Avoid the Halloween Candy Crazy

Halloween is finally here! For most of us, that means scary movies, pumpkin carving, and chowing down on way too much candy. Although overindulging can be fun, it’s not always the best idea. Consuming too much candy is a sure way to negatively impact your health, from weight gain to tooth decay and even an increased chance of developing diabetes. Completely avoiding Halloween treats might not be the answer, but we’ve put together some tips to help you avoid the candy craze.

Limit Your Candy Consumption

A great way to help you stay on track with your healthy eating is to limit the amount of candy you consume, whether it is a number of pieces or an amount of days you’ll keep the candy out. Candy is full of preservatives, empty calories, and sugar which is detrimental to your health. A treat every now and then won’t have huge negative impacts, but forming the habit of eating candy certainly will.

Find Ways to Share Your Candy With Others

Sometimes resisting the urge to purchase a bag of Halloween candy is just too much! It is more than okay to cave on those chocolate cravings, but don’t let it consume you. Eat a few pieces, and share with friends, family, and coworkers so more people can enjoy.

Create Your Own Healthy Concoctions

The best way to really know what you’re consuming is by making your own recipes. Treats bought at the store aren’t the healthiest of options. If you get creative (Hello, Pinterest!), you can make your own Fall desserts with fewer calories and healthier ingredients. Making your own Halloween treats is a scary good time!

Freeze Your Candy

If you just can’t part with your Halloween candy, we suggest freezing it. Frozen candy takes a lot longer to eat, or requires plannings if you want to set it out to thaw. This is a great way to prevent your small snack from turning into attacking an entire bag of candy.

Patient Reviews

"My overall health has also improved because my allergies and my arthritis are also not as severe as they used to be. Dr. Stiles has always been very accommodating with her hours and appointments, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Over the years, I have recommended my sister, my best friend, my cousin and other friends to this office for chiropractic care."

"Excellent patient care and a convenient location.  Dr. Stiles technique is gentle and effective.  The office staff is professional and flexible.  The office hours offer a wide array of times for busy working people.  I switched from a chiropractor that I loved for the location and have not lost anything in terms of service.  I highly recommend for pain management, maintenance and wellness services."

-Ruanda G.

"Not the typical doctors office.  Dr. Stiles & staff are friendly and are flexible with appointments. And my neck and my back feel great!"

-Kevin T.

"Dr. Stiles is very gentle and caring and helpful in explaining what was wrong with my neck and spine. She came up with a treatment plan for me for the next few months. I was re-examined a few weeks ago and showed a lot of improvement! All without surgery. I highly recommend this chiropractic office."

-Monique P.

"Everyone in the office is very nice and helpful. I started going to Dr. Stiles because I had vertigo for more than a year. My doctor just told me it would go away eventually and prescribed Dramamine (which just made me feel sick). I decided to try this method as a last effort to get rid of it and it's worked. I couldn't be happier with the results from my visits here. I would (and have) recommended her to friends and co-workers."

-Jennifer M.

"I've been seeing Dr. Stiles for the past 10 years and in that time, my sciatic nerve has stopped flaring up. I also have had no more middle ear infections or ringing in my ears. I first started going to Stiles Chiropractic for what I thought was the beginning of carpal tunnel syndrome, my wrists, hands and fingers were numb and tingling. After a few adjustments, I was feeling much better and have not had that issue since.

-Dee M.

"Dr. Stiles has been my chiropractor for almost a decade. Regular visits to Dr. Stiles help me prevent tension from escalating and causing severe, debilitating pain that I've had in the past. I used to "throw my back out" once or twice a year, resulting in my being unable to move for three or four days. With ongoing maintenance, I'm happy to say that that rarely happens anymore, and if it does, Dr. Stiles knows me well enough to help fix it right away."

-Cathy H.

"I see Dr Stiles every week for neck pain and she is amazing! She is very kind and responsive to her clients. Highly recommended."

-Samantha M.

"Dr. Stiles is stellar! I am a resident of Los Angeles and any time I'm in town this is my go to place for chiropractic. Dr. Stiles is very thorough and educated on every joint in the body. I feel at ease and in good hands and most importantly well-informed through our entire sessions. I always walk out feeling taller and poised with a healthy body!"

-Kaila H.

"Wonderful! Best Ever! – I have been to chiropractors throughout my life (good and bad ones) but I have had the best experience here with Dr. Tracey. She gave me a very detailed exam and took the time to go over my exam and explain a treatment plan that will help me feel better in the long run. And I am all about preventative maintenance! She also explained my adjustment so well, I didn't freak out. Her office is wonderful, Friendly and warm!!"
