually when it's closest to the horizon), a bit like a giant pumpkin in the sky—very seasonally appropriate! This bright, early moonlight has long been helpful to farmers as they harvest summer crops, hence the name.

In a study published in the 2008 issue of Perception, researchers discovered that men found women more attractive during cooler months than warmer ones, likely due to the "contrast effect." This theory holds that since men see more of women's bodies during the warmer months of the year, it takes less stimuli to catch their attention once the weather causes them to start layering up.
