Trick or Treat: Do You Know Candy is Killing Our Children!

I recently came in contact with a great article at Palmetto health regarding Halloween. I hope you find value as much as I did.  Do you know that candy is basically killing our children.  The obesity rate amongst children is increasing year over year with an astonishing pace. You can read the whole article at http://www.palmettohealth.org/body.cfm?id=777 If you are concerned and wish to not only improve your health but others in your life, concider the benefits of fresh, healthy food delivered right to your door go to http://www.tilttotaltraining.com/mytiltmeals.html for more details and start changing the way you eat and change your life! TRICK or TREAT The appearance of ghosts, goblins, and witches can only mean one thing — Halloween is just around the corner! With childhood obesity on the rise in the US — the rate of childhood obesity has doubled in the past 20 years — what can be done with the buckets of candy to be collected? Nutrition and Halloween aren’t two words that are normally seen together, but it is possible to promote healthy eating habits during the Halloween season. Here are some tips: Fill kids’ bellies with a nutritious meal before they head out for trick-or-treating. This way, they are less likely to fill up on empty calorie foods. Giving kids healthy foods first will reduce the chances of overindulgence. Pass out non-food treats such as those found at children’s birthday parties: pencils, note pads, bubbles, noisemakers, etc. If you have leftovers, these treats can easily be stored for use the following year. Just be sure not to pass out choking hazards to young children (coins, rings, etc). Granola bars, pretzels, cheese and cracker packs, sugar free gum, packets of instant hot chocolate, raisins, and nuts are some healthy alternatives. (Note that raisins and nuts are choking hazard for young children). If you must pass out candy bars, get the smaller fun sized ones. And only give one or two — not a handful — to your trick-or-treaters. Some candy bars have less fat and calories than others- read the labels before you buy. Ration the loot: Total restriction of candy isn’t healthy- anything that is restricted or denied tends to take on greater appeal. On the other hand, allowing your child to devour an entire bag of candy is a sure bet for a stomachache. Stick to small servings by only allowing your child one or two pieces of candy per sitting as a dessert after a healthy meal. A few days after Halloween, put the candy out of sight and out of mind You can ration out the treats later. Buy your Halloween candy at the last minute to avoid tempting yourself and other family members. Buy less than you think you will need. Beware of cavities: Halloween candy, as well as any sticky, sugary food, can easily promote tooth decay. Make sure children brush their teeth well after a candy snack and before going to bed. Keeping in mind common sense, a little forethought and moderation, Halloween can remain good, scary, delicious fun for children and adults alike!

ALL I DID WAS INCORPORATE THESE TWO SUPERFOODS INTO MY DIET

I'm not getting paid to tell you this website is great!

There is some mystique about them, isn’t there? Imagine a food–or a group of foods–that alone can elevate moods, enrich your body with almost hundreds of minerals and taste great all at the same time?

The 7 foods I want to talk about do all this and more… and are not just the “ordinary” superfoods like the cherry, the avocado or extra virgin olive oil. These foods are from the corners of the world and they will pack a super-punch into your everyday diet.

GOTO: http://livesuperfoods.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT&Store_Code=lsf for more details.

Here are some foods I incorporated into my diet recently:

Organic Coconut Oil

Organic Goji Berries

I have already seen a dramatic difference in two weeks.

I have already lost 5 pounds!

Supermarket Tricks To Keep Your Clients From Being Thin

Supermarket Tricks To Keep Your Clients From Being Thin

===========================================

I received these tips today from my friend and

colleague and felt they not only apply to everyone, but

those looking for weight loss. These are her Top 6

Shelf and Display Tactics that grocery stores use to

sell more product whether it is good for you or not.

Feel free to pass it along to your friends and family so they know

to avoid the common tricks the supermarkets are using

to get them to purchase unhealthy foods.

One of the best ways to save money at the supermarket

and eat healthier is to be aware of marketing

strategies used to encourage you to buy more and spend

more. The following are some of the most common

tactics:

1. The eye-level trick. A recent survey of shampoo

products in Northern California supermarkets showed

that in almost all of the 20 stores visited, the

higher-priced shampoos were at eye level. This is true

for other products throughout the supermarket.

Especially the ones that will bring the supermarket the

most profit. It doesn't matter if the product is

loaded with fat and sugar. If it is highly profitable

for them they will have it at eye level.

2. End-of-aisle displays. End-of-aisle displays don't

mean the products are on sale. Check carefully;

sometimes these products are near their freshness

expiration dates. They are also food items that are

good impulse buys again regardless of fat and calories.

When you look at the end-of-aisle displays you normally

see cookies, crackers, soda, etc. All things that will sabotage your weight loss, but lead you to temptation as you pass aisle after aisle of bad choices.

3. Kids' cereals. The most expensive and unhealthiest children's breakfast cereals are often placed at their eye level (not adults'). As you shop the aisle, you don't even realize what's causing your kids to want to put just about every cereal box imaginable in the cart. If you look at those cereals what do they consist of? Double chocolate crunch, super sugar smacks, and not one cereal for kids at their eye level is healthy for them.

4. Shelves change constantly. Marketers will often

rearrange shelves, making shoppers search for their

regular items and discover new products in the old,

familiar shelve spaces. Again this is a way to

introduce a higher profit food item for the grocery

store. They want you to find the products that will

make them the most money not make you the skinniest.

5. Specialty items grouped together. Items for special occasions (for example, chips, dips and sodas) are often grouped together to increase impulse sales. I know in my grocery store the chips are on one side of the aisle and the soft drinks are on the other side. The dips are also located towards the end of the chip side.

Talk about one aisle to avoid all together if your goal

is weight loss. Make it a habit to not even enter that

aisle because you are setting yourself up for disaster.

You will have a hard enough time avoiding these

products on the end-of-aisle displays.
