Trick or Treating Safety
Halloween is such a fun time of year for kids and adults alike, so its important that we take some precautions to keep it that way! Here's my list of trick or treating tips for your family. Wear comfortable shoes!! Carry a flashlight Wear something with a reflector on it (you can even find reflector tape and paint at your local home improvement store. Go out before dark-especially for little ones. The big kids tend to flood the streets later at night making it hard for little ones to trick or treat. Never go into a strangers house, even if they ask you to come in while they go and get some candy.
Throw away all homemade or unwrapped treats. I know some people work hard on making great home made treats, but in this day and age its not worth the risk! When walking down the street, have the adult walk closest to the road, and the children closest to the houses. Do not run ahead of the adults-its very easy for children to get carried away and accidentally run into the road. Do not pet strange animals while trick or treating. Though you really shouldn't ever pet someone's animal with out being invited to do so, you especially shouldn't during trick or treating where your costume or other costumes may be irritating or confusing to the animal.
Do not eat candy as you go. Always be nice, even when people do not have any candy to give out. Do not knock on doors where the lights are off. Watch where you step! Have a plan before you start. If you are walking in an unfamiliar neighborhood, it is easy to get lost.
When you approach a treat giving house, make sure to yell "Trick or Treat!" very loudly! When you get home, check all of the candy before allowing children to eat any of it. You are looking for:
- old worn wrappers
- torn wrappers (even with the smallest hole)
- home made treats
- unwrapped treats
- toys with small parts that may be a chocking hazard
- money (change)
- fruit
- any candy that looks like it may have been tampered with.
- for small children, remove any hard candies. They tend to become slick once in the mouth and can quickly become a choking hazard.
- lickable stamps
- glass or sharp objects
What is a healthy eating plan?
What is a healthy eating plan?Healthy eating is important for everyone, from babies to the elderly. Learning to eat well is more than just eating a variety of foods so that your body gets the proper nutrients. It is also about enjoyment of foods and maintaining a healthy weight. Anyone can eat for good health. It involves 2 simple steps.
First is to eat foods from all the different food groups. The second step is to eat a variety of foods from each group every day. Sounds simple. However so many people are not following a healthy eating plan. Busy lifestyles, availability of fast food, advertising and a lack of understanding of what healthy food is, all work against people trying for healthier eating.
Unhealthy eating causes illness and weight problems. Type 2 diabetes is increasing dramatically and is directly linked to the increase in obesity. Heart disease and some cancers are also linked to obesity.A study by the Medical Journal of Australia found that 56% of Australian...
