Tips for a Healthier Halloween

Keeping a healthy lifestyle can be challenging with Halloween just around the corner, as candy and junk food can usually be found all over the house. Fortunately, a healthier Halloween is lurking around the corner! Here are some Halloween health tips from a chiropractor to help you stay healthy this season.

Start Walking

You have to be ready to walk a lot if you're going to dominate Halloween this year. By going on a walk after dinner, you can form a healthy habit and incorporate this into your daily routine. By doing so, you will tone up to prepare for Halloween trick-or-treating and maintain a healthy lifestyle as the weather cools down.

Remember to stretch regularly! When it's time to go trick-or-treating, stretching can help you prepare for the trip around the neighborhood. There are a variety of exercises that your chiropractor can teach you that can help warm up your muscles.

Prepare with Healthy Meals

Before taking your kids trick-or-treating on Halloween, make sure you eat a filling, healthy dinner. As a result, it will be easier for you (and the kids) to resist the temptation to stuff yourself with candy before going to bed.

Have A Plan

Perhaps you want to have the best costume on the block or get twice as much candy as last year. No matter what your goal is, it's also important to plan healthier Halloween snacks like bottles of water and fruit. Another way to resist candy is to set a fitness goal, like walking for twenty minutes for every piece or two of candy you eat. Planning your route ahead of time will help you reach your candy-eating and walking goals.

Freeze It

Place all the Halloween candy you will have sitting around your house in the freezer to remove some of the temptations. If you have the candy lying around, you can mindlessly pop a piece into your mouth as you walk by. Keeping Halloween candy frozen will make it harder for you and your children to eat all of it at once. By doing this, you'll have to work a little for it, and you'll probably take your time to enjoy it.

Consult A Chiropractor

Halloween is only the beginning of the holiday season, and soon it will be Thanksgiving and Christmas, which can have an impact on your health and wellbeing. Seeking chiropractic care regularly will allow you to correct any joint restrictions that may be contributing to your pain and learning general health tips to improve your overall health. Furthermore, chiropractic care will aid in maintaining a healthy immune system, which is important as cold and flu season approaches!

Patient Reviews

"I was experiencing a lot of pain in my feet following the birth of my son. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in both feet. After seeing my PCP and being prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, I looked into the benefits of Chiropractic care. I was in so much pain from the plantar fasciitis that is because difficult for me to walk. I was unable to carry my newborn and walk because I was concerned for his safety. As part of my care plan, custom orthotics were recommended. Within days of receiving my orthotics I had a reduction in my pain. Regular Chiropractic visits and my orthotics have allowed me to be able to care for my son again!"

"I worked for Wal-Mart for 20 years walking on hard floors 10 hours a day. I felt a horrible pain in my right hip/buttocks area and could not bend or walk. My sister did a little research and recommended Healthy Life Chiropractic- They do EVERYTHING! After the first treatment, the pain was gone! After being educated on my problems, they worked on my whole body and it feels 100% better. I have never been a good sleeper, but I am sleeping much better and get up in the morning ready to go! I have never felt better!"

- Michael Chambers

"My daughter came in to see Dr. Rob for possible curve in her spine. She was officially diagnosed with scoliosis after her evaluation. As parents, we were having a hard time wrapping out heads around what that meant for our beautiful 8 year old girl. Dr. Rob, Dr. Tina, and the whole staff at Healthy Life Chiropractic have been phenomenal! After 2 months of treatment- regular adjustments and exercises- we are seeing a huge improvement! Her hips are aligned now, her feet meet properly, and she is feeling better all around. We haven’t retaken her x-rays yet- not until we’ve done treatment for a whole year- but based off our experience, and results we’ve seen so far, I am confident that her curve has not gotten worse and has probably even improved!"

- Margaret Wearne

"I began my chiropractic care in October 2017 because of increased pain and decreased mobility in my left hip that had gotten increasingly worse over the previous 4-5 months. I love that I have been able benefit from whole body treatment that in turn has almost completely taken away the issues I was experiencing with my hip. I am so grateful for feeling good again and I highly recommend Healthy Life for your chiropractic care and total life wellness."

"I have been a patient at Healthy Life Chiropractic for over 3 years! After driving several hundred miles a week and spending time on the computer for work, I not only get regular adjustments, I utilize the massage therapists as well. I've recently begun using, with success, Standard Process supplements and Doterra Essential Oils. I appreciate the holistic approach to care by all of the staff at Healthy Life!"

"I have been coming to Healthy Life Chiropractic for over a year now. The treatments I receive give me such a relief of stress. The personnel is a big part of my relief.
