Many people no longer view Halloween as a once-a-year celebration. There are plenty of fall events, parties, and celebrations to look forward to throughout the season, even after October 31st has passed. Don't risk your health during spooky celebrations and fall festivities. Try substituting junk food with nutritious treats and take it a step further with these healthy tips.

EAT BEFORE GOING OUT

Even though food may be served at an event, it will most likely be unhealthy options that will serve a large number of people. Hot dogs, chips, and pizza are just a few of the common party foods served at events. It will also be tempting to eat a lot of candy and treats. Before you leave, eat a nutritious meal to ensure you are well-nourished. It will also prevent you from eating too much junk while you are away.

WALK EVERYWHERE

Do not drive while trick-or-treating. Leave your car at home or park in a nearby parking lot of your destination. Make your way back and drive to the next section of town after walking a couple of blocks. Walking is an excellent way to get enough exercise for the night. You will be able to recover some of the calories you consumed in candy along the way.

MAKE HEALTHY HALLOWEEN TREATS AND DRINKS AVAILABLE

Perhaps your house will be the party venue for Halloween, in which case you should offer healthy Halloween treats and drinks to your guests in order to reduce the amount of sugar and calories they consume during this season. Healthy snacks and drinks do not have to be boring. For example, serve infused water with peeled grapes to look extra spooky rather than a sugary punch.

HAND OUT NON-EDIBLE ITEMS

There are many items you can pass out to trick-or-treaters other than candy and food. Instead of giving kids junk food, give them non-edible items. There are plenty of Halloween-themed products you can buy, including pencils, glow sticks, bouncy balls, spider rings, stickers, and temporary tattoos.

By following these healthy tips and making some simple changes, you can create a healthier Halloween for yourself, your kids, and the people around you. A chiropractic approach to health focuses on whole-body wellness, which means taking care of your body as best as you can. To discover how chiropractic care can help you improve your health, schedule a consultation with Wills Chiropractic, your local Rochelle, IL chiropractor.
