Mind Your Calories This Halloween!
With Halloween upon us and our families and residents gearing up for the next few days of festivities and good cheer, a friendly reminder is in order regarding minding your caloric intake.
Grandma used to tell us that everything can be good in moderation. Perhaps nowhere is this logic more aptly applied than in the case of candy!
Your kid’s gone to bed. His Halloween candy sits there unguarded. He won’t notice if you eat one or two. Or two or three. But before you dive in, remember that you shouldn’t get more than 10% of your daily calories from added sugar — that’s around 200 if you typically aim for 2,000 a day — and candy is loaded with it. So how many can you have? You’ll have to decide that for yourself, but knowing the numbers may help.
Make sure you look at the package and the calorie designations before you swallow the whole box of winkies!
Happy Halloween everyone from all of your friends at Ditmas Park!
