Halloween Sweets
Halloween is only a few weeks away! This time of year is all about candy and sweets, which is fine in moderation. However, between school and work events, Halloween themed parties and trick-or-treating, the opportunity for consuming too much sugar is all too easy. By the end of the month, this can lead to fatigue, mood swings, difficulty sleeping and just an overall “crummy” feeling from increased inflammation. While it is perfectly okay to indulge in a few of your favorite Halloween treats, we have compiled a list of our top 10 favorite healthy options to help you keep a balance and feeling your best as we head into the holiday season!
