Halloween: We surrender, let them go Trick or Treat.

Avoid eating high sugar food on Halloween

Halloween and “trick or treat” have been around forever.  We can’t tell the kids and lots of adults to not dress up and harassass the neighbors.  So what can we do to prevent our little and big kids from eating a monstrous amount of sugar and all the other chemicals, that go into making, Halloween candy?

Here are a few ways, you can get rid of some of that sugar.  BTW, you are gonna have to be a little bit sneaky, but, it is for their sake, so it is ok.

Have the kids spread their new bounty all over the kitchen table.  Explain, that you want to make sure that the goodies are all good.  Have a garbage can handy to dump any bad or broken candy or toys.  Here is where the sneaky part comes in.  Whenever you can, get rid of some of the good stuff.  You will be doing them a big favor.

Ask them which candies, they do not like and get rid of those too.  I promise, there won’t be much of those.  If it was free, I ate every single one.  Maybe, with a bit of luck, you can toss more.

Next is the ultimate test.  Ask for some of their candy for yourself.  With any luck, they will share.  Just get rid of as much as you can, and don’t you dare eat any of it yourself.

Well, good luck tonight.  have fun and be careful.

How To Stop Childhood Obesity – Elmo Health Tips

Stop child obesity

Elmo sent in this little video, because he wants to join in the fight to stop childhood obesity.  He wants all little boys and girls to lead happy and healthy lives.

This video is our way of motivating you to help your children and grandchildren to eat better foods.  Show them a better way to eat and be stronger.  Our children are our legacy.  Let us make them as healthy as we possibly can.

Changing their eating habits will not be an easy chore.  Like most of us, they have become addicted to fast, unhealthy foods.  As moms and dads and grandparents, we can make great changes in the eating lifestyle.  Lets give them a chance at a better life.

There is a new movement going on in this country and around the world.  Join that movement.  Teach them the right things to eat and drink.  They will love you for it,

And thanks to you, Elmo, for being our spokesperson.

Tips:

1. Stay hydrated.  Drink lots of water.  Eight to ten 12oz. glasses for adults and eight to ten 10 oz glasses for children.  Remember sodas and coffee don’t count, just plain water.  Try drinking a glass of water before and during dinner.  If plain water gets a bit boring, try adding a slice of fruit for taste.  Lemon, orange, strawberry, cucumber or even a slice of peach will liven up the taste.
