How to Have a Healthy & Fit Halloween:

I know it may be tempting to buy that bag of candy while doing your weekly grocery shopping, I suggest you wait and hold out to buy those treats until the day before.
With a little planning and creativity this Halloween can be the healthiest yet for you and your kids.
Use Trick or Treating in the neighborhood as a way to get in your 10,000 steps for the day, walking up and down the streets of your neighborhood is not only a great way to get exercise but it is a great way to meet your neighbors!
If you are staying in this Halloween, do your part for the little ones and provide them with healthier options. Instead of candy, offer safe non food treats or healthy snacks. Here is a quick list:
-nuts
-raisins
-sunflower seeds
-pumpkin seeds
-microwave popcorn (snack size)
-single serving cranberries
-graham crackers
-playing cards
-party favors
For those that are headed to a party, remember to stay hydrated, eat a healthy meal before and burn calories on the dance floor!
Remember to be safe and stop by the Portland Studio, Oct 29th to showcase your Halloween Costume!
