Trick or Treat! Our tips for a Healthy Halloween

Seasonal Tips

When it comes to sugar-filled holidays like Halloween, it can be hard to convince your kids to ease up on the candy. But part of being a parent is having a few tricks of our own up our sleeves! We aren’t suggesting that you completely avoid all the treats this Halloween, but keeping bags and bags of candy around the house isn’t healthy for anyone. Here are a few healthy suggestions to help you and your family have a healthy and happy Halloween.

Scary Good Snacks

As consumers have become more and more health-conscious, there has been an increase in healthy alternatives that still taste delicious. Choose candies that are all-natural or hand out individually wrapped fruit snacks or crackers. There are even Halloween-themed granola bars, raisins, packs of pretzels, and pumpkin seeds (which go perfectly with the holiday). Make sure the healthy options you choose are individually wrapped for safety.

Can You Get Away With No Candy?

Kids don’t just go crazy for candy. There are plenty of fun Halloween themed products to hand out to trick-or-treaters. Temporary tattoos and stickers fun for kids without loading them up with sugar. You can also pass out small toys from your local party store. Not only are they fun to play with (think glow sticks, spider rings, or other spooky toys) but they are also a great distraction from eating too much candy.

Don’t Forget Dinner

To keep your kids from loading up on too much sugar, be sure to feed them a well-rounded meal before they go trick-or-treating. If you make it fun, they won’t even notice they are getting a healthy meal that keeps them from filling up on sugar. Be sure to include fiber, complex carbs, and lean protein so you can your little ghouls will have plenty of energy for a frightfully fun night.

Don’t Keep all the Candy

Don’t drag on the Halloween fun for too long. Keeping leftover candy around for months and months after the holiday, continuously snacking until it’s gone, is no way to ring in the next round of holidays. Bring leftover candy to your office or pass it along to friends with a more serious sweet tooth.

Holidays are about having fun and spending time with your family, but don’t let the health of you and your family members go to the wayside, especially when you can provide healthier options at home.

I have been going to Williamsburg Chiropractic for two months. It is clear that the doctors at this practice are dedicated to helping their patients feel the best that they can. I love that the intake process includes taking x-rays, as it provided me with a clear picture of my structural imbalances and helps me understand more deeply how the adjustments are helping to realign my spine. There are also incremental body scan check-ins which reveal the progress my nervous system is making as a result of the adjustments over time. The office is also very efficient with wait times. Highly recommend!

Williamsburg Chiropractic is a quality practice all around.The front desk staff are always kind and responsive, Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Thomas are informative and consistently demonstrate expertise in their field, and I've never had a single billing issue (even while using my medical insurance plan).I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Williamsburg Chiropractic if you're experiencing any pain or discomfort - no matter the severity - as they may be able to help!

I suffered from a pinched nerve from my neck running down my arm for 3 months. It stopped me from working out which I had been doing daily. Went to a physical therapist for 2 of the 3 months. Did acupuncture regularly. Visited a neurologist. I did not want to take any medication to get rid of the pain, but nothing was working. Until I found Williamsburg Chiropractic.After very thorough examination and 1 week of treatment, we had established the reason for my pinched nerve and the pain had reduced by 60%. 2 weeks after that the pain was completely gone and I am now back to my routine of lifting heavy weights. BIG BIG thank you to the amazing people at Williamsburg Chiropractic. I am forever grateful and VERY HIGHLY recommend them to anyone suffering from any sort of body aches.

I tweaked my back weightlifting, and it was pretty painful to say the least. Within one session with Dr. Hoffman, I was in significantly less pain, and in two sessions in two days I was near back to normal. If you're debating a holistic route to pain, this is a great place to start. They x-ray you so they know exactly what they're working with and are very patient with explaining everything going on with your body. Would recommend!
