Halloween
is right around the corner and city kids are gearing up for an
action-packed October 31, filled with costumes, creepy crawlers, and of course, candy! And while it’s perfectly okay to indulge in a few treats, it’s a good idea to keep your kids’ candy consumption in check. With this in mind, the Vanderbilt YMCA is
encouraging families to take small steps to make Halloween more about
fun family fitness, rather than frighteningly fattening food. “Building
a healthy lifestyle for your family means making smart choices 365 days
a year,” said Judy Ouziel, Executive Director of the Vanderbilt YMCA. “Halloween
is a great opportunity to focus your family’s attention on physical
activity and eating habits, and to demonstrate that ‘everything in
moderation’ doesn’t mean it’s ok to eat candy until you’re sick to your
stomach.”
Here, the Vanderbilt YMCA has provided the following tips to make sure that your family has a healthy and safe Halloween. Trick or treat!
