Why did the skeleton go trick or treating alone? Because he had no body to go with him! 🎃 Remember to keep your little ones safe this Halloween -- stick to well-lit areas, check your candy, and be safe!

For me this question is really age dependent. When my daughter was < 6, it was easy to supplement with: 1) small Halloween themed toys (e.g., bat tattoos, kaleidoscope, slinky), 2) bell peppers carved like a pumpkin filled with hummus, and 3) more nutrient dense low sugar versions of homemade candy (e.g., "Twix" "Snickers" "Reeses" made w/ dates, dark chocolate [over 70% cocoa], nut or seed butters, etc. See: https://lnkd.in/gp7fpj56 and https://lnkd.in/g2seC3WQ). Once kids start having Halloween parties in school and trick or treating with friends, eliminating or swapping candy becomes harder and perhaps from my perspective not helpful long term. I'm not sure it's a useful strategy to completely eliminate/not allow candy, as when adolescents become adults and independently responsible for making their own decisions, they need to know how to manage their relationship with food. Until we change the food environment, candy is always going to be there. Additionally, shame or guilt around specific foods or food groups can be harmful mentally and physically. In our household, we focus instead on an addition and moderation mindset. Halloween dinner is a super nutritious meal that helps the body handle the glucose spike that will come with candy and we talk about the physiological impact of what we eat in a positive way (e.g., "I love this! Plus it has lots of fiber, which will help me feel fuller for longer and handle the extra sugar from the fruity tootsie rolls and fastbreaks I'm going to steal from your candy haul tonight!"). We love Halloween and spend a lot of time celebrating and trick or treating, so the haul is typically pretty large. When we get home we ask her to pick half of it to donate upfront (usually the candy she doesn't like as much is selected, some of which she would probably eat anyway if it were around because it's candy, 😉 ). We then talk about eating whatever is leftover slowly over the following month rather than all at once, and we lead that example in our choices, but that choice is ultimately up to her. In addition to what we do in our own home, as a society we can also advocate for and create consumer demand for more affordable healthy options in the market, like manufacturing candy with lower sugar, saturated fat, and sodium. Big spooky love to all this Halloween whatever choices feel right for you and your family, 🎃! And please tell me what you are dressing up as and doing for Halloween either in a comment, a Teams chat, or in-person if we have a meeting over the next week - I would love to know!

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃 As we embrace the fun of Halloween, it's important to remember that unexpected surprises can happen—like injuries from pumpkin carving or trick-or-treating! To help medical practices navigate these spooky situations, we’ve compiled a list of 25 spooky ICD-10 codes for Halloween-related mishaps. 🎃👻 These codes not only ensure accurate billing but also help prevent revenue loss during a time when accidents are more likely to occur. Check out our article on The Intake for a mix of humor and essential billing tips: https://lnkd.in/ey55XWCZ Wishing you all a safe and fun #Halloween!
