How to Make Halloween Healthier for You and Your Children
Halloween is known for it's sweet treats and fun festivities, but it can often lead to an excessive amount of sugar consumption and cavities in children and adults. With the holiday season beginning, it's a good idea to get into healthy habits to combat the temptation to go overboard with treats. The
American Heart Association gives several great tips for keeping Halloween on the healthier side, including...
Walking the longer route to get extra exercise
Giving kids smaller bags to limit the amount of candy they can take
Encouraging kids to take only once piece of candy per house to elongate their walk around the neighborhood and to keep their candy count low
Making healthy, Halloween-themed treats
Exchanging candy for trips to a favorite park or a day trip
According to the American Heart Association, watching your sugar intake can help prevent heart disease, diabetes and more. If you're interested to learn how excess sugar affects the body in the long run, visit here.
