 Not only do the artificial ingredients and other items that are included in the candies etc. spell disaster, but the sugar content especially is known to affect kids' behavior, making them wild and unmanageable. At this time of year there are many nutritionists who offer advice as to how to get through Halloween without causing yourself or your children too much damage. It is very important to realize that Halloween can be fun without the pitfalls of all the unhealthy treats. Cinergy Health, offers interesting points of advice to make the whole "battle that much easier." Firstly she says you should buy treats “that you don’t particularly like!" This will make it so much easier to resist. Also, offering toys instead of candies is a good idea that the kids even like. Making rules regarding the consumption of sweets and treats is a good idea the whole year round, and this is truer when it comes to Halloween. Only allow one sweet per day – no matter how many the kids came home with. Home |
