This
holiday weekend, make a point of safely and positively enhancing your
Halloween fun with these helpful tips
from FlagHouse Sports:
Outside
for a Power Walk
Halloween
is a terrific opportunity to get out into the fresh air and power walk. Lift
and hold your arms up, swinging them at your sides as you take large strides.
Breathe deeply and keep your shoulders back.Make sure that children are always
accompanied by a responsible grownup and bring a flashlight with extra
batteries for after the sun goes down. For added safety, visit only the houses
of neighbors you know and wear light colors.

Substitute
Sugary Treats with Healthy Alternatives!
We
all love to munch on our favorite candies, but too much candy can be bad for
teeth and tough on a trim waistline. Instead of giving out candy at your door,
give out healthy yet fun alternatives. Try scented pencils and pens, stickers,
Mardi Gras beads, pinwheels, small stuffed plush toys, curly straws, or other
small party favors. These items are readily available at party stores and even
some local supermarkets.
Develop
a Healthy Eating Plan!
Parents
can monitor their child's candy intake by putting the candy out of sight in a
cupboard and by dispensing it only at the end of nutritious meals. Give out a
piece of candy as a reward for making healthy food choices during meals.
Try
dressing up fruits and vegetables to make them as fun to eat as candy:
sprinkle a little cinnamon and brown sugar on apples or dip celery in creamy
peanut butter. Make
the candy last for several weeks so that it continues to be something to look
forward to as well as a helpful tool for developing a healthy eating regimen.
Remember
to avoid eating sugary treats right before bed because sugar can make it
difficult to sleep. A good night's sleep is as essential to a healthy body as
good food and exercise
