On
Halloween, if you’d like to help your children to fight childhood obesity
and diabetes, you should find healthy alternatives to candy and sweets.
Have
you recently read labels on any candy? Just a quick reminder
that one tea spoon contains 4 grams of sugar.
Candies not only have a lot of sugar, fat and unhealthy chocolate but also contain artificial
sweeteners, and colors with chemicals.
Halloween Alternatives to candy:
 |
 |
| erasers, pencils |
 |
| stickers |
trading cards
money
 |
| raisins |
 |
| nuts |
 |
pumpkin seeds
|
cashews
apples
whole grain crackers
carrot sticks
 |
microwave popcorn
|
I am sure you can add more ideas to this
list, so be creative to keep our children healthy and happy.
Love, tbfc
