Ten Tips For a Healthy Halloween by Dale Reynolds

Does Halloween signal the starting of a whole season of unhealthy eating for you? The Halloween candy is out and we buy early for the best selection. Then it’s in the house calling our name, and we eat some of it (or all of it?) before the day arrives! After the trick-or-treat event, we have leftover candy in the house. And the next thing you know, it’s Thanksgiving and that starts the whole holiday feeding frenzy until New Year’s!

Don’t tear your hair out! Here are 10 tips to survive Halloween in a healthy way and head into the holiday season on a better note!

If you’ll be handing out candy to trick-or-treat visitors, consider buying candy that you don’t even like. That way you’ll be less likely to eat it.

Get candy that isn’t too high in fat and calories, such as lollipops or peppermint patties or hard candy.

Buy your candy at the last minute. This serves three purposes: you won’t eat a bunch of it ahead of time, you’ll probably get a better price because it will be marked down, and you might not find the kind you really like to tempt you because they might be out of it already!

Wear a costume while handing out candy. It will be more fun, so maybe you won’t think about the candy as much. Try to come up with a costume that discourages eating, like something with a mask or long fake fingernails.
