Healthy Alternatives on Halloween

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.
