Halloween Wellness Tips

1) Keep moving, even on Halloween night. Walk with your kids while they are out that night. If you don't have kids that age, go for a walk before the neighbourhood kids start coming to your door! The fresh air is invigorating and the movement will help you feel good and likely motivate you to minimize your candy intake (make sure you have one of the smoothies when you get home instead). Be present in the moment, take in the sights and sounds of this unique night!  

2) This advice comes from the Nutrition Program, 2B Mindset: 

Registered Dietician, Ilana Muhlstein encourages you to not be too hard on yourself if you indulge in Halloween 'treats'. It is not going to completely sabotage your wellness efforts if you have some sugary treats once in a while. She recommends taking the time to thoroughly enjoy your Halloween "treat" and leave it at that. No stressing about it like crazy or letting it ruin your day. Simply enjoy in moderation and then move on. Get back to your healthier choices at your next opportunity (meal).  

Have a fun, safe and healthy Halloween, please let me know if try any of these recipes / tips.
