Are you and your kids ready to celebrate Halloween this year?  Before you go trick-or-treating, here are a few tips to help celebrate a healthier Halloween.

Healthy Halloween Tips:

• Limit Candy - Kids are excited to eat candy after trick or treating, but make sure they don't overindulage.  For most kids, the amount that fits in one hand is a reasonable amount.  Always make sure they brush afterwards!
• Avoid Extra Sweets - Skip juice and sweetened drinks the week of Halloween.  Although, we always recommend choosing water instead!
• Healthy Party Treats - Ghost bananas and pumpkin tangerines are easy, festive Halloween treats that are good for your child's health.
