🎃🎃🎃👻👻👻Have a Healthy Halloween👻👻👻🎃🎃🎃
Too much Halloween candy got you spooked? Try some of these healthy tips ideas so good, it’s scary!
🎃Fill up first. What kid doesn’t want to eat their favourite candy right when it goes into their trick-or-treat bag? Having a healthy meal BEFORE your kids go trick-or-treating can reduce their temptation to snack while walking or to overindulge because their tummies will be full.
🎃Bag the monster bag. Choose or make a smaller collection container for your child. If you encourage kids to only take one treat from each house, they’ll be able to visit more houses in the neighbourhood.
🎃Get moving. Get some exercise by making Halloween a fun family activity. Set a goal of how many houses or streets you’ll walk round, or compete in teams to do as many as you can. Bring a bottle of water and a flashlight, and wear comfortable shoes for walking.
🎃Look before you eat. Check expiration dates and inspect all edibles before allowing children to eat them. Don’t let children eat anything with questionable or unknown ingredients, especially if they have food allergies.
🎃Have a plan. Halloween, can be a great time to talk with kids about moderation and making smart eating choices. Plan in advance how many treats they’ll be allowed to take at each house, keep and eat. If they’re old enough, let them help decide what to do with excess.
