Happy Halloween!
Do you celebrate? My husband and I had some fun this year, dressing up as Barbie and Ken (my husband’s name really is Ken!). Halloween is the perfect time to enjoy some festivity, creativity, and treats. It’s also the unofficial kick-off to the holiday season, which brings an abundance of social gatherings, festive cocktails, sweet treats, and processed snacks.
Starting with Halloween, here’s a quick heads-up:
Beware of the Spooky Ingredients in Your Treats!
Here are a few ingredients to watch out for in your stash:
Spooky Ingredients Lurking in Halloween Candy
- Artificial Colors & Flavors – Added just for looks, but can cause chaos in the body.
- High-Fructose Corn Syrup – This sneaky sweetener is everywhere, adding unwanted calories and potential metabolic woes.
- Trans Fats – Hard to spot but easy to avoid when you know what to look for.
- Excessive Sodium – Often overlooked, it can add up fast and weigh down your health.
Indulging in Halloween treats is part of the fun, but moderation is key! Learning to recognize these ingredients (and their effect on your unique DNA) is a big step toward optimizing your health.
Here are Some Healthier Halloween Treats to Include in the Fun
For some healthier (and still satisfying) alternatives to keep the spooky season in balance, try these:
- Dark Chocolate – Rich in antioxidants, dark chocolate helps reduce blood pressure and boost heart health.
- Pumpkin Seeds – Full of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, these gems can support your immune system and heart.
- Berries – Bright, tasty, and packed with nutrients to keep your cells happy and healthy.
- Coconut Macaroons – Satisfy your sweet tooth with a touch of coconut and natural sweetness, without the artificial extras.
- Date & Nut Energy Balls – Naturally sweet and filling, they’re easy to make and packed with fiber and nutrients.
- Greek Yogurt with Honey & Cinnamon – Creamy and indulgent with a touch of sweetness, it’s a great dessert that also feeds your gut.
